Yes. You are recovering from major surgery. You are not consuming much nutrition, flying is dehydrating, hormones have been disrupted, etc. Rest, push more fluids, get protein intake goals met. Rest is huge, take a nap.

It's easy to slip into some down feelings after surgery. You've been through a lot so don't be too hard on yourself. By my second week at home I was getting to be really mopey and frustrated at being limited on what I could do. Good news is that it does pass. Rest up and try to keep yourself busy with things that you enjoy. It will get better!

Interesting you mention this, I had my appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday and she offer and prescribed a mild antidepressant because she says that from the research she has done that those on the anti depressant tent to lose more weight and go through the process end to end better. I initially said yes to the pills, but then thought i might not as i dont like taking pills if i dont need to and this morning i am slightly more back on board with the anti depressant. I have never needed or even been considered for anti depressants before it was just something my surgeon said is an option.
