2 weeks post op vsg depression

[Scott83 1]

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago in Liverpool, England, physically I feel great am 2 half stone down from 19half and feel much better on my feet, I've struggled with my weight my entire adult life so for my health I decided with this after months of thinking about it. After the surgery I had the blues and couldn't stop thinking about the 80% of my stomach being removed thing which I was ok with before the op but really hit me when it was done afterwards, it made me feel like I had disabled myself somehow and paid 8half grand for the privilege, also can't get my head around the eating tiny meals which again I was fine with pre surgery as I was concentrating on the losing weight side of things! Any guys out there who experienced the same thing in the early days and have got use to it as time passes? Need some support, where I live the sleeve is almost unheard of so there's not really anyone I can speak too.

Look at the POSITIVE aspect of the surgery outcome. It is for a HEALTHIER you for the long term. You would have much more energy and do things you could not be able to do. After having this bariatric surgery it is a NEW YOU and PERSON. You should feel HAPPY and EXCITED. Think POSITIVE!

It's all going to be good.

The initial size of your meals will grow over the first year.

It'll grow to the point where you can get down a cup or so of food per meal. Stick to Proteins and good vegetables and you'll do great....really great.

Your weight will be something that you can now control.......and not have it control you.

You are gonna benefit hugely from this decision.
