I'm just not happy.....



Recommended Posts

I definitely felt this way too. I felt like there was no joy in life and sort of like I was separate from it if that makes sense. I’m happy to report that at 6 months out I’m back to mostly normal. I’m still a little anxious about over eating, but as I slowly go into maintenance and eat more I’m starting to see that my tastes have indeed changed. It’s a lot of Change at once, but you’ll catch up and feel comfortable and good again

Hey everyone. I went to speak to someone. It felt really good getting it off my chest. She also had the sleeve so she kind of knew where I was coming from. Thank you all for the advice. I am doing my best to adjust to this huge adjustment.

@GotProlactinoma I have never heard of this before. I mean I've heard of beneficial bugs in the gut. Wouldn't yougurt do the trick or is it because of the starches? I take an adult Probiotics because i had horrible nausea and I was willing to try anything, although I'm not religious with taking it. I'm also curious with the gut biome care for bipolar, as I am bipolar myself (totally not ashamed) and I look for any kind of treatments that are NOT more pharmaceutical.

I had a great day yesterday and last night. I went on a date, and it went really well. I felt normal, I wore cargo shorts! I never wore shorts ever. Yesterday I actually looked in the mirror and saw someone different. Now, the mind has to catch up. Each day I am working on it.

Aaaaaahhhhh, Buzz! You sweet thing! Your change in weight sounds dramatic and powerful. No wonder you are a bit lost in your own skin, seeking a new identity.

Although social eating situations are a bit awkward since I am quite accustomed to shoveling my food, I have noticed that slowing down quite a bit and taking small bites really helps extend my ability to enjoy the social eating!

I hope your psyche soon catches up with the new bod!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
