depression is taking over!



Recommended Posts

Well my surgery date was 2/26/13 and I've lost 23lbs,and I still hate my body and hate anyone who looks at me since i had my baby 6mos. Ago i tend to only wear baggy clothes so nobody will pay me any attention,so i went to the grocery store today and a very handsome man approached me for my number and i was so upset because how could someone like him even look at a person like me all he's looking for is sex,so I hurried and left the store all i can do is cry,my ex left for someone smaller and seems to be happy hopefully with more Weightloss and therapy I can one day find happiness.

As far as men goes, the good ones are not just looking for the perfect body or perfect woman. If that was the case supermodel or Halley berry would never have gone through a divorce. Men do like strong, confident, smart and nice women. Personality really does go a long way!! I can't imagine what all you are going through- weight loss is just a tool and not a cure. You have to figure out the real issue to the depression to make sure you can live a happy health life. (((Hugs)))

I went through several crappy relationships and dates in my life. Got married and divorced 2 years later. Then I met the love of my life, and I've been through my highest weight period with him. He loves me no matter what size I am. He's been there right by my side through the whole pre-op period and surgery. I could not ask for better. One of our friends (a skinny minnie) made a comment today that she wishes her boyfriend treated her as well as mine treats me. The quality men will want you for you, no matter what your size is. They'll see your personality shine through. And some of them actually like big girls :)

I too suffer from anxiety and depression and I think alot of it has to do with my size. I have dealt with infidelity in my marriage too and thought it was because of the way I looked. But, you are a beautiful person and the inside and deep down you know that. You have done a brave thing to have the rny. Now, you are going to make your outside as beautiful as your inside. I think maybe talk to your doctor about seeing a counselor to sort through your feelings. I have done this and it has been a tremendous help. You have to get back to loving you!

        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!

      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
