I would give anything to be able to eat ANYTHING!

I plan on calling my surgeon first thing tomorrow, but unless it's plain water everything else comes back up! I'm really not even that hungry, but I do struggle with the fact that I can't eat how I used to. I got the sleeve as a tool that would keep my portions under control, but to literally eat NOTHING starts to wear you down. I feel weak and light headed all the time. I know the beginning is hard (I'll be 8 weeks on Wednesday) but I wasn't expecting or prepared for anything like this. I'm crabby and feel depressed all the time. My surgeon did an endoscopy on Thursday and found a stricture. He did a dilation of my esophagus and other than a sore throat I felt better on Friday. But by Saturday it felt the same way as before and I've been unable to eat for 2 days now. I wanted to lose weight, but not by literally starving myself! I feel miserable!
