I had my sleeve done 3/26 but since then I have been dealing with withdrawals. I have never had an anger problem but find myself getting mad over the fact I can't eat what everybody else eat. I'm glad I had this procedure done but watching people eat fried foods and sweets works my nerves. Have anyone else experienced this?

YOU BETCHA! In the very beginning, it's a food funeral. . .you go through the remorse of losing your best friend (food) . . . this is where I think no one is ever ready for this surgery. . . we think we are ready, but mentally we are not (this is one aspect I really wish they would tell you about). . . in the beginning during holidays was the worst for me. . i'd actually have pity parties for myself and feel sorry for me. . . it was a pretty sorry sight, . . but then i did alot of self talk, I had to remind myself why i did the surgery and what my long term goal was. . . i started to watch people and their habits with food and remind myself this is exactly how i was . . . i started getting grossed out with obese people even though i am one, i started watch man vs food and would literally get sick. . . i worked myself into thinking I don't need all that food. . . i'm eating to live, not living to eat. . . you have to work with yourself, if you find it getting worse, remove yourself from the situations or find some help. . . you'll be ok, this too shall pass, I'm out 3 years and mine finally left me at about 1 year post op. . . you can do it. . . don't let the anger eat you up, you'll only hurting yourself . . . good luck

Boy did I - and still do. HULK SMASH!

I had a problem with testosterone that was diagnosed years ago and had to start shots. Well as I got thinner the amount I was taking was too much (less body for the same amount of hormone) and the level shot up way too high and man was I pissed! So get your testosterone level checked.

I still find myself more aggressive and vocal then I did before. My T level is back to normal, and just a little lower than what the doc wants but I'm leaving it at that. I am not sure what the root cause is. I certainly don't feel deprived any more as I am about 16+ months out and can eat pretty much anything I want, I don't crave anything and don't really miss it.
