Feeling yucky

[Valerie Withrow 0]

This is my third week post-op and i felt better last week than this week. Feeling discouraged and blue. Is this normal?

From what i heard is that this surgery does play havoc with the hormones and with depression. I never had that problem but others have. . . i'm sorry you feel badly, but it'll get better soon. . . here is a big cyber hug(((()))). . . .

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I had some ups and downs in the first few weeks. One day I read a book of funny jokes - another day I read a book about happy people. I also ate fat-free fudgesicles at every meal because the chocolate made me happy.

I hope you feel better soon! ((((((((( Valerie ))))))))

I found once I got off those pain meds, my mood improved. I think the surgery definitely throws you for a loop. I was very anxious and depressed the few weeks. I couldn't believe what I did to myself!! Now I am feeling AWESOME!! You will get there....I promise it will get better!!!

This makes me feel better too, some days are better than others. My biggest problem is fatigue, and I'm still having trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep at night. OVERALL it's getting better, but like, today is a bad day. It gets frustrating.

Totally normal for me!!! The first 3 months were pretty tough for me. I was up and down. Lots of BIG changes emotionally as well as physically. It does get better with time but change is change and it's not easy.

Feel better soon

Thank you for your encouragement. I'm feeling much better.

I am actually having one of those days right now! I'm so depressed, annoyed, tired, etc.. I could go on and on. My mom and boyfriend are trying to encourage me, but its only making me upset. When I get out of the house, my days brighten up, it makes me feel like 100% better. I hope that you are feeling better.
