Hi everyone,

I'm new and i just have some questions for everyone. ???? I was sleeved on August 27th 2014 so I'm 10 days. Not gonna lie it feels so much longer. I never was addicted to food but I'm def having some blues regarding having only broth and liquid. Seems like I have nothing to look forward to and I know that sounds so stupid but even healthy people base a lot of activities like beach trips and dates on dinners or lunches and I'm her like well can I have some broth lol I know it's gonna be better and I won't care later on when I'm at goal and I have lost ten lbs. and I'm normally such a positive person but I found myself I tears feeling so restricted? Anyone else feel that way ever ? Plus I have what seems the only doc who keeps you liquids for a whole three weeks after surgery not to mention my two week pre op liquid diet. Reading others were able to at least have yogurt and cottage cheese after a week erks haha

I'm going through a blues period too but not quite the same as you guys. I was sleeved August 18th and lost 20 lbs as of Sunday. Since then the scale has not moved and to be honest I keep having thoughts suggestiog that the surgery won't work and that these 20lbs is the end. I second guess everything I do, if I'm eating too much, drinking too much, exercising enough. I even have dreams about being stuck at this weight. I feel crazy.

Congratulations! You have reached "The Dreaded Week-3 Stall". It's perfectly normal and just about all of us have suffered through it. You're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or more. But don't worry -- after that, the weight will start falling off if you stick to your program. If you're interested, here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight like crazy!

Hi Mellytoon, I am over a month out and I still get the blues. I often feel so alone and isolated on this journey. I feel like nobody really understands what I am going through right now. Most people I know who are quite far out on this journey seem so happy with this decision. I seriously wonder if or when I will reach that stage..?

My first month I had my crying spells, I had my wat did I do..moment! I had some blues..your hormones shift. Body is adjusting. I was forwarned about it from few of my drs. The brain an body is also wanting that addictive dopamine an serotonin it was getting all the time for yrs I'm not saying this is or was you but hey I've been comforting my emotions for 35 yrs! All of a sudden it's not! Hang in there..it gets soo much better. Its a process. ..takes time. Call your dr if you need to. There are ones a lot farther out from surgery that I'm sure still goes thru these feelings an emotions. Hope you get feeling better soon!
