    Alright, before this gets any more hostile... I have come to this forum for advice many times before and there are some great people that offer great knowledge without passing judgement.

    I'm this case, I came here worried about not feeling full when I realized I had ate a lot more than I had ate in over 2 months. This was while having dinner and preparing my lecture for class for tomorrow morning.

    So it is my fault that I asked the question I already knew the answer for. What I should have asked is why I was able to even consume this meal without realizing I was more than full.

    But In my opinion, the answer I received seemed of the shaming nature. This is my opinion, you do not have to agree. I am strongly against shaming of any form, especially on public forums. We are all here for advice and to learn. There are ways to give advice without sounding completely negative.

    Yes I ate to much this time, but no that does not mean that I do not know the guidelines, or know about grazing, or not have a diet plan. I am not saying that I know it all, there was a reason for asking.

    Best,

    Sanju

    I'm 2 months out and can eat subs also. I do the same as you and eat half the 6 inch then wait a couple hours and eat the rest. My surgery book does not say I can't have bread. It just says to restrict it. I just feel like I eat a little less then a normal person but not even close to the amount of food I used to consume. I am still losing weight but it is a slower weight loss. Without the surgery I would of lost nothing and probably just gained so I will take this way over just gaining tons of weight. In my opinion I would go insane if I had to be cut off everything I enjoy. I believe my problem was Portion Control and I have a addiction to sweets that is alot more manageable with the sleeve because I am eating one cookie compared to 10. I think if you are eating low enough of calories to lose weight and getting ur Protein and Water in you are doing good. I'm not a doctor but a all Protein diet is way to strict for me so I'm a little more different. I know people wouldn't agree with me but it's the only way I stay sane. Good luck with your weight loss. I have lost 35 pounds so far and feel better physically but still working on the mental part ????

    I am also 22 and had gastric sleeve on April 5th. I actually posted concerns like this on here about a month ago but have had not one complication since my surgery. The only thing that happened after was I threw up from all the pain meds and anaistesia. I don't do well with pain meds. I will be straight honest with you that it will be a very big challenge for you in the beginning but I am 3 months out and struggled terribly in after but am now doing better and do not regret my decision. I did horribly the first couple months but I truly know I would of ate myself to death if I did not choose this option. The struggle is all mental and I still deal with anxiety and depression but I have always had it but masked it with food. I am now forced to face my demons head on and not hide behind food but I feel like that I really did need that. I have lost 35 pounds so far and already have so much more energy and no pain in my back and neck. It will be scary at first but I promise you will make it through. 4 members of my family had gastric bypass and are 10 years out with no complications. If you ever need someone to talk to you can message me ❤

    Dr. Pop did my husband's and my surgery and I assure you, that team did not let you down as far as preparation. They are all wonderful. I had some regrets in the hospital, but when I started seeing the scales go down, I have never looked back. Life is so great now, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity. Hang in there-it really does get better. I am really jealous that you got it done so young. I would have had so many more opportunities. Take care, Melissa

    Dr. Pop did do a good job and I have had no complications but it sucks they are so darn hard to get ahold of ???? How far along are you Melissa? Maybe we could motivate each other or be workout buddies if you live close to me lol im about 45 min from Barix clinics

    Its been two weeks and still the same weight. Actually gained 2 pounds. I'm pretty sure I'm getting in all my fluids but my Protein might not be up to par. I have been eating some carbs so maybe that would be the reason? Its really hard for me because my mom is always yelling at me telling me I'm not doing enough and not eating good but I've only been eating like 1000 calories a day. Idk if that's to much for a month and a half out. She had gastric bypass so i keep trying to explain to her that bypass people tend to lose faster then sleeve patients. She doesn't listen though. I really do want to to lose more weight but this is really frustrating me ????

    *i have been battling anxiety, depression and taking antidepressants after this surgery and the only thing that has really helped me to get through is my family, friends and keeping a positive attitude. I feel like I've been through hell and back but as long as I have them and god if you are religious i start to break free from the suffocation and fear of change i fight with anxiety. If you ever ever want to email me and talk my email is catherinebeck20@gmail.com

    Its been a month and 3 days since my sleeve surgery and im really lost on what to do anymore..im taking antidepressants so idk if this has to do with it but i just feel like I dont care about anything anymore. I dont really have any emotions and all food tastes terrible. I get no joy out of food anymore and i feel like its only getting worse. All i really want to do is lay in bed all day so i don't have to face eating stuff that sucks anyway. All my friends and bf say I have become heartless. Has anyone gone through this or is this just my own mental problem?

    Thanks everyone.it is getting easier to eat and drink and my nurse practitioner eased my anxiety alot.he sat down and talked to me and he also had the same surgery so he understands. I know im being to poor me right now and i know i need to be stronger. I guess ive never had to do something this hard which does make sound spoiled and selfish i know. ????

    So i am 22 years old almost 23 and had the gastric sleeve done on april 5. I have had the hardest time with this surgery battling severe anxiety and depression. Im 3 weeks out and feel i made a terrible mistake. Is anyone around my age afraid of the long term consequences of this surgery? I think about it everyday and my anxiety gets so horrible. I see a pysch but i think I really need a friend my age who has been through this. I would appreciate it so much
