Does anyone feel like they might have hit a little bit of depression after surgery. Maybe with all that's happened to us? I feel like I've been to short with some people and getting annoyed easily. Is anyone else feeling this way?

It's the hormones being released in the fat... We all go thru it... Hang in there

It gets better so hang in there but if you feel you need a little help getting thru it you should contact your Dr...there's no shame in an anti depressant

I think that it is normal. It could also be from the physical pain being experienced during recovery. Also, we are making a lot of changes in our lifestyles.

Same here. I find myself resenting people who can eat what they want right now. It isn't even so much the food that bothers me, just the fact that I had to go through this hell when some people seem to eat and eat and stay thin.

I cry at the drop of a hat. Plus, I am letting myself get overwhelmed by others losing more/faster then me. Logically I am OK with it but deep down it is bothering me.

I have suffered from depression for many many years and take prozac every day. But this after surgery is kinda different. Like out of the blue for no reason you just feel down and cranky and sad. I think it must have something to do with the hormones in our fat. Or something. Cause I will find myself just looking out the window feeling hopeless and I think what the heck is wrong with you, you should be so happy and you are feeling like this. It is a bummer. I want to be happy and healthy so bad.

I'm seeing a therapist, because of the mood swings and what my nurse called food remorse ( missing food amounts) so don't be ashamed to talk to someone it helps

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
