I think this is like being pregnant and then hearing about someone who had to deliver her own baby on the side of a road during a blizzard. Does that happen? Sure. Is it statistically likely to happen to you? Probably not. But when nearly every person on the planet has social media, you will definitely find a terrible story if you try. Or even if you don't try, because that stuff is clickbait gold and it will find you. Turn off the TikTok and breathe.

I regretted the surgery HARD at where you are. I was miserable. Now, I'd do it again in a heartbeat even remembering the misery.
The only way out is through. Stay strong, stay the course, know that other people have experienced exactly what you are now and you are not alone. I know it's maybe one of the most difficult things you've ever done (it was for me).
It's going to be OK. You'll get through this.

Im think I’m gonna have to agree with @Tony B - NJ here.

I think this person is trolling you all. I commend all of you for wanting to help this person if they are legitimate because that is what we do on here. This one seems too defiant and unwilling to consider any recommendations which just smacks of trolling. I wish this person the best if they are legit and implore them to get help right away if they are legit. But saying that they will seek help but it will not make a difference seems a little fishy. If someone does not think therapy will make a difference they simply do not go. If someone wants help they do not reject every offer of help that is provided. This post does not ring true for me. We have legitimate people on here that deserve our support and help.

This is a bit off topic, but I was so crazy hungry the first month. That will pass and you won't be thinking about your first cheat food. ????

I find it super annoying that people need to stress how supportive their spouses are obviously knowing yours is not. Literally no advice, just a boast on “my husbands better than yours” pretty much .. anyways .. understanding that your husband is unsupportive, I really stress to please try and find a support system! Even if paid, you will need support. Not to mention your hormones will be everywhere and that alone is a big one post surgery!

Maybe you’re being more mindful because you know what awaits on the other side .. I too was losing weight more than usual. Granted I made adjustments like less bread, healthier swaps etc but I was just excited and more on it because i knew what was to come

Hi! I had my surgery at the Tarzana Cedars Sinai surgical center and We weren’t able to have family or anyone in. Honestly I’m kind of glad because the lack of energy post surgery would have been too much.. all I wanted to do was sleep and walk when I could .. plus you’ll probably be on pain meds .. but the nurses will take awesome care of you!! I was only planning to stay one day but decided to stay overnight because of how sleepy I was. I didn’t really bring anything and I was totally fine .. :) 

These are the posts we need more of! You’re 100% right! People tend to post when they’re worried or have questions, and we rarely see the ones that are thriving and are okay. Honestly I’ve been having anxiety as I’m 6 days post op and I know it’s 100% due to me scared of the future and me looking for insight but actually running into other people who are struggling and then I get scared even more. The only thing I have at the moment is brain fog, but I’m also only 6 days post op

You’re not alone! Here’s my insight.. So I had VGS on 7/29 - so I’m 6 days post op. I too have felt the same.. however, I also have dealt with 2 brutal, crippling depressive and anxiety episodes .. so during that time I really was able to learn myself and the way my brain works.. 9/10xs everything I felt was anxiety and it was a matter of calming myself, self affirmations , getting out, riding the wave and allowing waves of emotions and intrusive thoughts to come through and awknowleding them but not buying into them. So obviously being predisposed, I am having some mild depression and anxiety. Thoughts of “wth did I do” , “will I ever eat again” “what if I don’t like how I look” .. and oh ‘ the brain fog .. that always sucks. I texted my surgeon day 1 and got back on my celexa (antidepressant) that I haven’t been on for 3 years, and literally take it day by day. Remind myself why I did this, try not to google, and wrote down my feelings, etc. I’m not 100% but I know I will be .. there’s so many hormone changes and body acclamations we’re going through.. so it takes time. It was stress physically and mentally and this is so unknown for us. It okay and you will be ok. I recommend looking into a psychiatrist for some temporary relief to help with serotonin production and talk to a therapist. Rest a lot. And fake self positive talk even if you don’t believe it .. the mind believes what we tell it
