Depression 13 days post op



Recommended Posts

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
