I think what you're feeling is perfectly normal. There have been times, even newly post-op, where I thought, "What did I do to myself?" Those feelings subsided after the first 6 months or so and at 2.5 years out, I don't have them any more.
You can always get support here. Your local hospital may have a support group (even if you didn't get surgery there). You are not alone.
Here's what I know 2.5 years out - my life is so much better. I do not regret this decision at all - there were times when I was having an emotional moment that I wished I could sit down to a big bowl of Pasta and go to town. There were times I wanted to eat an entire baguette of bread. There were times I wanted chocolate cake. But my sleeve was there for me - it didn't allow me to sabotage myself.
My new normal is splitting a meal with my husband. Eating a hamburger without the bun. I still drink Protein shakes. But, I also allow some treats - a small bowl of ice cream, a cookie, a muffin, etc. But I don't crave them like I used to. I'm OK with my new normal.
Hang in there, kid. You're going to be on an emotional roller coaster for the foreseeable future. It's going to be hard. Keep your eye on the prize, though. It will be so worth it!

Starting weight was 240 , day of op (on 3/28) I was 233, a week and a half ago i was 218 for nearly 2 weeks, and this morning the scale went down to 217. I have been struggling with the stall too. These forums have helped me sooooo much in letting me know it is normal, and to just keep on doing what your doing, and eventually your body will catch up. The worst thing to do is get discouraged, try to stay positive! Positivity is a lifesaver.

I had my surgery on 3-22-16. The first few days I was tired but then I started to get better. Now I'm 3weeks post-op and looking forward to getting back into the gym. I told my doc that I didn't want to rush back to work so I'm going back on 4-18 instead of the week after surgery. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

My sleeve was also done on the 28th. My tummy is painful but manageable. I'm a side sleeper and it's almost impossible to sleep any other way than my back. The pain gets a little better each day, I think I'll feel much better when my Dr removes the drain on Thursday. Im sipping all the time but I don't feel like I'm getting enough in. I'm confused if it's spasms or fullness that I feel. I have learned that cold liquids don't feel so great going down.

Don't back out. I was scared I was sleeved March 17 and the morning of I cried all the way up until they gave me something to calm my nerves. The nurses told me most people give the same reaction. I remember when I woke up from surgery thinking IM SO HAPPY I WENT THROUGH WITH IT. Like they say each day gets better. I'm happy I did it.

I just buy the Premier Protein shakes from costco or Sams club. They are really good and have 30 g Protein for each one. No mixing or mess making. Just shake and drink. They are more expensive at other places though.
What pre made ones were you using?
