Hang in there gals! I didn't feel well during the first weeks either - but it does get so much better! You have taken a wonderful and brave step toward making your mind and body healthier and you will begin to see results that will be so encouraging when you get further along with your healing process. We are all cheering for you! Meanwhile, don't be too hard on yourselves.

Hope

Everything you said sounds completely normal.

Please know that after you dramatically decrease the amount of calories your body gets it's normal to go through a depression period. Focus on getting better (healing) NOT the scale at this point.

Things will get better I promise!!

I 'm a newbie too. I was really nauseated in the hospital and they kept giving me phenergan which was making me sleepy. The coordinator from my doctor's office came into my room and chastised me for sleeping! I told her they had just given me about my hundredth dose of phenergan and she patronizingly told me that I just needed to fight the fatigue! uh what? I felt awful...But I got better each day. I'm 3 wks out now and have mostly forgetten the pain but I wanted to say that if your "blues" don't go away don't suffer. Ask for an anti-depressant -there are some great ones out there that can get you through the toughest part. If you're anything like me I am mourning food. I was trying to explain this to my effortlessly thin husband and he said "but I thought this is what you wanted?"no no no. I want to be skinny-not hungry!!!!Everyone here understands-keep coming back here for support-it will be your saving grace.

ps-thanks for letting me vent
