Does anyone else feel this way?



Recommended Posts

I am a week away from being 3 months post-op. I have had no complications & have been following my program minus my bread incident earlier today. As if Tuesday I am down 61 lbs. The past few weeks every time that I get on the scale I am super happy...for about 10 minutes. Then I start getting anxiety & feeling depressed. I don't know why. At my surgeon's office visit last week they said that I am right on track with what they expect in regards to weight loss. I have been losing weight regularly. I am down 3 sizes & don't have to shop online anymore. I have so much more energy. So, why the anxiety & depression? Anyone else feeling like this?

I have my up and down moments too...for me it was because I am an emotional eater and havent been dealing with my emotions with food anymore, therefor, not dealing with them at all. also I automatically have this thought in my head that this is too good to be true and it will all come back or stop completely before my goal weight. I would suggest talking to someone you never know, it may help. :) chin up girl :) you can get through it.

Hugs :)

I'm not nearly as far out as you but I've definitely got the anxiety thing going on. I'm seeing a therapist next week and I'm really hoping he can get me on a path out of the anxiety. I don't want to be medicated, I want to feel like myself. I want to sleep. I'm only 3 weeks out, so naturally I'm the kind of post that sympathizes but can't ultimately help your answer. I hope someone has an answer for you.

Omg yes! I am ridiculously depressed despite having dropped 4 sizes in less than 4 months! My pounds aren't dropping very fast and that causes anxiety! I can eat basically anything and yes I still cope with sugar..... It's so strange but the day after a bad sugar binge, I am majorly down.... I am stressed over being a super slow loser...... So I eat crap! Definately have a lot of learning to do on the proper use of my new tool!

Am 4 months out, every time I step on the scale and I loose 1 or 2 lbs , I get so depress and sad. But if I gain a pound or two I don't feel that way. I get more down on my self when I only loose 1-2lbs. Crazy!!!! I KNOWW!! I feel am a slow looser and it drives me crazy!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
