What did I do to myself PLEASE HELP

I am one week out of rny and this morning I started feeling depressed  And I thought to myself what did I do to myself why could I not accept myself for me  And dont get me wrong I am not hungry I can barely put liquids down and have been around alot of food and not crave any  did anyone feel like this what did you do or did it go away PLEASE HELP i just feel like crap my body hurts by head always hurts I want this feelinf to go away

Yep, I did for about one week, and then that was it.  I got like that because I wanted to be like I was before surgery and eat what I wanted.  It wasn't a matter of accepting myself the way I was, heck I don't accept myself the way I am now, but I took a good hard look at where I was going as someone morbidly obese.  I was on deaths door had I kept up what I was doing, and this surgery to me, was the best thing I did.  It takes time to drink water the way I used to, I had missed that, the food thing drove me crazy and I had a total meltdown, and I mean MELTDOWN.  I hated my family for even looking or eating in front of me.  But it all got better.  On top of all of that, I was already on Prozac and have been for many a year.  If you keep it up, please call you doctor and tell him how you are feeling.  He may be able to help you out for a short while, but trust me, what you are feeling is normal and you will be just fine.  Wait for your first WOW moment, wait till your clothes all become too big, wait till all these wonderful things start to happen to you.  Your mood will change, and you will feel wonderful.  Trust me on this.  Keep me posted

Good luck, Diane

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way.  I had my surgery one week ago and don't feel like that at all but I have heard that it does happen and it still can happen to me.  I think what Diane said was right on!!!! Keep your chin up and it will get better.  Focus on the end result.  If you need anything, please email me and I would be happy to help you with anything that I can.
Take Care,
Hugs

Hang in there.  It's normal to feel that way. I remember my second day out (I was still in the hospital) and getting mad at the TV commercials.  I thought OMG  every other commercial is about food.  The way you think about food will change.  I didn't give up the caffeine before surgery so I wound up having a withdrawl headache for the first 4-5 days.  It will get better.  I now eat to survive not survive to eat.  Don't get me wrong. I do miss food sometimes &  I have had some complications along the way, but as time goes by and I see and feel the results......It makes it all worth it.  I would do it all over again.  You will be amazed how fast time will go by

Diane is right, if it continues, please call your dr.

Take care

Today is about the right time for the last of the anesthesia to have left your body and your hormone levels to start  going haywire.  Our stomach and digestive systems are loaded with hormones and if you remember, during your pre-surgery learning process, you learned that this will happen.  It will not last but it will seem like forever while you are feeling it.  I experienced it at 3 weeks post op.  I wanted nothing more than to die and join my recently deceased mother.  I had lost her and my best friend....food!  Do whatever you can to find relaxation..be i****ching TV, walking, reading, sleeping...(be sure to SLEEP enough! ) Fatigue is to be expected and dealt with by doing what your body needs...resting.  Dehydration can make you depressed also...drink anything you are allowed to and be sure to include tasty liquid treats like pure juices and SF popsicles. (Propel additive is delicious and nutritious) My comfort drink was and still is warm or hot Tea.  Cold drinks make my pouch ache. 

I am only 4 months out, a slow but consistant loser.  I DO NOT experience cravings..just a "want" here and there. When I am hungry it is true hunger (becareful not to get really hungry..you'll eat too much too fast and be uncomfortable)  and unfortunately I have not "dumped" yet.  I can be careless and try something without thinking and that can lead to bad habits. 

Your emotions WILL improve and you WILL be content that you made the WLS decision.  So far I feel no emotional connection to food and look at my procedure as forced portion control......and I LOVE it!  I am so happy that I can look at a 3 oz stuffed flounder fillet and steamed carrots and see a beautiful meal instead of a plate of lasagna and garlic bread as the meal of choice...somehow the mouth doesn'****er so quickly at not so good choices.  And...the wonderful thing is...as you progress..you CAN have the lasanga and bread (in the future), but the amount that will satisfy you will fit on a bread plate and you will be just as happy.
You will win over this situation...we promise...best wishes

sorry to hear you are not feeling too well. These ladies here are great. I noticed today when I went for my pre op and the nurse asked for me to make sure I have people around me supporting me and make sure I didn't start feeling that way....So it seems it's normal. Do you have someone near you who can come take your mind off of everything? email if you need someone to talk to

You will experience a lot of feelings as you go along this journey.  A lot of "why"s" and then as time goes on you will say, "I did the right thing, and would do it again."  Right now, you are thinking, "no way, " but give it a chance, take a few deep breaths and try to focus on why you did this. 

If you are able to get away, you should come out to LB Coffee this Saturday.  If you can't and need to talk, pm me or anyone.  We are here for you.

Hang in there!

Hang in there Girlie ... I think the roughest part is almost over.  I to started to feel alittle depressed.  More depressed about not feeling good.  Not feeling like myself.  I must say though ... each day I feel alittle different.  Alittle more like myself.  It's been like having a really bad cold.  No strength, tired, bored, nervous, anxious, frustrated ...  I know, I know, I know. 


Hang on .. this to will pass

I'm going to try to make it to the LB Coffee.... please try to come.

I felt the same way for the first 4 days but on day 6 i actually started to feel better than i had in years so just hang in there its going to get better.

Just wanted to say that I think we all have that feeling at some point.  I hope things get better for you soon..

Hugs,
Jenn
