Has anyone been feeling depressed and weak? Im so tired and depressed all the time. Lost 19 pounds in almost four weeks after surgery and none in the last week.

Ur tired because ur not eating as much as before so the body is lacking nutrients, 19 lbs is better than 0, depressed because this is a total life change and we were able to eat whatever and whenever but don't be, give it time, u'll lose then stop then even gain but don't stop! Ur going to be fine and fabulous! Good thoughts, only good thoughts and b4 u know it, ur shopping cuz ur pants too big or ur bra don't hold ur boobies, u start to notice ur neck bones, ppl will ask of u've lost weight but u won't feel or see it for a few months baby girl... I'm 1 year post and 120 lbs down, depressed, hungry,annoyed but mostly hungry, lol don't feel 100% but look sooooo much better and shopping is so much easier... Take ur time but don't let depression get the best of u, to be honest, it'll slow ur weight loss....u have no idea the life change u have just made but like everything else, it takes time, I'll pray for u as I do for all my sleeve buddies! I don't care who says this is easy, this has been the hardest thing I've done in my life and I'm 35, I be starving and hating on ppl who eat everything but I look great and my self esteem is so much higher! I promise the same for u, now smile, take a deep breath, drink some Water, walk around da block a few times and know, everything is gonna be alright! :-)

      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.
