My First Emotional Breakdown



Recommended Posts

I'm a little over 3 weeks out and just had another major break down yesterday. :( Before surgery, I didn't realize how much of my life revolved around food. Breakfast with my Dad, lunch with my girlfriends, dinner with my husband...I don't know if I miss the food as much as I miss the social aspect of it all. Of course I could still go, but I'm still not feeling great from surgery and it's hard to have anything other then Soup and eggs off a menu right now. I went to a Bariatric Support group last week and the ladies there assured me that it gets better. My fingers are crossed!

I had my breakdown on the 4th of July. It's not like I would have done anything anyway. It was the fact that I COULDN'T eat anything. I had my good cry, ate some sf Popsicles and got over it.

I've been such an emotional wreck lately, my husband is worried about my crying outburst. I'm pretty sure it's all par for the course, in the last few months I've given up food feasting and smoking. Who wouldn't be emotional?

I had a hard time until about 2-3 months out - now things like people eating fatty foods don't bother me. Mfunny but now I get a little grossed out at what I used to eat. Hang in there it gets so much 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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
