    Ok I'm glad that I'm not the only one in the world. I was really beating myself up about it and have just been in the worst mood. It's such a horrible feeling to be going through this ;( I hope we pass it too. I feel like I'm cheating myself and it's really getting to me but I don't know why I just don't put it (food) down.. Ugh

    K. I've been highly depressed lately and have been slacking. I was sleeved on jan 14th. I haven't lost in 3 weeks. I was doing so well then got depressed and just been "tasting" way too much. I also work at Starbucks and got my coffee addiction back. Has anyone gone/going through this? If so what have/are you doing to get back on track? Thanks

    Wow- sounds like you have a crazy schedule!!! Even eating 700-900 calories per day it is real common to hit plateaus as our bodies are getting used to all the weight loss. I burn from 400-600 calories per day exercising but have been at a plateau since January. But back when I was losing- I was losing two to three pounds per week for three weeks' date=' then I would plateau for a week or two then start losing again.

    chips are my guilty pleasure. Do you have a favorite?[/quote']

    Oh boy it's way too crazy! Lol. Good to know that if isn't just me. Yes I do munch but I definitely don't over do the calorie intake (more than 1000 on a really bad day) that sounds like a good amount of calories to burn. Basically half of your intake. I'm going to have to start going to the gym on a regular basis even if it's just for an hour. Someone told me that the best way for me to work out and eat is to burn all the calories I've eaten, freaked me out a bit but thinking about it 400-600 is at least half. chips are so dangerous for me now lol I don't know why but I don't have a favorite just the craving of Cheetos :/. I eat a serving a day which is terrible but it's really a craving I haven't been able to cut for about 2 weeks. Before the Cheetos it was the hot Cheetos for about a week. I even went to the Walgreens down the street late at night for these chips. I don't get where it's coming from.

    First of all' date=' congratulations!

    Have you discussed this at all with your NUT? If you have access to one, I would do so - he or she has likely heard it all before and can give you a plan to get back on track, and would probably also be your best bet for how many calories you should be eating.

    If you don't have a NUT, then you might want to think about doing 3 meals with 1-2 PLANNED Snacks to keep you from grazing mindlessly. It seems to me that most people are still running 700-900 calories a day at 3 months, but I'm sure that others will chime in and talk from a personal perspective. Beyond that, back to basics - Protein first, then produce. Avoid simple carbs (i.e., sugar, white breads, etc). Get at least 60 grams of Protein a day - it keeps you fuller longer. Don't forget to drink Water - you might try some Water first if you feel like an unplanned snack and it might help keep you from mindlessly grabbing that snack.

    Best of luck - you'll get back on track![/quote']

    Hi! Thank you! I actually just contacted my nutritionist in Saturday and I'm waiting for her to get back to me tomorrow. I have a huge list of questions to ask her. This whole eating thing is so stressful to me. How do you get in all your protein without all of the calories? Water does work for fulfillment as well but I feel like when I have "time" all I think about is food (I don't eat everything in sight) the thoughts make me feel just as guilty as I would feel had I eaten them. Sorry I guess I'm just venting LOL. Thanks for your suggestions! I'm going to have to adjust quite a bit on my meal planning. Thanks!

    Aww thanks so much for your response! I haven't really been tracking calories but I'd say they're anywhere between 700-900 and it's hard to find time for the gym. I have 2 kids work full time and go to school full time by all means that shouldn't be an excuse but it's really draining and most of my days are from 4am-11pm (if I'm lucky) I've been having this crazy craving for Cheetos which is weird because I've never eaten them before. I was never a chip person and now I crave them, I don't get it. How many calories do you burn at the gym? What do you do at the gym? How many pounds a week are you losing? Sorry for the questions but everyone in my family is thin and they just don't get what I'm going through..

    I don't know what's going on with me but lately ive been snacking way too much I don't know how to eat. It's depressing me. I haven't really lost any weight In about 3 weeks and I don't know where to start to get back on track. I feel like when I eat, I don't know when I'm full until I'm full... How many calories should I be at? I am 3 months out and have lost 56 pounds... Please help

    Thanks! Yours will end soon too!

    I find it so hard to drink any kind of liquids because of the whole not drinking 30 minutes before and after a meal. I get scared I'm going to stretch my sleeve so soon. My drs have really freaked me out about everything and that's why I use this app as a resource. Thanks guys! For the support and responses :)

    I feel very depressed and cry a lot too! I did some research and it's called post surgical depression. A lot of people have this after surgery kinda like when you get post pardum and/or that's your reaction to the anestesia. That's what I've researched and my depression is actually just as bad as my post pardum. Good luck to you and pray that it gets better. I do things to distract myself that usually works.

    I'm two weeks post op (Monday) and I still have meds to take for the h pylori bacteria (I think that's how it's spelled). I haven't been taking them as regularly because I have to crush them and open the capsule and take the powder. I need suggestions. I've contacted the dr just about every day since I've gotten my meds and they say I have to suck it up. Has anyone had this problem? Did you take the pill whole and felt fine after?
