I just need some motivation

[rhaya sunshine 8]

I'm a week out and I'm feeling so depressed and discouraged. Like no matter what i do this won't work. Like I'll think I'm doing it right but I'm not and nothing will work. I've also been having a very easy time getting everything down so I've mentally convinced myself that my sleeve wasn't made small enough. I'm really just feeling freaked out and upset.

Don't be discouraged... Your body has just been through major surgery and it needs time to heal and recover and I'm sure your sleeve is the perfect size. I actually know a few people that also had an easy time getting liquid down after VSG surgery and they have been very successful with weight loss !!

I went through buyers remorse and was doubting my decision for the first couple of days. I was sleeved on 2/29/16 and this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made !!

Continue to follow your program, stay on track and you will be just fine. You will see the weight drop and be motivated to keep goingTake lots of progress pics too.

Good luck on your journey

I have been recently having the same feelings. I'm coming up on my two week post op appointment. I've been reading all of my paperwork over and over and studying the diet plan just to make sure I don't mess it up. I'm sure this will pass for both of us. Gotta keep our eye on the prize!

I never had any issues getting liquids or mush foods down, relax. I was convinced I was given a placebo surgery. You made a great decision soon you will feel the differences happening, and you will find out as you progress through the stages, that yes, you have a small sleeve, it won't hold much. Water really almost goes right throw, food will be when you feel the restriction, relax and enjoy that things are going great, you are not having any issues, and are having no physical issues. Best of luck

The first couple of weeks are were pretty rough for me, but then things got better day by day. Your body has to make many adjustments and so does your mind. Stay positive and do your part and good things will happen over time...

Hormones are probably playing a part in how you are feeling! Follow your plan - if you do that you can't do it wrong! Don't pay attention to the scale right now - you are swollen and were pumped with fluids - the weight WILL come off! Stay strong!
