feeling down

[kenziee 3]

my surgery was on the 9th and i’ve been feeling down since i had it. i feel like i’m going to fail at this and that it wasn’t the best decision. but at the same time i’m sort of glad i did it. but mostly just feeling sad about the whole thing. any advice?

You're not going to fail. Don't let the specter of self-doubt creep in. Flash forward 6 months and you will be so much happier and healthier!

it can be very hard to believe that this time will be different but it will be different. The sleeve is an amazing tool to reset your life and reclaim your health and mobility. You have so many small and large victories ahead of you.

i encourage you to look for the NSV -non scale victories - topic located here and read thru it and see all the great things you can look forward to

post op is very much a mental game so keep the reasons you did this in mind and look forward to the good things ahead.

good luck

I am feeling the exact same way. I'm depressed because I am having issues drinking any fluids. Did well with popsicles but the doctor told me it's false telling on how full I am. I even made Protein filled and she said I need to go back to drinking it through a medicine cup. I can only get 1 ounce down every 30 minutes. This is my frustrating part. I hope it gets better and I hope the same for you as well.
