  9. Same here! 5 weeks post-op and only down 30lbs. I say only because I lost more following the Atkins diet pre surgery for a month. Maybe my expectations are too high.

  14. I've been sad, frustrated and starving since being sleeved on 09/25/14. I also feel that the fun part of my life is over. I never feel my best, always weak and just overall not happy. I continue to obsess about food (or lack there of) and feel that I made a mistake. I'm in constant prayer hoping things will get better.
  15. 11 days post op and I'm ALWAYS hungry. I just consumed tomato soup (6oz) and still hungry. Currently drinking water. I'm hopeful things will get better. I've been in a foul mood since surgery due to hunger but success stories keep me going.

  17. I just read your entire blog...from the beginning. It's amazing. Thank you. I'm 8 days post-op and so grateful to know what I'm feeling is normal (sadness, food withdrawal, emotional roller coaster). You inspire me. Thank you!
  18. Thanks so much! I'm totally feeling the same way about food. Lol. I've been drooling over the Food Network all day. I want to eat. This tomato soup is not cutting it. I move to soft food in TWO weeks!
  19. Sleeved 09/25/14. Honestly speaking, I feel like HELL. I've never been there but I'm sure this is close. I have no energy or motivation and just overall feel like crap. Barely getting my 40g of protein in and let's not talk about water. My family already saying "you're so sad" but how can I be happy when I feel miserable. I don't have the energy to walk. Please tell me I'm going to feel better soon. This was not the recovery I was hoping for....I was sooooo eager and happy for the surgery date to get here, but have been in the dumps every since.
  20. Sleeved 9/25/14. Having a very hard time getting my protein and fluids in...gas pain is the worst. Overall exhausted. This has to get better....
  21. GAS PAIN everywhere!!! Please help...sleeved 9/25. I've walked....several times. Exhausted at this point....
  22. Tomorrow is my big day. My emotions are all over the place!!!!
  23. My surgery is Thursday!!! ☺️☺️☺️
  24. Hi all!!!! Was at the hospital completing pre-admission testing alllll day. Down 8lbs; however totally ate too much today...ugh!!! I'll start over tomorrow and double my water intake.
