Hello,
I'm incredibly new here but i've been reading people's posts. I still considering weight loss surgery and I will most likely do it due to my years of weight gain and loss and my family history of health problems associated with obesity.
I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I think you are courageous. You made a really big decision for yourself and from what I understand it is normal to grieve or feel symptoms of depression as you consider the many ways your life has changed.
You chose surgery for a reason. I think that finding new ways to celebrate ourselves can be a challenge to anyone.
I wish you happiness and the drive to hydrate ; )
