I had my surgery in Feb,2017 everything is well. I've lost 63 pounds so far. Lately I've been feeling very depress, I just feel alone it's a strange feeling. Anyone else going thru the same thing? [emoji17]

Just curious if you take any Vitamin D? This winter staying indoors Can play havoc with Vit-D.. levels .and can cause depression. I do take supplement for it because my blood work showed I was low.. I could tell a huge difference between night and day..I felt more energetic and my depression seemed to just lift and go away...

As a fellow Californian I don't think I ever needed Vitamin D supplements until I moved to Canada.

tbh I dunno, maybe talk to family doctor or psychiatrist... less weight means do more, get your butt outside!

I notice you said in a prior post you're from EPA. While I'd never want to live there, you're also really close to stuff. Are you a concert person? You're really close to Shoreline Amp (and can check out my ex-employer Google while you're there in MV), tis the season for concerts! That's where I went to most of the Ozzfests I ever attended.

Remember that your hormones go wonky with sudden weight loss like this. That can really mess with your state of mind. Definitely get the Vitamin D, and maybe try out some new hobbies you felt like you couldn't do before. The rush of being able to do something you've always wanted to can be amazing.

Find something fun to do. I went Roller Skating & had a blast last week. If nothing helps make an appointment & talk to a Dr or counselor.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
