Starting To Love My Sleeve

[Reddi4change 27]

At first I felt so restricted and closterphobic...but now that I am healing and able to do more, I actually love the feeling of getting full after a few bites. I am glad to get to this stage!!!

how long after your surgery did you start to feel better???

[Lissa 2,631]

Yay, Reddi!! That's an amazing feeling, isnt it? You're gonna adore your sleeve as your best friend before it's all done! As mad as I get at Rex for keeping me from eating all of something, every time I get on that scale or drop a size, I remember to thank him for the work he's doing!

It feels good not to be a slave to food anymore!!! I look at it like that!!

[Reddi4change 27]

Lissa, Thanks so much for your positive energy everyday!!!

[Reddi4change 27]

Star..I started to feel better after about a month...realistically. I didnt feel "terrible" during the whole process...but after a month you feel a LOT better!!

Yeah, I definitely feel what you mean by being a slave to the food in front of you. I really can't thank my sleeve enough for giving me the freedom to walk away. I am so happy for you. Good luck on your journey!

It does get so much better as we heal. I still have times when I eat stuff I shouldn't and I wasn't even hungry. And times I am very cautious about putting things in my sleeve. I'm very protective of it. LOL

Yes it does get better.

Huge Congrats to YOU!!!

I feel the same way!! I was sleeved on 2-27 and the only thing that bothers me is swallowing (some) pills...capsules are not my friend and yesterday one came back up..TMI I know, but important for some..it was the first time I have thrown up....small tablets are fine, so I will have to find other brands that will go down without problems...I love the restriction....the feel of being full after a small amount of food!!! I told hubs today at dinner...I love it!! I used to wake up EVERY morning and I swear the very first thing I would think of was food....Not now...that in itself is such a blessing!!!

Everyday is an interesting, yet fulfilling one w/ Sleevina!!! She's something else!! But, each day does get better as you learn to navigate and appreciate life pre-sleeve..

It helps me to remember that this is a journey and I have to submit to it, moment by moment!

Hey Reddi, we were sleeved the same day! I am sooooo happy I had this surgery. I'm getting comments that I've lost weight. I can really see the 20lb. loss! Excited for the future. Just having a hard time being patient!

I've always said the first 2 weeks were the hardest. My energy has been slow, but I think it's because I've had a hard time getting in my Protein. I've started making shakes and that has solved that problem. I already see the change in my pep!
