I completely understand! I was just telling someone the other day that I was kinda depressed about missing food. When you think about it, it makes sense. We had to give up an "essential" part of our existence and now it's gone, it's kind of like a death in the family which is why we mourn it sometimes. I don't regret getting the surgery at all, so don't get me wrong, but there are definite days when my mind is screaming, "ohhh, lets go out to lunch and get a hamburger" and then I snap back to reality and eat my Soup instead. Keep up the good work!

I'm having a little pain from the gas but I've been walking laps as soon as I could! I imagine it will just get better from here on out! I wanted this so bad so I think that my optimism is knocking out the pain. I knew this was for me when I was willing to put myself on national television this summer when I tried out for the Biggest Loser. I thought, yep. I'm ready for big change.

Finally! Surgery done! Went great and so excited!

Has anybody noticed how it is taking forever for September to get here?

Sept 9!???? So excited, but doesn't seem real! I didn't want my body to freak out about the post-op liquid diet so I went ahead and started drinking shakes for Breakfast this month and will add lunch next month before going to straight liquids!

I came across your post and wanted to offer my thoughts. I am a therapist and getting the sleeve done as well, so I feel like I might be able to speak to your issue. The journey that we take is life changing, no doubt. While on this journey, issues may surface that feel like they are coming out of nowhere. I strongly recommend that you seek professional assistance to address new attitudes, new relationships, and the process of "grieving" our old relationships with others and our old selves. Whatever plan of care your therapist offers you, including talk therapy and medication, I urge you to consider if it's right for you. Please keep in mind that these forums can be so helpful and supportive, however, the best feedback usually comes from a professional who has taken the time to get to know you!
