Okay so I was freaking a bit from restriction. I was thinking that maybe I didn't have surgery(silly I know) but today I know I have! Lol

I was driving to the gym and getting in a snack and started to get that pressure on my chest.

Well I figured I could get in one more bite and I instantly regretted it. I had to pull over to vomit and after a few minutes I felt way better.

Lesson learned.

I did the same thing when I moved from liquids to mushies. I also felt like my sleeve wasn't small enough because the post-op liquids still went through rather quickly. I wasn't really hungry, but the 'full' feeling went away pretty fast after having a Protein shake.

But once I got to mushies...whole new world! I also ended up with the slimes at least 2-3 times a week the first couple weeks. Now it happens every few weeks, but it's still an ongoing learning experience.

Then once I was on solids...wowza...the need to chew is very real with the sleeve on solids; otherwise, I fill up with just a few bites. I do weigh my food because I know what my maximum is at this point (about 4.5 oz) and I still eat rather fast, so it helps to keep my portions in check.

I also know which foods tend to fill me up faster, like turkey and tuna, so I do only about 4 oz total with those.
