Are you doing another challenge? I am feeling major shame that I have gained back 37 pound from the 105 I lost. I am eating just about anything. Everything I said I wouldn’t do again, I am doing. I need support.

I got hungry...REALLY hungry... a couple of days after surgery. Maybe because I never had nausea, and had little pain. Maybe because I continued to walk 5-7 miles a day. But I was hungry.
Tummy wasn't growling, but I felt that kinda foggy low blood sugar feeling and like I was uncomfortable, needing fuel. Craved food. Healthy food. But it was pretty clear my gas tank was empty.
I still get hungry. But now, I eat half a thing of yogurt, or a half a cup of something nutrious, a little handful of nuts or cheese cubes...and I feel pretty content for 3-4 hours. I do get my 1000 calories in each day, but sometimes that means drinking a lot of Decaf with a ton of Protein Drink in it. LOL. I do eat complex carbs with my Proteins, and fruits without skins.

Yes, I believe it to be Water weight. I hadn’t thought of the hospital fluids or edema. I t does look like my hands have deflated!

You are not alone. My depression has been a little worse since surgery, too. This is a huge lifestyle change and I think it's only natural for your emotions to be fluctuating. We'll get through this though!

I just had my surgery. Home less than a day and I am feeling very strange. Kinda like “What have I done? I’m going to fail.” I was so ready for this, but backslid on my preop diet what if I can’t stay with this? My head is not clear Arghh!

We are a Buddy group of Sleevers having surgery in Dec 2017. We welcome other Buddies that came help us along our journey!
