Ugh having a hard time finding comfort



Recommended Posts

Ok so I had surgery in October and I feel great and am looking good in the outside. I have struggled with kidney stones and have had them blasted work is super stressful. No need going into the boring details. But I can't eat. No food is good to eat anymore. I accidentally skipped Breakfast so irrated all day. I usually knit but I can't seem to find comfort in that. My friends and family don't understand what I'm going through. Feel lost. In need of something. What? I have no idea :( anyone

I go through the same thing often. Its depression. I get upset, irritated, dont want to eat, not interested in anything. Hopefully it will.pass for you soon. If not see a dr. about it.

This is a new depressed feeling. I really thought I had depressed on lock down. I suppose you could be right. But the feeling is more frustrate and lost. Misunderstood. Once I'm cleared to start running again next week. I look forward to it. Perhaps that will help. I feel like I have lost friends as thy have been jealous of my weight loss. But it comes with a price a huge price and I need to find my new way.

Try walking...I have felt that same way and I just took a 30 min walk with my dog....I felt so much better... Try a support group, that might help as well.

I second the support group idea. It is hard for people to know what you are going through that haven't been through it. Which is why they become distant and jealous. WLS still has the stigma of being the 'cheaters' way out. I wouldn't put much emphasis on it. Find something else to occupy your time. Whether it be family night, hanging out at home watching a movie, or window shopping at a local mall.

Another thing is pamper yourself. Go get your nails done or your hair done. Do something for you.

I know how you feel with your friends. My sister in law has actually done that to me. She refuses to acknowledge my weight loss. I've expressed my feelings to her & nothing has changed... Can't believe family would act like this...

      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... :(
