Sleeved life is so different

I knew it would be different, but wow!

I had surgery on 10/31.  I also had my gall bladder removed and a hernia repair.  My recovery sucked.  I was in the hospital for 4 days due to extreme nausea.  Finally was able to keep a few ounces down and they let me go home. 

For the first couple of weeks I regretted surgery big time even as the weight fell off.  I still have days where I question my decision.  It's hard not to be able to eat what others are eating or what I really am craving.  I don't do what I should all the time, but I do try.

I have lost, as of today, 38 pounds since surgery day.  The first couple of weeks the weight just fell off like crazy.  It's slowed down a lot and I have already had a couple of week long stalls.

I hate protein shakes, but can't tolerate much else in the mornings or else I throw up.  I still eat too much sometimes or too quickly and throw up.  I don't get in enough water/liquids.  It's just all so new.

But, I'm trying each day!
