Has anyone been feeling depressed and weak? Im so tired and depressed all the time. Lost 19 pounds in almost four weeks after surgery and none in the last week.

Ur tired because ur not eating as much as before so the body is lacking nutrients, 19 lbs is better than 0, depressed because this is a total life change and we were able to eat whatever and whenever but don't be, give it time, u'll lose then stop then even gain but don't stop! Ur going to be fine and fabulous! Good thoughts, only good thoughts and b4 u know it, ur shopping cuz ur pants too big or ur bra don't hold ur boobies, u start to notice ur neck bones, ppl will ask of u've lost weight but u won't feel or see it for a few months baby girl... I'm 1 year post and 120 lbs down, depressed, hungry,annoyed but mostly hungry, lol don't feel 100% but look sooooo much better and shopping is so much easier... Take ur time but don't let depression get the best of u, to be honest, it'll slow ur weight loss....u have no idea the life change u have just made but like everything else, it takes time, I'll pray for u as I do for all my sleeve buddies! I don't care who says this is easy, this has been the hardest thing I've done in my life and I'm 35, I be starving and hating on ppl who eat everything but I look great and my self esteem is so much higher! I promise the same for u, now smile, take a deep breath, drink some Water, walk around da block a few times and know, everything is gonna be alright! :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
