I totally regret it. I lost 10 pounds in the 1st week, nothing since then. I miss food, I miss eating. I am at a notre dame football party & I want to have a good time, but I can't without food. I have some sort of roadblock to change..people say "oh I don't crave food" I still do. "oh I don't care about eating." I still do. I wish I never would have done this. Sleeved 12/20 and wish I was back where I started.

Last I checked I was allowed to state my opinion. Pretty sure its in the constitution. And if I didn't have time to read a convo I wouldn't be posting on it, especially to chew someone out for crap that's already been hashed out more than once. Thanks for trying to be my mother, though.

I was irritable and cranky a few weeks out, too! When you post on a public forum, you have to take the "bad" with the good.

Wow, this is just too much, good lord grow up. If you don't want people's opinions don't post. Period.

I'm changing the subject

" I love this surgery!"

Sorry to barge in but alley-gator did not start this bickering if you read entire threads. If you have not the time to read the threads I suggest you reframe from making judgements.

Peace and love to all of you.

I'm changing the subject

" I love this surgery!"

LMAO, well done! I don't think ally will see the funny side though.

Actually I do see the humor lol.

Maybe if we change the subject people can stop having knee jerk reactions to a thread that was posted as a rant when someone was having a bad day.

Mmmm....Greek food....

Love Greek food! Went to a Greek restaurant the other day and had half a quail and a fetta stuffed mushroom. It was so yum!

I've never heard of Greek food having quail! Of course, our Greek food is americanized lol not even real lamb. It's a mix of lamb & beef. I sure do love a good gyro with feta though!

Your not alone in "hating this" right now... im 15 days post op.. and today i had the JOY of sitting at buffalo wild wings and watching my family eat a huge lunch in front of me... i managed to do it without crying.. so i thought i got an A+. And no.. i didnt have an option other then sitting in the freezing cold car while they ate, we were on a family outting and i was stuck with it. Letting go of the desire to eat and the head cravings are really hard... this 2-3 week stage doenst help any either.. i feal fine.. im fighting with what i can and cant eat..the scale is stalling because im adding more calories back into my diet.... and i have NEVER done well with things i CANT have ... it has nothing to do with knowing what i was getting into or anything else.. i think its a normal part of the struggle for alot of us.

and before anyone says anything snarky to me... please remember that im POST op... emotional... fighting head hunger that is telling me i would LOVE large burger (weather i could eat it or not doesnt matter i still want it) hating nasty tasting protien whey... and probely PMS'ing.... and really just venting so Ally knows she isnt alone right now.... if you cant say anything helpfull... dont say anything at all.

I feel you! Being absent from some outings is okay on my life, but some I have to go to. They are filled with soda & food I loved post op. I might never think of those foods, but when they are in front of me I can't stop wanting them. It is so stinking hard!! But I am proud of you for sticking it out! Today we were at a basketball game, and even though I wanted greasy concession food & it smelled Yummy, I refrained. After I walked away, it wasn't as bad. My cravings have definitely gotten better since last week. We are close in sleeve dates, but I really feel like the week made a huge difference! Hang in there, we can do this!

I am waiting for the next week to be over... i even told myself im not going to step on the scale for a few days ( trying for a week but yeah.. that wont happen) if WE can push threw this we will be fine!

ps... today wasnt as hard as i thought it would be... even the waitress felt sorry for me.. but i walked out of it with a new drink... the sweet but very very verrrrrry thin waitress who felt sorry for me added a half of an orange to my iced tea.. OMG it was great!!!!! if your an iced tea person.. you gotta try it. she thought i might enjoy the fresh orange taste... and she was right!

OMG, I've been eating Greek food like crazy! Well, the meat anyway. lol

Because my Protein shake/ketosis breath isn't bad enough.

Quail is really popular in Greece and in Greek recipes and just the right size for sleevers. Does anyone have a special recipe?

Frustration is gotta be part of it all!! You got to give it time... This is not a hurry up deal. Give your body time to heal and give yourself a pat on your back! You can do this... call your dietician and physician for advice!! Good Luck.
