Only three weeks post op, but I feel great! I know a lot of other folks are having a hard time adjusting to their new stomach, fortunately for me it's all been good. I was just given the go ahead to have purees, and I can already feel the restriction, if I get near or just over that 1/4 cup, it starts to hurt a little. But after almost three weeks of liquids, it feels and tastes so good to have real food again, do I still love the flavors of food? You bet I do, but now only a couple of spoonfuls are enough to satisfy my desire. Still have to learn how to live with this and handle all of life's challenges, but now I have a new tool to help me control using food as a stress reliever. I realize I'm only at the begining of this process and the sleeve and I have a lot more work to get to know one another, but I'm confident this is really going to be a partnership I can live with and finally enjoy a truly healthy life full of energy and fullfillment.

What a great attitude. I think it's wise to expect to have to deal with those little emotional eating demons. If you expect it, it's not as tough.
