Thank you for your response. I did go to my primary doctor and talked to her about it. She offered an antidepressant but I am reluctant to get on them. She did give me a list of professionals to talk to, so I may go that route first. I just want to get excited about life again, like that first week after surgery.

Hello, Im an October sleever and down 50 lbs from surgery. At first, I was on top of things , watching protien intake,water intake, calories and so on. I was excited about life and my new journey. It has been 4 months and I have fell into a depressed state. I still go to work each day and get along in day to day things but my interest in hobbies and my excitement for new things have changed. I dont feel interested in anything. Such as my new diet, getting my protien or Water in , hobbies ect. anymore .I honestly think the surgery had something to do with it. Help ....has anyone else experienced this????

Absolutely know how you feel. This is just a phase you have to get thru. You can do it. Keep your eye on the prize. You will be able to eat real food soon enough. A piece of turkey and cucumber is not worth messing up your sleeve. Follow your plan and the real food will be waiting on you at the end. Good luck.

My Rhemitoidoligist said he was dead set against getting the surgery. Mind you i was diagnosed with Rhemitoid arthritis 2yrs ago and have been on two different medicine since. I went ahead with the surgery down 36lbs and off both meds as of now. And havent missed them. I go back to him Jan 5 and hope Im down a few more pounds and see the look on his face when he reads my blood work results. Cause Im feeling great these days. And Im sure the more weight that come off, Ill feel even better.

Thank you so much for your words. They did put it in perspective for me. Wow sometime you need someone to say those words to u. My problems seem very minimal to compare to a cancer patient or wounded warrior. I will take those words and stop complaining and be happy I have my health and a tool that gonna make me even healthier. Thanks again, you opened my eyes and the saying is true......"there is always someone else who has it worse than you, so be thankful for what you have".

I had my surgery 10/16 36 lbs down . HW 303 CW 268. I was so excited for this surgery researched it for nearly 3 yrs before taking action and these first 2 mths Ive had so much energy and spunk , Its been great!!!! But Im finding myself going back to my old ways saying oh I ll just eat fast food tonight. Thinking it wont hurt me cause I cant eat much of it. Instead of making something healthy at home. I do ALOT of walking at work so when I get home I set down instead of walking the dogs like I had been doing right after surgery. Its been getting colder so I just use the weather as an excuse. Instead of taking advantage of gettting as much exercise in as possible. Its just scarring me that Im falling back into my lazy habits only 2 mth out. And I was so excited for this surgery ,I just thought my enthusiasm would have lasted a little longer. Anyone having these feelings? I need advice to get back on track and out of my slump.

Absolutely, felt the same way. When ever I felt full like that I got up and walked around the backyard. Had my protien drink in hand and when I finished a lap I would take a drink. Took about 5 or 6 laps to finish my 11oz. Premier protien shake but it went down smoother ( not so full feeling) and I got some walking in as well. Did this for 1st couple weeks and I feel it really helped. I understand the overwhelming feeling of knowing you have to get all those fluids in and physically cant. Hang in there. I will get better day by day. Good luck with your journey.

I number my Water bottles for the day. I helps me keep track of my intake and is a good reminder. Also eat sugar free popsicles, my NUT said these count toward your Fluid intake. Good luck.

I just researched some of the medicine I am still on and the say they cause weight gain. I am 3 weeks post op and now scared to death these meds are going to slow me down in my weight loss journey.My goal is to be off all my meds as the weight comes off but until then is it sabotaging my weight loss? Does anyone else have this concern?

Im 3 weeks out post op and now is when the will power for me really begins. How many calories are you getting in a day?Im staying between 800 to 900 a day. It is scares me cause Im getting more comfortable eating several time a day and I feel like Im getting to many calories for only being 3 weeks out. Any help or others experiences would help .

Get some Benefiber, found in pharmacy area at Wal-Mart mart and add it to your Water bottles. This give you fiber and is tasteless. Im 2weeks post op and have been dealing with Constipation and the doctor told me this trick and have been doing great ever since. Hope this helps.

12 days post op and have weighed everyday. The scale has not moved not one pound. It has done a number on my emotions and I wish I hadn't. Reading lot of post help me realize, it happen to many. But weighing daily plays mind games with you forsure. I actually took measurements before surgery and again yesterday, and I have lost several inches. Which is a good thing. Good luck in your journey.

Thank you! Glad you are okay! And best of luck with your surgery!

Try not to weigh yourself but one a week or monthly. Also take ur measurements and focus on losing inches. I know how frustrating the scale can be. Good luck.
