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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
