you could be still feeling sickly from the drugs - don't be afraid to ask for some gravol...

Thanks Dani  :))

First of all - 46lbs!!  HOLEY MOLEY!!!  :)))))  Congrats!!  Don't get too attached to those size 20 pants, 'cause they won't fit you for long!!

I could eat about the same amount that you can that far out and then I would get a pain under my breastbone which I soon realized was my full signal (and or hiccups) - it can be so sudden that it's a little startling!  I had a pain every time I was full for the first month or two (don't be worried if you haven't been sleeved yet, it's not really a big deal after you realize what it is & it's not that bad - and that feeling changed around the 3rd month!)  anyway, I could only eat a spoonful or two & that was it - it did actually help me to use the little silverware - I still do, actually.  Anyway, I can eat 2 - 4 oz of dense protein at a meal now (depending on the day - sometimes I'm hungry, sometimes not so much) and I would love to have that major restriction back - boy oh boy the weight fell off - just breathing made it melt away - so try to enjoy this magical time!! lol  Don't get me wrong, it still comes of pretty fast over all, but nothing like those first couple of months  :))  Sooo, my advice is to just go slow and keep in mind that the discomfort and the major restriction you are feeling now and the new 'full' feeling will all change in a couple of months, so just try to take it day by day & hang in there.  Jeff had the same issues - I think most of us do!

The mental part has changed for me too - don't get me wrong, I still LOVE food, but now my perception of what 'a lot' is has changed drastically - as has my idea of 'cheating'!  Sometimes I think I have been eating all day (because I do still have hungry days) and when I look at my food log I am at around 800 calories - and I'm thinking WTH I haven't stopped eating!!  lol 

Keep talking about what's bothering/concerning you - for me this forum was a life saver!  Congrats on your success so far!!
