I am now 10 days post op and made it through the Christmas holiday without any problems. According to the scale I have lost 8 pounds since my surgery which I am pretty happy about. I have noticed that I am pretty emotional and I am thinking that since I don't have food to lean on if that is why I am expressing myself to my husband. My husband has a drinking problem and recently has gotten worse. I guess in the past, I would probably just grab food to "self-medicate" but now that's not an option. Instead I have been very verbal in my discontent with his problem draining the life out of me. I believe with my decision to have this surgery I have made a huge step in finally doing something for myself instead of taking the backseat to everyone else. I'm just not willing to sacrifice anymore. I am taking back my life. Sorry for the rant but it definitely helps to have fellow sleevers to chat with. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Come here instead of food. That's a tough problem, the drinking. I hope brighter days ahead for you. Hugs.

    I know what you mean. Since having the surgery on the 9th I have been craving cigarettes a lot. Being that I recently quit that wouldn't seem uncommon but, now that I don't have food or cigarettes what do I have? I took a puff off my brother's cigarette and I thought I was going to throw up! There's that. I guess I just have to look forward to a new healthier me!!
