You will feel much better soon, I promise. I am almost 4 weeks post op and I have dropped 4 jeans sizes, feel better than I have in years and am eating "applesauce consistency" foods per my surgeon's instructions. This has included potato Soup, black bean soup topped with fat free sour cream & guacamole, and other foods I enjoy. Don't be depressed, look at this time as your golden moment to lose the most weight in the quickest amount of time. These feelings are temporary & before you know it you will feel more like yourself, just thinner!

I know exactly how you feel because I felt the same way. At least part of your depression and doubt is the result of having gone through major surgery. I'm a little over 3 months out and I'm feeling much better as my ability to eat increases. I can now eat more now as my stomach heals and it's much more like a meal than right after surgery. I went through a serious self-doubt period, too, but I realized I had no options other than to either make the best of it or let it defeat me emotionally. I chose the former and I felt much better since I came to grips with my decision. The bottom line is that I am now only about 25 pounds from my goal and I couldn't be happier about my decision to do whatever it took to be "normal." You WILL get though this and what you are experiencing is so common among so many sleevers. Best of luck on your journey!

Hi ladies... I am 6 months out today. Please, don't feel like you're missing out on anything. I was on my liquid diet through Christmas and New Years.. I survived and can eat anything I want today, in small portions and Protein first, but there isn't one thing that I can't eat. Remember to sip, sip, sip keep the protein going all day. Walk as much as you can it all helps with digestion and gas at the beginning. I have lost 53 pounds and have about 20 more to go. This is absolutely the best gift I've ever given myself. I am a 100% advocate, then again, I've never had a single remorseful day or any complications. I have never missed a Vitamin nor have I ever had a day that I didn't get my protein requirements. I am just starting to lose some hair, actually more than I ever thought I would. I am sure it will come back thicker than ever. Life is better and you'll be on the losers bench soon. Nothing feels better than weight loss.

I am 4 days out of surgery and feeling a bit depressed. I am not really hungry but I feel like I am missing out on something. I drink my Water, Protein Shakes and juices but will I ever be able to eat again? Did anyone else feel like this?
