adjusting MENTALLY and EMOTIONALLY to my smaller stomach size & new way of eating.

it did a real mental job on my when i first started eating and 1 tablespoon of refried beans made me physically feel like i'd gorged on a thanksgiving meal.  i mean, that's crazy.

it did a rea emotional job on me the first time i went out to eat with my family (who always eats at all u can eat buffets) after my surgery.  i finally had to stop going w/ them to most of the places they go because i dont eat in that way anymore.  so if they wanna eat with me, they go somewhere that serves healthy options for me.

Psychological adjustments. Things like people treating you differently for no reason than you are smaller. Enjoying being treated differently and yet angry about it. Adjusting to your new life style.

All the changes are great, there's just a lot of it!
