I'm sorry you are going through this.

Nor sure if you are pre or post op, but post op it is very common for your emotions to be off. I think it has to do with hormones.

I have chronic depression, so I know the feeling of just feeling off. Things have been going well for me pre-op. Of course I have my slip ups but I have been focusing on eating protein at every meal or snack. I'm down atleast 14 lbs since the beginning of January.

Things that have helped in the past are doing activities. For me it was playing on apps like solitaire, skip-bo, farkle, jig saw puzzles. Another thing I did at one point was coloring. I'm not big on the adult coloring books because some of them can be tedious because they have so many small spots to color in. If you have it in you going for a walk is useful also.

I wish you the best. to reach out to me. Feel free to reach out to me if you want.

I know how you feel. Kind of like a numb feeling. For me after surgery it felt like a bad breakup with my boyfriend aka food. Kinda feels like you lost someone but there still there and you can't have them. I felt like this for a while. What really help me get out of this funk was finding new things to do. Play tennis, put puzzle together, yoga, and ect. Your a whole new person now. Before you let food control your life and now you don't have that. This time you come first. You got this.
If you feel like your depression become worse I would talk to your doctor. I'm on 20 MG of Lexapro and it's helps. Also comes in liquid form so you don't have to swallow a pill.

I would definitely talk to your doctor. At least make them aware whether it's long term or not. It could be hormones or even vitamin levels. Something that could be an easy fix or ease ur mind knowing that it's not "you", which if u were me, would be a sense of relief. It doesn't sound odd that this would happen. But it very well could be a sense of boredom, like as the other typing lady stated - food consumes(d) such a big part of our life that to not have that there anymore our hands and fingers are bored as well as our brain because we're not thinking of what we can or have next like we used to. I haven't had surgery yet, I'm getting the RNY next week. But I've often thought about how I am going to respond after surgery. Emotionally & mentally.
Hope u reach out to your doc! And we're all here 4 u too! :)
