I had my surgery in Feb,2017 everything is well. I've lost 63 pounds so far. Lately I've been feeling very depress, I just feel alone it's a strange feeling. Anyone else going thru the same thing? [emoji17]

Just curious if you take any Vitamin D? This winter staying indoors Can play havoc with Vit-D.. levels .and can cause depression. I do take supplement for it because my blood work showed I was low.. I could tell a huge difference between night and day..I felt more energetic and my depression seemed to just lift and go away...

As a fellow Californian I don't think I ever needed Vitamin D supplements until I moved to Canada.

tbh I dunno, maybe talk to family doctor or psychiatrist... less weight means do more, get your butt outside!

I notice you said in a prior post you're from EPA. While I'd never want to live there, you're also really close to stuff. Are you a concert person? You're really close to Shoreline Amp (and can check out my ex-employer Google while you're there in MV), tis the season for concerts! That's where I went to most of the Ozzfests I ever attended.

Remember that your hormones go wonky with sudden weight loss like this. That can really mess with your state of mind. Definitely get the Vitamin D, and maybe try out some new hobbies you felt like you couldn't do before. The rush of being able to do something you've always wanted to can be amazing.

Find something fun to do. I went Roller Skating & had a blast last week. If nothing helps make an appointment & talk to a Dr or counselor.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
