Hi everyone. I have never had depression in my entire life not even as a big girl. Now 6 wks put of surgery and down from 200 to 168 lbs I am being faced with all sorts of unstable emotions. My relationship with my partner is struggling. He isn't really the affectionate type to begin with but lately he has been distancing even more or so I feel. I feel rejected at times, feel like he comes up with vague excuses for his behavior. All he keeps saying is "your going through major image changes, I dont think I fit in anymore" he claims that I am always needing massive attention from him. But when one is feeling lonely, and rejected how could one not feel needy. This whole thing is just too much for me to handle. Its stressing me out to the point where I **** down my stomach completely. I made an appointment to see the bariatric physiologist tomorrow and I asked him to come with me. We have been together for 6 yrs and living together for 3.5 yrs. I dont know what to do. I feel we are all going through all sorts of changes. I want to be able to take control of my emotions and direct my attention on something else. I hate feeling this way and feel out of control. Any advice is welcome [emoji17] [emoji120] [emoji30] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone. So I go back to work tomorrow after 4 weeks out for the sleeve surgery. I'm excited to get back to work but overwhelmed about being so busy at work and forgetting to get my liquids ne protein in[emoji85] . I mean sometimes I forget to while being at home imagine while being at work where its fast paced all day? Anyone have any suggestions as to what to take to work ? I was thinking lots of high protein snacks maybe? And setting up a snack, water and meal timer? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Omgash I am 4 weeks post op today. Just like you Ibwas great pre ops, during and even 2 wks post. But honestly the translation to pureed/soft has not been easy for me. I struggle with finding food that sit well with my new tummy or I find myself struggling to get a couple bites in without having the urge to throw it all up again because it feels like its stuck in my throat and as it goes down it hurts like hell. [emoji30] [emoji17] [emoji85] . My one length follow up isn't till Oct 15th but I am going to call to get a sooner appointment. I get back to work tomorrow first time after my surgery and it makes me worry that with fast pace hectic work like mine I wont have time to get my liquids or protein in. I honestly dont know what am I doing wrong. I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible. I even put a chewing timer on[emoji87] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I know..[emoji30] but thank you soooo much. You've been very helpful. Staying on a positive note and just being patient with my new tummy[emoji52] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

All these ideas sound awesome! You got this under control I say[emoji16] . I know it's been only 4 wks post op but my stomach is super sensitive like it reject alot of things I use to be able to enjoy. I suddenly became lactose intolerant, cant handle any low fat milk based yogurt, scrambled eggs give me the runs(can only do a poached egg) you can understand the aggravation with trying to find things that work for me. I have tried 3 different protein shakes premier I can no longer do. The organic plant based didnt sit well with me felt so heavy and now I am trying the isopure whey(tried it with almond milk and nope not good) so will try again with just water. [emoji85] [emoji86] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] . Another thing is that when ever I try eating my 2oz or less I feel like my food is stuck in my throat wanting to throw up. When it's not that then I just feel cramps in my stomach sigh....[emoji17] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've notice that it's easier for me to Consume more H2O[emoji98] using a water bottle like this one because you get the right amounts of sip sip sip. I just fill it up and have it with me all day and just sip sip sip Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

See that right there[emoji115] is your your head messing with you and your emotions. DO NOT allow it! You've come this far and it wasn't in vain. If you made it through the pre-op liquid diet then all is possible [emoji120] [emoji119]. Stop putting focus on that scale, put it away. Stay focus on eating right, drinking your water(detox water ex:mint leaves and lemon slices in your water) and if your not clear to lift weights yet at least walk, swim, elyptical, put weights on your ankles, go up and down stairs, put YouTube on your tv and do at home body workouts, put your binder on while doing so. Put marbles on a jar of your highest weight on one and as you lose you take that amount of marbles and out to on another jar "lose" we are visual creatures when it comes to our weight. Jump rope, I mean the list goes on and on... Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Try hydrating more. And having more snacks in between so in the event that you dont get your meal in at least your snacking more Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was the same during my first 3 weeks. The plant based protein dis the same so I just decided to drink the premiere one they recommended but couldn't do it for to long since all of a sudden after surgery I kinda became lactose intolerant Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Lol! That's a good side effect [emoji140] [emoji140] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Lol "I just want to cry and eat food" I feel you. I gained 2lbs (what feels like 10) back on. Ots like the sleeve gets you all hyped about losing a lbs a day pretty much and then boom!! Nothing! Ughhhhh. I haven't got clearance to do anything else but walk for 20nmins but I am so tempted to just go at it in the gym at least that way I know the lbs I'm gaining is muscle gain related[emoji30] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

You know what, it's funny you should ask that because my right hip gas been somewhat uncomfortable. I thought it was due to me sleeping on my right side? I'm using the patches for medicine but I wonder if I am getting enough or maybe I should start taking them orally instead even if I crush them? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
