Thank you everyone! I am so thankful for the kind words. "This too shall pass"!

It has been one year and I have lost 111 pounds! Just wanted to share my before and in progress pic! Still have a few more pounds to lose, but I am almost there!

I am 14 months post op. I am tall and can definitely eat like a normal person. I generally eat 1800 calories and have since about 8 months post op. For Breakfast, I can eat an egg mcmuffin (minus the top bun) and a hash brown with no issue. I can eat most of a six ounce steak and about half of the sides. I can eat a small cheeseburger and a small French fry. I never appear "odd" or "out of place" in a restaurant. Actually, I was much more odd back when I ate an appetizer, salad, huge entree and dessert.
Granted, there are times I wish I could eat more and even joke with my husband that "I wish I had my old stomach for this meal" but it's something I can acknowledge as a result of my former food addiction with a smile and shake of my head. I do not regret my decision. Rather, I'm thankful that I finally have an effective tool to stop that self-destructive behavior.
This is merely my experience. Best of luck in your decision.

Yes I agree that it could be hormones, but with me it was also trying to find a new way to cope with stress. I was/am a stress eater. I stuff all my emotions and when the sleeve took that away from me, it was a HUGE adjustment. I was cranky and moody and confused. I am still learning and I am going to therapy to deal with the emotions. I have no words of wisdom except to remember to breathe! Hang in there!

As my 9 month anniversary approaches, May 2nd, I have reached my first major goal! I have lost 100 pounds! I started at 331 and I am now 231! I have just come off a 4 week stall and the scale has started to move again! Next goal, enter onderland...can't wait to weigh 199#, then my final goal of 150#. Now that the scale has started to move again, I feel that anything is possible! Blessings to all!

Congrats! I also officially hit the 100lb mark today... the sleeve has saved my life.

Awesome! I just hit 100 lbs lost as well. Isn't it amazing!
