Anyone from NJ

I had the sleeve done a couple days ago, and I feel like no one around me knows the pain I'm in. Sometimes I feel I won't accept my "new body" since I've been overweight basically since my adolescent. Probably just need to vent.

I am missing my comfort too ..... This is our withdrawal period during rehab. That's how I like to think of it.... In retrospect this will probably be the hardest part.

NYC here. Was sleeved 5/29/15. HW 350. How are you? I know how you feel along of the others here. I thought I would regret this surgery but after 6 months and seeing the results I had it was the best decision I ever made. I added a pic to share. Looking forward to hearing from you. post-244766-14580897858255_thumb.jpg

Wow you look amazing, so over time how has your diet changed? Are you still monitoring how much Protein you get in your daily diet?

Thank you [emoji4]. I pretty much able to eat anything thankfully but I watch what I eat and how much I eat of it. I make a lot of homemade chili with chicken and beans that will last me a few days but I usually freeze some for another time. Also eat a lot of egg whites. Most of the time I get a piece of chicken and potato. I kinds stick to the 4-6 oz range. Hope to talk again.

So I knew already getting into this journey it would be difficult with the food because I'm spanish and of course we love to eat unhealthy good lol. But I'm gonna stick to that 4-6 oz measurement...I think it'll help me out alot. Thanks

The first thing I stay away from is rice. I may have a spoon but definitely eat the seasoned beans lol. I sent you a message directly.
