Feeling alone[emoji17][emoji17]



Recommended Posts

I just had my RNY on Monday (06/06/16), I have been fighting with my parents a lot since I got home from the hospital. My boyfriend and best friend were in the hospital with me and all saw everything I had to go through but they don't really understand it.

I feel so alone going through this phase. I've always been a busy girl, so the fact that I can't go to work, can't drive, and can't do much of anything I'm getting angry at literally everyone and everything.

I know I have people to back me up and support me, but no understands this feeling in going through of just anger. I don't regret my choice whatsoever because I know in the long run, it was worth it, I'm just so lonely with all of this.

If anyone else had this feeling please let me know how you got through it.

With love❤️❤️

You are not alone--you have us. And you should start going to a support group to be with others who have gone through this. That really helps.

Your very emotional right now. Hormones are all wacky. Your loved ones don't need to go through WLS to be supportive. Give them a chance - and remember that you aren't yourself right now. You'll feel better soon.

Hang in there! As others have wisely pointed out, this may not be your finest hour, but it is the gateway to a happier, healthier you.

Your body has endured a trauma and that will spill out. Emotions begin coming up that you don't foresee because of chemical and hormonal changes, not to mention your main coping (speaking for myself, was removed)-it necessitates new methods of dealing with life; which is new ground.

The avoidance of emotions is all but gone because like an alcoholic who becomes sober, you are truly alert and awake in a new way-that takes time, training and coaching. Support groups are a great place to learn those skills.

Sending you good thoughts!

I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. Sometimes I cry for no reason. My Dr said it was normal, that I went through a major surgery, on narcotics and anaesthesia . Our families don't understand what we are going through right now. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op, my children are all grown, but I have my oldest and my youngest to help me through. Just talk to them, explain to them how you're feeling. You also have all of us here to listen and help you the best way we can. Hope this helps.

I had surgery the same day as you! I have felt like a basket case of emotions, too, so it's good to know I'm not alone. Sorry I'm not more of a help.

      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... :(
