deedeemuffin 346 Posted February 21, 2013 I am a week away from being 3 months post-op. I have had no complications & have been following my program minus my bread incident earlier today. As if Tuesday I am down 61 lbs. The past few weeks every time that I get on the scale I am super happy...for about 10 minutes. Then I start getting anxiety & feeling depressed. I don't know why. At my surgeon's office visit last week they said that I am right on track with what they expect in regards to weight loss. I have been losing weight regularly. I am down 3 sizes & don't have to shop online anymore. I have so much more energy. So, why the anxiety & depression? Anyone else feeling like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnywithin 23 Posted February 21, 2013 I have my up and down moments too...for me it was because I am an emotional eater and havent been dealing with my emotions with food anymore, therefor, not dealing with them at all. also I automatically have this thought in my head that this is too good to be true and it will all come back or stop completely before my goal weight. I would suggest talking to someone you never know, it may help. chin up girl you can get through it. Hugs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juny 93 Posted February 21, 2013 I'm not nearly as far out as you but I've definitely got the anxiety thing going on. I'm seeing a therapist next week and I'm really hoping he can get me on a path out of the anxiety. I don't want to be medicated, I want to feel like myself. I want to sleep. I'm only 3 weeks out, so naturally I'm the kind of post that sympathizes but can't ultimately help your answer. I hope someone has an answer for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimimiway 4 Posted February 22, 2013 Omg yes! I am ridiculously depressed despite having dropped 4 sizes in less than 4 months! My pounds aren't dropping very fast and that causes anxiety! I can eat basically anything and yes I still cope with sugar..... It's so strange but the day after a bad sugar binge, I am majorly down.... I am stressed over being a super slow loser...... So I eat crap! Definately have a lot of learning to do on the proper use of my new tool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystalite 26 Posted February 22, 2013 Am 4 months out, every time I step on the scale and I loose 1 or 2 lbs , I get so depress and sad. But if I gain a pound or two I don't feel that way. I get more down on my self when I only loose 1-2lbs. Crazy!!!! I KNOWW!! I feel am a slow looser and it drives me crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
