Most of the time I'm so happy about being sleeved. I feel fantastic, I'm starting to look hot, I feel more in control, etc.

But, once in a while I get sad that I can't go out and act like a normal 21 year old at a party. Mild occasional regrets. Anybody else experience this?

Just like quitting smoking...it will pass. Keep your mind on your health.....

What is it that you cant do like a normal 21 year old ???

I'm 47.... But I get you, there are moments where I wish I could have one day here and one day there back to normal so I can eat and drink like I used to...

But alas I would do that when I was on a diet before and lost a lot of weight. one day lead to another and another and another..

I feel like I am doing everything a 23 year old would do (besides drinking and eating)...at 8 days post op I went to a new kids on the block, boys 2 men and 98 degrees concert and dance and sang my heart out...just drank a lot of water.. ive been to the club at about 2 weeks post op and also drank water all night but had a blast. Our lives dont have to revolve around food or drinking. I'm 3 weeks post op today

Our health is more important. And hey, we're cheap dates now that most of us can't handle as much alcohol.
