Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to feel the same way I did before the surgery? I'm currently on week 3 post op and I'm learning portion control, I'm just a little concerned that I will forever have the stomach pains every time I eat something new or something that disagrees with my new tummy.

Sorry I'm having a little depression moment :,(

I have to say...I really had my doubts I'd feel normal again.

Here's a little of my journey. Day after surgery the leak test revealed I had a sleeve that was swollen shut in 2 places. Had a steroid shot and they didnt seem to be bothered anymore by it.

Weekd passed and dense meats made me vomit. At 10 weeks post op I could only eat 2oz at a time.

I went in for my 3 month check up and was told I had a slight stricture. Its why I had felt like crap most of the time...which was due to not being able to consume much. I was weak, walking across my living room would make me darn near pass out.

I'm now 14 weeks and thanks to double dose of prilosec, I'm now able to truely eat.

dinner for the last week has been an amazing salad. I've now been able to have more than 400 calories per day. Im averaging 800-900! I feel amazing now. Took me 14 weeks. I do not get light headed, my stamina is slowly returning. I'm taking a Water jogging class and using the elliptical! The last 4 days in a row, I've consistently hit 72oz of propel zero per day.

I didn't think I'd ever feel normal again. But here I am. I do. Love my sleeve.

Love the support this community has given me!
