Recommended Posts

i got sleeved july 13th ; what i thought to be the greatest day of my life .... first two weeks were ok no complications or anything then BAMM who knew id spent the next 2 months in and out of the hospital with chronic nausea , i didnt eat all i did was sleep and watch movies & vomit ... i even did accupuncture which made me vommit more and finally went to a diffrent hospital where i spent 4 days i was severly dehydrated and my hernia caused me to be sick but at the hospital i was able to eat solid food & everything got better i started at 238 and leaving the hospital was at 187... now im better and able to eat regular food like salad and chicken my tastebuds do change quite often and i enjoy more salads for everymeal .. i used to hate them now a month later im back up to194 and havent loss anymore weight IS THIS IT?

since i was sick i couldnt do anything so alot of my mussul in my legs and arms went away now that im better im going to start the gym ... in the course of my recovery my father passed away ... he was 49 had a heart attack from no where:( he was in the hospital for pain in his stomach & on the day they were releasing him he had a massive heart attack i have been dealing with my emotions i guess i will begin to see a counslor this month .. when i was feeling better even after my dad past away i was feeling great & sexy i felt the 50lbs gone now im sad all the time & i stopped seeing my body changing i feel like before i had the surgery . im not sure if im getting depressed or whats going on :(:unsure:

You poor thing. You do need to see someone. Any WLS support groups you can go to? Sometimes just getting out there and seeing the world still goes on can be a good thing. Do whatever you can to feel better (except food!). Keep posting.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss! I do not know about you, but pre-surgery I handled all of that kind of stres and emotional turmoil by closet eating...

Now, I take it out on the track by jogging still I want to pass out or kick boxing or hitting a bag... It is so much more rewarding...

I would contact your nutritionist and get some good choice for Protein... and then start moving as much as you can... At times when I would normally eat (at the computer or while watching tv or when alone at the house) I try to exercise instead... just trying to make new habits...

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
