Emotions of defeat?

[paulinamdiaz 2]

I was sleeved on April 3 and everything has been fine up until now. Now I don't know if it's because I have been off my Zoloft or maybe just the emotional journey of the surgery but I am feeling very down and defeated at the moment. I drinking more than 1 oz And still not feeling full/satisfied which scares me!!! Anybody on the same track? :/ I have lost 20lbs which should make me feel like I'm on cloud 9 but the feeling is just not there!

Are you still on liquids? You won't feel restriction from your sleeve until you are on solids or at least purees. hang in there...the first few weeks are tough, but totally worth it. Congratulations on 20 lbs gone forever!

Why are you off your zoloft? You need to take it.

A lot of people have the "WTF's" a week or so after surgery. Give it some time, okay? You won't feel restriction until you get to more solid foods. Try to relax and do the things that your Dr. and nutritionist want you do. It's going to be good, I swear

Hell my WTF's lasted through week 4. I felt no restriction on liquids at all, pissed me off, but realized meh, it's liquids so there won't be any restriction. You'll feel restriction from drinking too fast as the liquid tries to funnel down your swollen stomach, but that'll go away soon.

Thank you. I definitely feel like this is my wtf week! All the replies are making me a lot better knowing its not just me going through this alone.

I started taking it today. I was afraid to take it as a solid but got the go ahead from the doc

20lbs gone forever...I like that lol thanks. Yes I am still on my liquids and its tough. This is a huge mental battle...much bigger than I expected but I am hanging on! It's nice to see people have gone through this and overcame it

Same happened to me. I will be a month out in 2 days. But the first 2 weeks I was kinda depressed. I cried a lot and then got kinda angry. We soon later found out it was from withdrawals . So I had to get back on my meds immediately . You will bounce back. Congrats!

Zoloft is NOT an option...especially while you're going through all of this! I'm glad you're back on. This is emotional enough without missing doses. I'm only 11-12 days out (it's the middle of the night), and it's still hard, but I feel MUCH better than I did just a few days ago. One day at a time....

I think some people just get a bit depressed after surgery. I read it can have something to do with the anesthesia. I didn't have any complications and I've lost 40 pounds but I was like, "eh, so what. I don't care." Finally around week 5 that feeling started to lift and I feel better mentally. So hang in there!! Just keep moving forward.

I def feel very blah sometimes. I'm 3 weeks out today and already starting to feel like myself more and more. Hang in there toots! It def gets better. And taking your meds will help.

I had a week or two of WTF. I was angry at everything I got off the pain meds. After a period I felt better Emotionally. I am 6 weeks out. I feel great and calmer than before the surgery. Also I would tell anyone take your antidepressants. If my family member wanted to get this surgery

I will tell them up front to take your meds afterwards that the surgeon agrees to.

Feel better soon.
