Depression 13 days post op

I am currently 13 days post op, and i cant seem to shake the sadness and regret away. i have been reading and people say that it is normal to feel this way but all i have done all day is lay in bed. im just so sick of this liquid diet which i still have to go through for another 5 days (doctors reccomendation). I feel like i am going crazy and all i want is to reverse the procedure..

@@henna2010 Get out and take a walk or do a little shopping! It's very normal (hormones are out of control). If it goes on for much longer - or gets worse - be sure to talk to your Dr. - you may need some short term anti-depressants. Feel better soon!

I did try to go out but did not really help much, i still did not feel that happiness, i was a jolly person and all i feel now is that this sugery sucked it all out from me. Im hoping and praying this pass soon. Thanks for all your support, my next plan of action is to go and talk to a psychiatrist as suggested by my doctor.

Hi @@GACaldwell thanks for checking in, it was exactly a month post op yesterday. Over all i am feeling a lot better allthough there are still days where i dont feel like consuming anything and just want to stay in bed all day. On the possitive note i went shopping and could fit into all the items i tried out (never would have been possible few months back) and that was the first moment where the regret went away for a while.

@@henna2010 that's great! I'm so glad your feeling better most days. Depression is hard and it's a struggle every day some times. Keep going..depression likes to lie to you but you can survive it. Get help if you Ned to and talk here.
