Depression 6 months after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had issues with depression after the sleeve? I had been feeling pretty good but the last week or so have had such sadness and feel very overwhelmed. I haven't had anything (that I can think of) happen that would put me in this state of mind. Not sure what is going on. I am proud of my weight loss so far. 90 lbs!! But this is for the birds....

This is a big change in life, I suffer from depression before the sleeve, it is one of the worst things ever, one thing I can maybe advise is go out!!!! Spend time with a good friend and try to get your mind back on track, fresh air can really help, good luck

I'm 3months out and I have recently been feeling blue for no reason. Everything is great in my life and yet lately any little thing can make me feel sad. I thought that only happened in the first or second month. I just try to put myself in a happy mood. I try not to dwell on sad things. I have to say also that it takes very little for me to cry lately and I'm not normally a crier. I just figure my body is hormonally challenged for probably this first year or til I hit goal and my hormones calm down.

Thanks for the replies. It probably is hormonal and with the changes our bodies have gone thru. I just thought I wouldn't be depressed this far out. Especially with feeling better about myself since the weight loss. I know I will get past it. Hopefully just a phase....

Our minds have to "catch-up" with our bodies. I think we all experience "mental stalls" - yes, even me!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
