Hi!! I am going through something similar. My surgery was May 22nd. I lost 15lbs pre-op and 9lbs post-op. I really thought after 3+ weeks I would be doing better. I've been a mess, really depressed and just feeling all kinds of out of sorts emotionally. I am averaging about 400 to 700 cal a day and 60 to 80 grams of Protein. I dont even want to get out of bed in the morning and I feel like a total failure.

Child, BREATHE! Relax...it's okay.
First...DON'T HATE YOU! God created you and he don't make no junk!
Second... Think about before you were sleeved...if that's what you ate in one day, you'd be like "Dang, I hardly ate today!" It's okay. Nobody expects you to be perfectly strict with yourself to where your living like an obsessed maniac (and the repetitive negative self speak and inner monologue is our red flag). So now, just stop and breathe and remember;
1- your NOT on a diet- you are living a healthy lifestyle complete with healthy eating choices and a realistic and healthy self image.
2- you are making progress and growing. Anything that's not growing is dead. Your fully alive, which means sometimes your going to put things in your mouth you may regret later...and that's okay! You will continue to do your best to do #1.
3- The sleeve is only a tool. You also have exercise, prayer and meditation, supportive community (VST!), and mostly ENOUGH LOVE FOR YOUR LIFE THAT YOU DID SOMETHING SO THAT YOU COULD LIVE IT IN A QUALITY MANNER...
So no more hating out of you, young lady!
