2 weeks post op vsg depression



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago in Liverpool, England, physically I feel great am 2 half stone down from 19half and feel much better on my feet, I've struggled with my weight my entire adult life so for my health I decided with this after months of thinking about it. After the surgery I had the blues and couldn't stop thinking about the 80% of my stomach being removed thing which I was ok with before the op but really hit me when it was done afterwards, it made me feel like I had disabled myself somehow and paid 8half grand for the privilege, also can't get my head around the eating tiny meals which again I was fine with pre surgery as I was concentrating on the losing weight side of things! Any guys out there who experienced the same thing in the early days and have got use to it as time passes? Need some support, where I live the sleeve is almost unheard of so there's not really anyone I can speak too.

Look at the POSITIVE aspect of the surgery outcome. It is for a HEALTHIER you for the long term. You would have much more energy and do things you could not be able to do. After having this bariatric surgery it is a NEW YOU and PERSON. You should feel HAPPY and EXCITED. Think POSITIVE!

It's all going to be good.

The initial size of your meals will grow over the first year.

It'll grow to the point where you can get down a cup or so of food per meal. Stick to Proteins and good vegetables and you'll do great....really great.

Your weight will be something that you can now control.......and not have it control you.

You are gonna benefit hugely from this decision.

      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!!

      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... :(
