Hello,

I was sleeved on 5/1/2012 and I was so depressed and almost angry at times - my doctor said that was because I was very nervous about everything and was/am having anxiety. Maybe check with you doctor and there might be something he/she can give and or recommend something that may help you. I walk - I can't walk far but I walk as much as I can and I really try to stay busy and most important to me - I get as much sun as I can take :)

I hope this helped you in some way - Good Luck :)

I had it bad for almost 6 weeks....depression, hopeless feeling, got really angry for almost no reason. It will pass. My best suggestion is don't make any major decisions and really think about things before you say them. I said some things to people that I wish I could take back! Now looking back, I realize I was half outta my mind! 3 months out, everythings fine now.

The first 4-6 weeks were tough, was thinking I was going to melt overnight and when it wasn't happening it was depressing. Three months out now and doing and feeling great. It will pass.

I have. Sleeved one week ago and mine is over having made a decision that cannot be undone - I think that is a normal reaction to any life- altering decision that is irreversible. I just have to keep reminding myself it will pass -- what choice do I have???

Yep- this surgery took away my best/most consistent friends: food. It's a natural thing I believe. You will pull out of it. It will get better. Lots of love!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
