Awesome. Congratulations!!!

Thanks for the reply. I actually reached out to someone today. I am determined to get this all under control. I appreciate the support:)

Are you seeing someone about it? It is probably a good idea to. I am sorry you are going through this because it really sucks and zaps all motivation and energy. Try to take each day at a time. Feel better and focus on the reason why you took this step...to get healthy. We must also take care of our minds too otherwise we can never truest be healthy.

I am 4 weeks post op and going through the same thing...I though my anxiety/depression was under control. Unfortunately I feel it coming back with a vengeance and it really scares me.

The acid blockers are more important than just keeping away the heartburn. We have a greatly increased Rick of developing all ulcers that can actually destroy the suture lines and return us to the hospital with a leak. Take your darn acid blockers!
I had my sleeve done on the 20th and I'm doing great. Went to the gym today for the first time for a more vigorous workout and I've been walking at least 10,000 steps every day since day three. I'm having no real issues yet, I'm keeping food and Water in check, no pain and I'm losing weight. This has been thrilling. And of this morning I've lost 20lbs in my 13 days post op.
I hope everyone else here who is having issues figures out how to work with their new body. But remember, this is a long term aid, not a quick fix solution. If it takes you a month longer to eat or a few gad problems, it won't matter at all in the end as long as these issues are temporary. Best of luck everyone!

I had the blues for quite a while. Bariatric Pal kept me sane . I'm here if you need some support! I know it's not easy right now, but you will make it through.

uuugh- 27 days post op today- and i had the blues so bad the first couple of weeks, i didn't even want to leave my bed. and i hardly did. i totally sympathize, as i also kept this a secret from everyone but hubby and a couple of friends.
i personally try not to talk about it, because i don't want the actual surgery to define me and my weight loss. i want to feel like i'm doing some of it on my own as well. i mean, this is the hardest diet i've ever been on and i'm kicking butt and want some credit.
the whole process is hard and overwhelming, but know you are not alone.

Thanks guys:) I'm very glad I found this app...and thank you for making me feel not so alone in this. I really do appreciate the support and will be reaching out more.
