Has anyone else's had feelings of emotional numbness after an op , mine being a VSG?..

Literally the day after my op I didn't feel right. No happiness although I know I'm happy but can't feel it?...

Irritated lot and quick to get angry?..

I have spoken to my Gp , my dietician and my surgeon and it doesn't seem anyone can pin point it.

I should feel excited about some things but can't!!.. no pleasure or that awesome feeling.

It's annoying to say the least. I'm nearly 12 weeks post op and it's not getting better.

It's not food related as I had it soooo early on.

Something the anesthetic did maybe??

Anyone ??

Sounds like you are clinically depressed. I definitely wouldn't say PTSD. I would schedule an appt with your psychologist. It may be hormone related.

It just seemed to have happened so quickly though like within a day or two..
I don't have a psychologist that I see unfortunately.

Could it be the changes in hormones going on






So quickly though?
Neither my Surgeon or Dr suggested that could be the cause. My surgeon said not to worry it will get better but without knowing what the hell is going on it's frustrating.
Th inability to laugh and get that good feeling from it is a little worrying tbh. I knew something wasn't right the day I came out of hospital but kept putting it down to " it was a traumatic experience and my body has been through a lot"...
I have read about changers the brain can have from being under an anaesthetic and it's scary.
I just hope that somehow I can be my old self again..

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
