Stalling, mental health struggles, addiction
Walter.Sobchak replied to TheWrensJourney's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am a food addict as well and can relate. I am also a recovering alcoholic and suffer from Major Depressive Disorder. I wish I had some words of wisdom but I do not, just wanted you to know that you are not alone. I am about 10 weeks out, feel free to PM if you want to chat. -
When will hunger go away?
Walter.Sobchak replied to LoBMI VSGguy46's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am almost 10 weeks out and have felt hunger since the morning after surgery. I personally think “head hunger” is bullsh*t. The hunger I feel is real. I am afraid it will never go away. The only time I don’t feel hungry is immediately after I eat. Such is life. -
Scared senseless.... pre-op

Surgery is going to be the easy part. The hard part is adjusting to life with your new stomach. -
Wish I was having problems eating food
Walter.Sobchak replied to Sleeved in DFW :-)'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here. Was hungry the day after surgery, stomach was actually growling. I can pretty much eat anything as well. I felt the same way, like maybe my sleeve was too big. -
Awesome, now I just need to contact her and find a divorce attorney. My life of misery is about to change. Woohoo thank you random people of the internet.

The Ah-mazing/complicated/best & worst journey I have taken these past 5 years!
Walter.Sobchak replied to mallary_christine's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yeah, it’s tough to say. It might have happened even without WLS. Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure. -
Clear Premium Protein Shakes..anywhere near me?!?
Walter.Sobchak replied to Tanyatata's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Dude, awful. I had to plug my nose and drink and couldn’t finish one. -
She’s cool with it. My wife has been sick of me for a couple years now.

I love her. I have decided to leave my wife and find her.

Why Getting Sleeved was the Biggest Mistake of My Life
Walter.Sobchak replied to a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Agreed. I saw that after the fact. She may have just been a troll and didn’t even really have the surgery. Who knows. Let’s not waste anymore time on it. -
Why Getting Sleeved was the Biggest Mistake of My Life
Walter.Sobchak replied to a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Why did he get sleeved if his BMI was only 35? Did he have several comorbidities in addition to his BMI? -
Just ate a lot - scared
Walter.Sobchak replied to KaiserKid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon said it can stretch over time but it will never be as big as it was before. -
Clear Premium Protein Shakes..anywhere near me?!?
Walter.Sobchak replied to Tanyatata's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Costco or Sams should have them. But don’t get your hopes up, they are not good. I couldn’t even finish one. -
Fullness.....
Walter.Sobchak replied to Mrs.Tomaso's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will feel full when you start real food. Dense protein will make you feel full. -

If my stomach size is relative to my schwanns, then my stomach must be HUGE!!!!!!! -
Sleeve Surgery stomach removal Q
Walter.Sobchak replied to Tanyatata's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel the same way. My wife and i were sleeved by the same surgeon and I swear my sleeve is bigger than hers. Like he didn’t make mine tight enough around the bougie when he cut it. -
On an unrelated note, who is that plus size model on your profile pic? Because I am in love with her.

Sleeve Surgery stomach removal Q
Walter.Sobchak replied to Tanyatata's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think they just wing it. They don’t go in with any plan, they just figure it out on the fly. Ok, now that I am done being a smart ass. They measure it with a bougie. They insert it into the stomach and cut around it. -
I typically feel hungry every two hours dense proteins seems to help but I’m hungry every two hours
-
I suffer from major depressive disorder and I swear it has been worse since I got sleeved. I no longer have the escape of food, the comfort of food.
-
I was hungry the day after surgery. I was insanely hungry literally the day after surgery. it will get better once you start dense protein, but you will still feel hunger. I am pretty much always hungry. had surgery almost 8 weeks ago.

Now the really hard part begins. Glad your surgery went well.

Going off psych meds after surgery
Walter.Sobchak replied to monalyssa33's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I would love to get off my depression medications, but don’t think i ever will. I have had 30 rounds of ECT for depression. I would love to chat with others about depression, feel free to PM me.
