So I don’t really know exactly how to put this into how I’m feeling but I’m increasingly down in the dumps at 1 week post op RNY. I did all the research and felt prepared but now I see myself being very worried about complications and that my entire life is going to just suck from now on. I’m not worried about the food aspect of it. I’m more afraid of the what if’s that may happen down the road. I’m 21 and I am just now beginning life. I’m worried about if I will ever be able to have kids and if I will have a normal life with this procedure having been done. Don’t get me wrong I am extremely thankful to have had it, but I also hate how I feel right now. It’s mostly feelings of isolation because I haven’t been able to do anything or go anywhere since surgery. Hopefully things get better because I’m seriously struggling right now.

Its great that your hunger has subsided. Enjoy that for as long as it lasts! I like to call what you describe as "head hunger", but hopefully its easily fightable. I actually missed the act of chewing. I bought a bag of Sonic ice and chewed on that for comfort.

I may need to try that. Thank you!

Wishing you positivity and good luck on your journey. I know how you feel, things will get better. My DR said it’s very easy to conceive after wls, you should wait atleast a year. Sending positive vibes your way ❤️
