Depression 13 days post op



Recommended Posts

I am currently 13 days post op, and i cant seem to shake the sadness and regret away. i have been reading and people say that it is normal to feel this way but all i have done all day is lay in bed. im just so sick of this liquid diet which i still have to go through for another 5 days (doctors reccomendation). I feel like i am going crazy and all i want is to reverse the procedure..

@@henna2010 Get out and take a walk or do a little shopping! It's very normal (hormones are out of control). If it goes on for much longer - or gets worse - be sure to talk to your Dr. - you may need some short term anti-depressants. Feel better soon!

I did try to go out but did not really help much, i still did not feel that happiness, i was a jolly person and all i feel now is that this sugery sucked it all out from me. Im hoping and praying this pass soon. Thanks for all your support, my next plan of action is to go and talk to a psychiatrist as suggested by my doctor.

Hi @@GACaldwell thanks for checking in, it was exactly a month post op yesterday. Over all i am feeling a lot better allthough there are still days where i dont feel like consuming anything and just want to stay in bed all day. On the possitive note i went shopping and could fit into all the items i tried out (never would have been possible few months back) and that was the first moment where the regret went away for a while.

@@henna2010 that's great! I'm so glad your feeling better most days. Depression is hard and it's a struggle every day some times. Keep going..depression likes to lie to you but you can survive it. Get help if you Ned to and talk here.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
