Hey hun!!! So post op my cravings for unhealthy food were worse than when I was doing the 2 week liquid diet pre-op. Now I don't know if it's because of the lack of food but I have noticed a strain on my relationship and friendships. My fiancé and friends are very supportive about my decision but lately I just seem to want to fight everyone then I get sad after.

Yemen’s I went through the same thing. You are in the toughest time period. Hang in there. I’m 6 weeks post op today and it gets better.

Super common I went thru it. When I went to the next stage I felt so much better.

Thank you for your post I’m 5 months out now and had forgotten how hard the first month post op is. And 95% of it was my brain fighting me. It dies get better but this is the most important time for your new positive brain to I get in sync with your new body. The body actually does pretty darn well it our brains that’s messing with you. We have to find new things to comfort us not food or booze but distraction to help reset our thoughts about ourselves. You made a choice for a better life. Keep fighting the good fight. In 5 month maybe you will share with us where you are today. Healthy. ?‍♀️

I was sleeved 1/16/19 and the first 10 days were BRUTAL for me emotionally. I'm typically a really stoic, stereotypical English woman, and I cried more in those 10 days than I have in the last 10 years! It does get better and you do get through that part of it. From the research I did it just seems like what happens in the early days when you have this surgery. My amazing surgeon told me that people typically get really angry, or really sad shortly after surgery. Hang in there!

Def normal I'm 8 days post OP and the first 6 I was severely depressed, weak, dizzy and overall feeling like trash try to get in some calories somehow shakes yogurt pudding etc and your fluids you will feel much better.

I feel your pain but think of it your loosing weight that was the problem to begin with right. You can do it keep doing great

Wow, thanks to each if you for the posts. I am 8 days pre-op and these feels i g i am having now. When i went to register at the hospital the whole day I was a ball of tears, wondering will this turn my health issues around. Since that day daily i have been afraid, crying and concerned. I started searching support sites because i feel crazy. I know God brought me to this surgery to resolve the serious medical issues i have been experiencing for 3 1/2 years.

Everyone goes through this it is very normal. Just try to stay positive it gets better. A lot of it is fighting through and getting over the hump. It is hard your body has gone through a huge adjustment. ?
