From what i heard is that this surgery does play havoc with the hormones and with depression. I never had that problem but others have. . . i'm sorry you feel badly, but it'll get better soon. . . here is a big cyber hug(((()))). . . .

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I had some ups and downs in the first few weeks. One day I read a book of funny jokes - another day I read a book about happy people. I also ate fat-free fudgesicles at every meal because the chocolate made me happy.

I hope you feel better soon! ((((((((( Valerie ))))))))

I found once I got off those pain meds, my mood improved. I think the surgery definitely throws you for a loop. I was very anxious and depressed the few weeks. I couldn't believe what I did to myself!! Now I am feeling AWESOME!! You will get there....I promise it will get better!!! :rolleyes:

This makes me feel better too, some days are better than others. My biggest problem is fatigue, and I'm still having trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep at night. OVERALL it's getting better, but like, today is a bad day. It gets frustrating.

Totally normal for me!!! The first 3 months were pretty tough for me. I was up and down. Lots of BIG changes emotionally as well as physically. It does get better with time but change is change and it's not easy.

Feel better soon :)

I am actually having one of those days right now! I'm so depressed, annoyed, tired, etc.. I could go on and on. My mom and boyfriend are trying to encourage me, but its only making me upset. When I get out of the house, my days brighten up, it makes me feel like 100% better. I hope that you are feeling better.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
