I'm 1 year 2 months post op and have lost 115lbs which is awesome. I have more energy and can do more things with my daughter, I'm in clothing sizes I have never worn! I should be the happiest I've ever been, but I have a mindset I feel is holding me back. This may seem ungrateful, but I'm ANGRY I'm treated differently now that I've lost weight. It's like I was invisible (or worse- gross) when I weighed 286 but now people notice me just because of what I look like and it PISSES ME OFF.I was all the things that make me ME before I lost weight and now it's like a revelation that I'm worthwhile somehow. All of this positive feedback would have been awesome when my self-esteem was in the toilet from being depressed and overweight. -My husband wants to tell me I look cute and wants to have more sex - and my 1st thought is why didn't you do this before? -People who wouldn't give me the time of day at work tell me my ideas are great - and I think, they were good before, why didn't you speak up then? -My family tells me nice things about myself and my clothes - I cant stop thinking about how I could have used this support BEFORE. Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do to move past this? Should I see a therapist? I don't want to be ungrateful...
