    Hi. I read your post in a group that I'm not in. I too used to have 3 boys at home and all the athletic adventures that came with them. What a lot of moms did was walk around the football field area during their practices. You're there anyway and there's already exercise going on. Form a group and have some fun at the same time.

    Hey there.

    Are you still frustrated with you apparent lack of feedback from your sleeve? You had posted that you felt that the doc only removed 25% instead of 85%. I just wanted to tell you that I felt the same way, especially on soft foods and even on solids that I chewed the bejeezus out of. But around week 8 I started to feel something while eating, not pain or even fullness, it's a new sort of feeling..like my stomach is making it's presence known in a non-full feeling sort of way. It's like going from "I can't feel my stomach at all" to "something is there...it's not painful but it's there."

    That mild sensation is easy to miss when eating. I actually had to put the fork down between bites and concentrate on what I felt. Eventually it got easier to notice. Maybe that will help you too. I dunno...everyone is different. But I can imagine your frustration and feeling of disappointment and no one should have to go through a sleeve gastrectomy and feel like it didn't' work for them.

    Hang in there!
