Looking for emotional support....

I am about 8 weeks out and I have lost about 53 pounds. But the onething that I still struggle with is the emotional loss that I feel when I can't participate in "normal" activities with friends and co-workers. Today we had a pitch in and I was kind of excited. But after about 2 bites I felt like it was stuck and then I had to go spit for 30 minutes until it passed. So by the time I was done the pitch in was over and I felt so unsatisfied and so frustrated. Does this ever go away? Will I ever be able to eat with other people and feel "normal" and satisfied? Like tonight a bunch of people are going out after work to eat and drink and I told them I didn't want to go. My reason is because I am scared that I won't be able to eat or drink without feeling uncomfortable. Please help! Thanks. Denise open RNY 256/203/140
