    Depression?

    I'm 7 months out and I am starting to feel the same way. I have no desire to eat or be active lately. I've been forcing myself to get my protein in but regardless I can't seem to shake this feeling.

    Weight loss taught me...

    I'm 7 months out and I agree. Sometimes it's just hard to not munch on unhealthy things. I have a snack bar at work that is really trying my patience. I am sticking to it though because nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Stick to it guys we can do this! I'm down almost 93lbs since 8/22/14 sleeve date !

    Just curious...

    I'm 7 months out and I vomit when I eat too fast. It's not really like anything comes out but I just constantly gag and attempt to throw up. Very crappy feeing

    NYC Sleeve support?

    Hey Christian, I'm in northern NJ but would be down to be a support buddy. I had my Sleeve Aug 2014 and am a bit stressed out. I'm new to this forum so Private Message me and I'll send you my number.
  9. I'm 2 weeks post op as well and I've been cheating too! I have very very small portions of tuna, soup, beans, yogurt , pickles. I'm probably not getting the needed protein but I hate the shakes. Don't beat yourself up everyone caves once In a while. Think long term though it's important to remember how you'll feel when your thin

    Sleeved and not felt "full"

    I feel your pain! I was sleeved aug 22nd and I've been cheating a bit and eating eggs and tuna but I'm always hungry. I try to tell myself that food is fuel but that doesn't always help! I hear it gets better so I'm trying to do my best to limit myself.
  11. Hey Guys, I was sleeved Aug 22nd and was curious if everyone is following their NUT plan to the T. I'm having a hard time with the Soups and broths, and have been eating some mashed potatoes and some eggs and cheese sticks. I do chew it like a million times before swallowing , my stomach seems to be alright. I'm losing weight which is awesome (down 19lbs since Aug22nd) but I want to be sure I'm not screwing this process up. Thanks in advance everyone!
  12. I'm about a week out and I still get those pains when I drink too fast. Try taking smaller sips perhaps that will help. As far as feeling shitty, I'm right there with you. I had doubts about this surgery almost every day after my surgery. When you start to lose a few pounds go buy a shirt thats one size smaller then you normally wear. Wear that and Bam you'll see why we signed up for this crazy stuff in the first place. I wore a shirt that hasn't fit me for over a year and it was a bit snug but I was able to feel good in it. I read something here on the forums that I think about every time I pass a fatburger or something smells awesome . I wrote it below, hope it encourages you. Head up! We are going to make it.

    Does anyone regret it?

    My doctor said I needed the Protein shake and I was okay with it. I'm heading out to buy some solid food I can purée in my ninja mixer. I'm going to also try some Beans mashed up. I need to find a way to deal with this lack of protein. I will def be ordering the I flavored UNjury brand as you suggested. I've been going crazy with Water. I love water. I just can't hold anything else. Even tried the Isopure drinks and just can't keep them down. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I truly am blessed this support system exists. =]

    Does anyone regret it?

    Hey guys , I'm actually 5 days post op and man do I regret doing this. I feel like I'm never going to be able to eat anything again. I'm not taking my Protein shakes because I keep getting severe nauseousness. I need some help. I live alone and it's been tough. I've also had to go back to work as I manage a department and my job basically forced me back. I'm so frustrated. Any ideas suggestions on how else I can get my protein in? I'm 25 and my doctor said I'm healing at a great rate. I just feel like shit. All day. Help. Thank goodness for these forums. It's already been very helpful. Just still down in the gutter.

    Looking for 7/22/14 surgery buddy

    I will look into the SF Popsicle or maybe the Unjury brand of protein to mix things up. I absolutely love this place , I joined tonight and its motivating to see that I'm not alone in this. Thanks for your response! I'm going to keep my head up and kick my weights ass. In the future I'm telling myself I'll be able to eat whatever I want just in much much smaller portions. The point is to be full right? Just wish my mind would catch up with my body already.

    Had my Sleeve Aug 20, 2014

    I didn't think it would move that fast either but I work with Doctors for my job and knew the right people to see for the "checklist" they give you. I saw all the doctors and still through insurance would delay or stall, especially since I didn't have a main doctor so I wrote my own letter. Regardless I'm hoping this gets better because man do I miss the food. I think my mind has to catch up with my body at this point.

    Had my Sleeve Aug 20, 2014

    I'm right there with you man, I'm second guessing myself very much. I really am feeling sad / depressed about that fact that I won't be able to really eat much at all anymore. I know that this is the norm for people with the Sleeve but man do I wish I could have a chipotle burrito right now or some fries from BK. I'm hoping to make better health choices for food but man am I hating the world right now. From what everyone says if we stick to it and take it slow, it'll be very worth it. I had this surgery suggested July and by Aug 22nd I had been sleeved. Insurance covered it and I didn't really think it would happen this fast. But hey I had the surgery and now I'm here. I still kind of feel hungry but I think its mental hunger. We can't undo what we did, we just have to look forward man. We will get through this ! Think of how awesome we are going to feel and look when we are closer towards our goal weight. Keep me posted , I'm feeling the same way so if you need to talk man let me know.
  20. Good Luck ! I had mine Aug 22nd and I still feel eh but it was very worth it. I know its going to be awesome in the long run

    Looking for 7/22/14 surgery buddy

    Yea sorry I'm new to the forum but as far as protein, I've been trying to have whey protein with some nonfat organic milk. I think my body is maybe in shock? I didn't get any pepto but I don't feel heartburn. I just feel the hunger feeling, like i'm not full. I've been forcing myself to drink water as my doc said that was crucial at these stages of my surgery. I'm just frustrated =( and hungry =((

    Looking for 7/22/14 surgery buddy

    Hey guys, Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I had my sleeve surgery Aug 22nd 2014 and i'm now doing the full liquid diet. I am SO HUNGRY. Can someone tell me what they do to starve off the hunger ? I know i need to get use to this feeling but I can barely keep down water and soup, why can't I stop craving the foods I used to have? I'm dying for some chipotle but I know I can't even eat solids right now. Hope you guys can help, I really want to get through this part!
  23. I had my surgery on Friday and I really don't feel well. I still feel hungry, I am currently sipping on organic tomato Soup as well as some Jello here and there. Does this get any easier? I mean , I am losing some weight (down 10lbs) but I'm really craving the food. I thought that this was supposed to get rid of the hunger. I also had a Hernia that they removed / repaired but like I said I'm still feeling hungry. I can't really drink too much Water or Protein or the soup. I'm going nuts here, any suggestions?
