Well Well Well. I have been sleeved for 5 days. It took over a year for me to finally get here and yet I feel like there was not any real way for me to completely mentaly prepare for this stage of my journey. I had my liquid diet preop and am on my liquid diet now post op but it is hard for me to recognize if I am having hunger pains or insicional pains.
I am regretting not buying Unjury unflavored protein powder because I am so tired of sweet protein shakes and would not mind drinking something that is good but also high in protein.
Last night I attempted to nibble on a piece of fish after I had already drank half of my protein shake and I made myself vomit. Lesson learned.. stick to what is on the list and enjoy food stage. I now recognize my unhealthy relationship with food. I would eat when I was stressed, when I was sad, when I was happy, when I was mad. Now I will just be eating so I can live...isn't that the purpose anyway?

    I wish you good luck, it is hard to drink protein drinks after surgery, I went to puree a little early I must admit, but I ate really really slowly.
