And yes I know the losing weight and getting healthy but do you ever go back being normal again and enjoy food at least very small portions??

I am 1 month post op and stopped feeling desperate for food the day I got transitioned from liquids. Now I feel so full on my first couple ounces of Protein I have no craving that is stronger than my feeling stuffed. Make sure you're getting your antacid or it messes with hunger.

I am 2 years out from surgery but remember where you stand all too well... The thought of what the hell did I do to myself, once you are allowed other foods and they make you sick. My first meal was a scrambled egg white, could barely keep it down, and then I tried yogurt, no good either and all the while my mind was messing with me. Take a breath sip on some warm tea, or really cold tea, my sleeve loved very cold things and not warm things. Even today I can eat my food cold as if its too hot I only can heat a bite or two and I am over full! But go slow, I know this is not the magical answer you may crave but its all a mind game honestly. I stand 2 years out and still play with that devil of witch in my head called *head hunger*. It will pass and come again, its totally a mental game, right now your just learning how to cope, and work with your tool!

TAKE YOUR TIME!

YOU GOT THIS, ONE MINUTE AT A TIME IF NEED BE!

Yes, you do get semi back to normal then you worry your eating too much or grazing which is worse! This is a journey of CONSTANT LEARNING, I myself 2 years out still must relearn and reassure myself EVERYDAY!

Girl. Meee tooo. I'm having a hard day today. My family decided to make pork chops with all the trimmings. I know to indulge would tear me up but damn talk about temptation. I took my Protein shake and left the house for an hour and a half until the coast was clear cause I'm sure I looked like wild coyote. Things will get better soon.
