4 days post op - can I do this?

Feb 08, 2013

Its been a rough four days. A bit of pain from the surgery and overall general malaise - I expected this part. What I did not expect was how much I would be missing food already. It is really hard adjusting to liquids only and watching my son and husband have one of the most delightfully smelling chicken bbq ever! seriously, I just about died. I am beginning to question myself on the wisdom of going through with something so permanent. I feel like odd man out. Everyone else gets to eat normally, I dont. and its hard.

intellectually I know that I will eventually be able to eat food, hell, I am so very much looking forward to it already. Fantasizing about the great meat nachos I am going to make and EAT when I can. (yum yum)

Which is why I am also wondering if this is going to work for me. I mean, geez, I am already fantasizing about food. How I am I going to get better healthwise if I am already thinking of ways to sabatoge myself! Don't get me wrong, I have not and will not compromise my sleeve this early in the process..but...sigh....is giving up food worth this?

:(

on a good note, I am down 7 pounds from my original weight 4 pounds from surgery weight.
