You sound depressed. Talk to someone about it, like your PCP. Consider some counseling.
Basically you have two choices: accept the current situation, or change it. (remember, accepting something doesn't mean you have to like it.) This process requires a good chunk of patience, both before and after. Good Luck!

Reading this did a doozy on my taste buds. As I am 9 days in on liquid diet. I am sure I wont be able to make this for a long time but I am looking so forward to it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the update. You are very positive and that is the key. Keep giving us those post!

U should be proud of that control! That is good!

Our sleeve is a tool. We still have the demons inside our head to fight with. Don't dwell on relapses.....just start out with a fresh attitude of making good choices. Good luck

Before the sleeve, I constantly craved sweets, now, nothing! Occasionally, now my head will remember and I have decided that it has to be something of really good quality, i.e., homemade, fabulous, etc. I absolutely refuse to eat anything that is just so so anymore. Today, at the elementary school where I work, there were sweets everywhere for the Valentine's parties going on. The only thing I ate was a mini homemade red velvet cupcake and it was the perfect size, 3 bites and I was completely satisfied. Before my sleeve, I could have eaten 6 mini cupcakes and not be satisfied what so ever!
The things I really miss are bread products, but it is just not worth the problems that I have experienced with bread. Hopefully one day I will be able to enjoy a small piece of a great bagel again.
