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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
