intense depression

[crazyplantlady 70]

I understand that fat loss results in a lot of hormones in your blood, and logically I understand that my emotional state is likely linked to this happening inside me

However, with the pressures of work, always feeling nauseated after eating, and the feeling of isolation I have because of this surgery, I am constantly trying to keep from not crying.

I am not responding to stress the way I used to.

Therapy isn't really helping

I don't know what to do

Are you on medication? Just curious.

Have you tried contacting the therapist that is likely associated with your surgeon's bariatric group? They may have the right experience to evaluate and advise.

@@crazyplantlady talk to your doctor or nurse if you are still having problems after eating you're still only 2 months out though, it does take some adjusting, I'm 9 months and I am still adjusting to my sleeve. I don't regret having it though, it was the best decision in my life, I hope things start to get better for you.

Crazy plant lady- I am going thru the exact same thing. I am nearly 4 weeks out and I went to work after 2 weeks. Simultaneously I received a HUGE promotion at work that requires me to work long hours, on my feet (I'm in Law Enforcement). After working in my new position for only a week, I cried every day on my way to work, every day on my way home, cried myself to sleep. My husband finally said enough is enough- this past Monday I went to see my family Physician and she told me I went back to work way too early. She gave me some anxiety meds, which make me really tired, and told me to take another 3 weeks off at the least. I then went and saw my bariatric physiologist today and she said the same. She explained that I am recovering from major surgery at the same time learning an entire new life change and to add a huge promo on top of that, put me over the edge. She too suggested to take at least 3 more weeks off to take it day by day, meal by meal ( I didn't eat the entire week I went back to work and got really run down and emotional). She made so much sense now I have to really concentrate on me and apply it.. Please keep me in your thoughts, this is going to be SO HARD FOR ME.
