So sorry you are feeling regret. I remember that all too well. How far out are you?

Thank you everyone for your support during that time after my surgery where I was really struggling. I am doing better now and am happy to say I am not sad anymore. I really do appreciate everyone's words of encouragement and support. Thanks again

Hi everyone just an update I am doing so much better emotionally. It's been over a year since by surgery on 12/15/15. I have not been losing weight like I used to been kinda stuck at the same weight. Does anyone has suggestions for me on how to get myself back on track? Thanks

In the beginning I also was extremely sad and depressed and found no joy. I really thought it would not get better and had regretted the surgery so much. Now almost 6 months out I feel so much better. I am not sad and depressed but have found joy again. I thought I would never feel good again and cried daily. It was really bad especially when my three kids ages 14, 11, and 8 saw me this way. But with therapy and lots of support from sites like this I was able to push through. It WILL get better in time this journey has been life changing for me and ha been one of the hardest things I have done but I am healthier now for myself and my children so I know it was the right choice.

I also went through a really bad depression as well as anxiety attacks. If you read some of my other posts I also felt the same way you did. I was crying constantly and had no joy. I went back to work after 6 weeks and I was probably at the worst in my feelings. I started therapy and am feeling so much better. For me I felt when I was cleared for regular foods and was eating a little more I also started to feel better. I have three children ages 14, 11, and 8 this was so hard for me to know they saw me go through this. I was so sad all day somedays I did not even get out of bed it was too hard. With time and support I was able to find a way to cope and get back into life. It will get better. I remember people saying that to me and I could hear them but I truly believed I would never feel better but now almost 6 months out I do feel better. Some days are still hard but things do get easier and life will be better. We are all here to support you on your journey. All the kind words I received from so many when I was struggling really helped me pull through and I hope can help you as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just an update. It's now been almost 6 months since my surgery and I am feeling much better. Those first few months dealing with depression and anxiety was so difficult for me. I appreciate all the support I received from everyone and words of encouragement. Back then I really thought I would never feel better but I was wrong. I do feel better and m healthier than I have been in a long time. Again thanks for everyone who helped me get through that very emotional period I was dealing with.
