Stop regretting the food. start celebrating what you have - you arent missing anything you stood a good chance of missing because you were ill, or dead. It is a hard road, but you dont deal with it

I'm 25 years old and had my sleeve done on August 14, 2012. Some days I really find myself regetting my decision. I obviously thought about it for months and weighed the pros and cons. However, I didn't expect eating to be so difficult. I expected that I would have to eat smaller portions, but I think the social aspect of it is really started to hit me hard. I've lost a total of 34.5 pounds so far and for that, I am grateful. My blood pressure is normal now and overall, I feel physically better. Emotionally, I'm tearing myself up. Some days I cry and cry regretting what I've done because life is so different now. I picture myself when I'm 40 and have kids and how I will never be a "normal mom" because I can't have birthday cake with my kids or celebrate like everyone else does with food because of my smaller stomach. Just wondering if anyone else experiences this, I'm struggling and could use some support/insight.
