Once again, Congratulations your WLS is working. Sometimes it takes awhile for us to get used to the new way we react to food. Sometimes we want to be able to eat as we once did. Try not to think that way. Try thinking on how your total way of eating has been reset and that you now have control over what you eat. I know it's so different from what you're used to but believe me, it's so worth it to be healthy.

Isn't it amazing how little we can eat after WLS? That means the surgery worked! I think our hormones get whacked out after a major surgery like we've had so it's not really surprising that you might be depressed. I'm sure it'll pass with time. Take care.

I'm not making any assumptions but were you an emotional eater? I have found that since I am not able to eat as I used to that I am having a lot more anxiety. I realize now that I used to eat to help deal with my anxiety, now without food I am having to feel it. It's not comfortable but in a way, I feel good that I am not using food to cope right now.

Your right I am a emotional eater.. my mom passed away last Wednesday and I been wanting to eat and I cant.
