  1. So I did it! I have officially had the gastric sleeve and so far the results have been pretty good. I got the surgery on 1/13 and I weighed 316 pounds. As of today 1/19 I am down to 299. I've lost 17 pounds in 6 days. Talk about EXCITED ! 've NEVER lost that much weight in a month, let alone less than a week. So I have nothing but good things to say about the surgery. Body wise, I'm good. I honestly have had NO pain where the cuts were. Weird right? But yup absolutely none. I've had some really bad back pains but I've had those prior to the surgery and it was also explained to me that because I would be laying flat on the operating table that it can cause some extra back pain and boy did I feel it. I swear it hurts more than the surgery. Now those were the amazing PROS of it. Now here's the CON, and yes there's only 1. Now I haven't been physically hungry at all but MENTALLY I've been starving. I just want to chew something. Anything. I just want to put anything in my mouth and trust me when I tell you, it's driving me crazy. I'm miserable. Depressed. Anxious. Aggravated. Angry. Then when people around me eat, it drives me WILD. I wish there was something I could do to just ignore the feeling but from what I'm hearing, it's nothing possible but just trying to ignore it. Easier said than done though. That's for sure. I was considering going to a therapist for it but then I don't wanna feel like I'm over exaggerating. I've had crying spells where out of nowhere, I just break down crying because every other commercial there's some type of food in it. Or the fact that every time I close my eyes, I'm envisioning some type of food that I want to eat. I'm having cravings of foods I didn't eat in months almost a year. But it's something that I'm gonna have to learn to just deal with it. Take it one day at a time. Everybody around me keeps telling me that it's gonna be okay but they're not going through what I am. I guess I just need some words of encouragement from someone who's went through this already or has some tips to help me get through this.

    Post Op Hunger? Driving Me Insane ...

    Thanks you guys. I think I really am going to go see a therapist because I really don't feel like this is something I can fight on my own. And i never thought about that. Picturing myself at my goal weight. I think I'll try that the next time I'm having an episode
