I hate my sleeve

Ha you seem so condescending in all of your responses. I expected it to be EXACTLY like it is and you know what - I thought it wouldn't bother me but guess what - today it does, today it really sucks. Not every one can be as "with it" as you are. I'm glad you're in therapy, I'm glad you stick to your 3 meal a day, no snack rule, I'm glad you got up and ran yesterday and I truly hope your brother noticed your weight loss and commented - it would stink if he didn't.
So, I religiously read this board, I had a good idea what it would be like and at this moment in time I don't like it.
Whoa. Your response was way out of line. Gwen simply asked you a question. She is a valuable source on this board and as a newbie postop you should step back and think about your reaction. Wls surgery isn't a walk in the park. People have expectations from the time they get off the table and if they don't get instant gratification they post "I hate my surgery". They usually do an evaluation prior to surgery to see if you are mentally able to make the changes emotionally. I don't know at this point if you are going to be a success or a statistic, that is up to you. But burning your bridges to your only support system who understands what you are going through isn't very smart. Your future is up to you,either you make the most of it or since you got a restriction only procedure you can be feasting on a chocolate donut in only a few weeks.
I think you should apologize to Gwen and get your head in the game.

Gwen asked you a question with absolutely no condescension or 'tone'. You went off the deep end. From your reply to her, it sounds as if you had an axe to grind against her long before she asked you an innocuous question.
If you get this hateful with everyone and read nastiness where there was none, you are in for an unpleasant time. If you really detest someone, hit the block button.
There is a time in the post op period where some of us get our asses on our shoulders over things that usually wouldn't phase us. The trick is to try to recognize it.

Completely uncalled for response - GwenMo was asking you a valid question that deserves a thoughtful response - either on this thread or in the privacy of your own space. While you may be hormone dumping and extra sensitive at this moment you really should consider the question and your answer. What were you expecting? How is your experience different or similar to those expectations and how reasonable are they given your cir****tances? WLS isn't for everyone clearly and you need to figure out how you are going to live with your decision.
Frankly Gwen's response to your snarky comment was very classy. For your sake I hope she still takes the time to reply to your future posts as she has lots of valuable insights to share. Good luck getting through this rough patch - This too shall pass!

Thank you for your reply.
You have given this reply at least 5 times to responses that didn't suck your ass. And who is the condescending one?
