Dealing with Depression

[jessnell 0]

Hi my name is Nellie

I had Gastric Bypass surgery 1/14/16. It seems all my life I've been dieting one way or another.

My highest weight was 317 lbs, I went to go have dinner with my husband and I could not fit in a booth, I was so embarrassed and that's what finally made me say No more! Well after surgery I had 0 pain but was suffering from constantly being nauseous, I couldn't even hold down Water. It's now been 7 days since my surgery and I am no longer nauseous with Protein Shakes or water. But I still can't handle broth I end up having gag reflexes. My main concern now is I'm falling into depression and with not being able to sleep is not helping ????

Just in one week I've lost 20 lbs

Why am I not happy. Is anyone experiencing this? Any positive thoughts or advice is much needed

Thank you

20 pounds in your first week is incredible. Try to keep remembering that your body is going through ENORMOUS changes right now. Your hormones are going crazy. Everything is completely off balance because of the rapid change you are going through. It can be hard in the beginning but it gets better and better. I'm about 5 months out and the difficulties I had in the beginning are already a distant memory. It WILL get better, just keep doing what you are supposed to do to the best of your ability and hang on for the wild ride.

jessnell maybe you need to speak to your Doctor or Nut.

It's important you keep up your nutrition.

Also just remember it's early days. I'm approx 12 days post op and I do have moments of frustration.

Just remember why you had this surgery done, and if your are having trouble then seek some help.
