I did the revision of band to bypass on 1/18/19 & so far I’m down 30lbs.

@CyclicalLoser you’re right I don’t get enough calories in and I know that B12 is low also the thoughts of why did I do this have crossed my mind even though I know it was best. I have lost 30lbs but it’s that sluggishness & being on liquids to full liquids for a total of 4 weeks with no real caloric intake that’s a struggle with also being told I can’t take Vitamins until 2/15. Thank you so much for honesty.

That is a long time to be on full liquids, no wonder you are feeling depressed

I take things really slow. Right now if I'm honest with myself, I'm addicted to sugar free junk food. It's terrible, but we come here to tell the truth and not sugar coat it (pun intended).
Nevertheless, I had problems at first as well. I still have Constipation pretty bad. I chew a magnesium citrate pill in the afternoon, which helps me (um...you know...go) in the evening or next morning. It helps a lot. Getting in enough Fluid does the best though.
Calories is what makes you feel sluggish, and maybe low B12. Check your calories, my doc wanted me at 800 cals a day at 3 weeks out. I was at about 450 (No lie) and I felt pretty bad. 3 Protein drinks and that was pretty much it. I still need to incorporate more fiber into my diet - I have veggies, so I try to eat a fiborous fruit like an apple (With the skin one....can be rough, so chew chew chew!).
Bottom line is: part of your depression is probably because you wonder why you did this & you feel still pretty lousy & you might not be seeing the weight loss you expected & you miss your old food. It gets better, trust me. I've had a gallon of sugar free/low carb ice cream in the freezer since probably before Christmas. It's still unopened. I just don't want it any more.

I've not yet had my surgery but have done tons of research and I believe for those who don't feel like eating to invest in a decent Protein Shake to give all those nutrients and Vitamins as well as something like hydralite or sugar free Gatorade for those important electrolytes. It is definitely a shock to the system with this new stomach

I felt the same way. I wanted to lick it. I just tried to ignore it and eventually the burger was eaten by him and gone. Everything he makes or buys for dinner smells so good. Right now it's in my head but today I felt me stomach growl for the first time since surgery on the 15th. Monday I start puree/soft. I hope it helps to satisfy my head hunger

Doesn't sound appetising at all, don't do it really don't do it.
Go for a walk around the block, go have a soak in the bath, go do something other than being near a hamburger.

I think I will just crush them up & mix into my Protein Shake, that way I don’t have to worry about sugar content. Thanks for your responses!
