I HATE FOOD!!!
I just hate not being able to eat like I used to! It's not bad when it's not time to eat because I dont think about it at all, but when it's time and I have 3 little kiddos to feed, I get so aggravated! Today at lunch I wanted to eat SO bad like I used to- everything on my plate and then some, but of course I didnt. I'm almost jealous when everyone around me eats more than I do, I miss that!
Hope this passes soon!!!

I never look forward to eating anymore. Before I would be thinking about a meal hours before it was due. Sometimes during the previous meal. Now I never feel hungry and when I start thinking about eating it's more like OMG I'd better eat something or I won't get all of my protein in. I dread eating because I never know if what I eat is going to make my pouch angry. I'm surprised that such a tiny pouch can cause me so much pain. I too am surprised how little we actually need to eat and still have normal energy.
I feel the same way Celia. And sometimes when I watch my kids enjoying their food so much, I feel sorry for myself and I just want to cry because the 2 or 3 bites that I ate are stuck in my chest and we'll be out somewhere and I have to go to a public bathroom to deal with the "foamies" and the puking.
Of course afterwards I feel stupid for having been so weak and jallowed myself to feel sorry for myself because I DID, after all, want this surgery and I promised myself I would never regret it! I guess if I were a fast loser like some of the other people, it wouldn't bother me so much, but being a slow loser, it makes me kind of nuts!
It also makes me crazy to see my kids and the hubby eating what looks like 6 or 7 serving sizes!! I find it gross that everyone eats like pigs!
BUT if it's any consolation, I have a friend who is 2 years out and really enjoys food now! So it will pass...
