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

I am feeling the same way. I was sleeved Jan.31st and just this week have been wanting to eat more. I didnt lose this week but did last week. Things have been real down in the dumps for me as well. I wish you luck and hope this passes very soon for the both of us!

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

one day at a time. We have issues with food. I for one am an addict! I eat/ate just because. At first it was to rebel against someone who said to stop eating so much or don't eat that it is not good for you. then I ate because I found comfort in food. It was the only thing I could control 100% then I ate because of depression then I ate because... and the list goes on. I am an addict. I am now struggleing to find a new addiction becasue I sitll want to eat. I love food. The smell, taste and the way it looks when it is prepared well.

So this is me trying to find a new addiction...hiking, gardening, working to much, sex, shopping.... none have stuck. It gets dark or light and some activites have to stop. Working too many hours drives my kids crazy and I get too tired so I eat bad stuff. My next choice is going to be joining a gym becasue while I could shop I can't afford to keep doing it the way I spend and buying stuff means I end up with a house full of junk cuz clothes won't fit long.

Well I will try the gym, you might want to find your new focus or addiction if you are like me and need a substitue. GOOD LUCK!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
