K. I've been highly depressed lately and have been slacking. I was sleeved on jan 14th. I haven't lost in 3 weeks. I was doing so well then got depressed and just been "tasting" way too much. I also work at Starbucks and got my coffee addiction back. Has anyone gone/going through this? If so what have/are you doing to get back on track? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok I'm glad that I'm not the only one in the world. I was really beating myself up about it and have just been in the worst mood. It's such a horrible feeling to be going through this ;( I hope we pass it too. I feel like I'm cheating myself and it's really getting to me but I don't know why I just don't put it (food) down.. Ugh Sent from my iPhone using VST

I don't know what's going on with me but lately ive been snacking way too much I don't know how to eat. It's depressing me. I haven't really lost any weight In about 3 weeks and I don't know where to start to get back on track. I feel like when I eat, I don't know when I'm full until I'm full... How many calories should I be at? I am 3 months out and have lost 56 pounds... Please help Sent from my iPhone using VST

Aww thanks so much for your response! I haven't really been tracking calories but I'd say they're anywhere between 700-900 and it's hard to find time for the gym. I have 2 kids work full time and go to school full time by all means that shouldn't be an excuse but it's really draining and most of my days are from 4am-11pm (if I'm lucky) I've been having this crazy craving for Cheetos which is weird because I've never eaten them before. I was never a chip person and now I crave them, I don't get it. How many calories do you burn at the gym? What do you do at the gym? How many pounds a week are you losing? Sorry for the questions but everyone in my family is thin and they just don't get what I'm going through.. Sent from my iPhone using VST

These sound like great ideas! I need to start preparing ahead of time and take a trip to the grocery story. Thanks guys for responding so quickly.. So helpful!! And congrats on all the weight loss. Thanks! -Crystal Sent from my iPhone using VST

I work from 4:30am and go to sleep at around 11pm I'm up for quite a bit. What healthy meals/snack can you guys suggest? What are your meals consisting of? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok sorry I should have explained. I am 10 weeks out 53lbs lost as of Monday and I'm on a 600-700 calorie diet. I don't eat beef or pork and I eat just 2 ounces of food around meal time. I am having a hard time with Protein and I've tried Protein Bars but I can't finish them. I need serious help this whole eating situation really depresses me.. Any suggestions??

I am 10 weeks out tomorrow and I can eat 3 oz of meat each meal (meals consist of only meat) but I feel like I should not be eating that much just 10 weeks out. Any suggestions?? Anyone experiencing this? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Please help! This stall has lasted two weeks can I do anything to change it? I'm 6 weeks post op on Monday. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks! Yours will end soon too! I find it so hard to drink any kind of liquids because of the whole not drinking 30 minutes before and after a meal. I get scared I'm going to stretch my sleeve so soon. My drs have really freaked me out about everything and that's why I use this app as a resource. Thanks guys! For the support and responses Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks everyone! And once again congrats! I'm not freaking out anymore I weighed myself this morning and dropped 5lbs. I have my 6week follow up tomorrow I'm excited! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks everyone for the responses and CONGRATULATIONS to ALL on your weightloss. Everyone seems to keep mentioning Protein. My protein intake isn't good at all I find it impossible to consume that much. What Proteins are you guys having? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was in the hospital, admitted this past Wednesday and discharged Friday. All of my Vitamin levels were low and I was dehydrated. I don't know if my weight gain is from all of the fluids they were giving me but my diet really hasn't changed. I gained 2lbs. Has this happened to anyone? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks guys for the quick response! I was really hoping I'd hear that, I've been freaking out like crazy! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am in the soft foods stage and I need serious help with meals. Can you guys please share what your daily meals look like? I'm not much of a creative Cook and still don't know what seasonings/fats I can use. I'm scared to gain weight since I'm on actual foods now :/ Sent from my iPhone using VST

Great! Thanks a bunch! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm two weeks post op (Monday) and I still have meds to take for the h pylori bacteria (I think that's how it's spelled). I haven't been taking them as regularly because I have to crush them and open the capsule and take the powder. I need suggestions. I've contacted the dr just about every day since I've gotten my meds and they say I have to suck it up. Has anyone had this problem? Did you take the pill whole and felt fine after? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I've been too scared to take the capsule but I am going to do it today. Opening up the capsule is by far the nastiest thing. :/ The pills got stuck? It never occurred to me that that can happen! Was it painful? Did you taste it either way? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I feel very depressed and cry a lot too! I did some research and it's called post surgical depression. A lot of people have this after surgery kinda like when you get post pardum and/or that's your reaction to the anestesia. That's what I've researched and my depression is actually just as bad as my post pardum. Good luck to you and pray that it gets better. I do things to distract myself that usually works.

You look great! Congratulations on your weight loss! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yay!! Thanks. I guess I just kinda had to hear it from someone. I am seriously losing my mind with these liquids, I've been on them for a month already! I'm desperate.. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using VST
