Hi Everyone,

I am 4 weeks post op and I am looking for some support buddies...the first few weeks were scary/exciting, but now that I am back into real life I am feeling a bit down and alone in this. I don't really know anyone else with this experience and have trouble expressing myself to others who cannot relate. Is there anyone else out there who hit some depression so quickly in?

uuugh- 27 days post op today- and i had the blues so bad the first couple of weeks, i didn't even want to leave my bed. and i hardly did. i totally sympathize, as i also kept this a secret from everyone but hubby and a couple of friends.

i personally try not to talk about it, because i don't want the actual surgery to define me and my weight loss. i want to feel like i'm doing some of it on my own as well. i mean, this is the hardest diet i've ever been on and i'm kicking butt and want some credit.

the whole process is hard and overwhelming, but know you are not alone.

I had the blues for quite a while. Bariatric Pal kept me sane . I'm here if you need some support! I know it's not easy right now, but you will make it through.

Thanks guys:) I'm very glad I found this app...and thank you for making me feel not so alone in this. I really do appreciate the support and will be reaching out more.
