Help

Hey I need help im 2 weeks post op.  And Im down 20lbs but Im not happy and have noone to talk to or relate to.  Can anyone help????

Honey, that is EXACTLY what this board is for!  We've all had ups and downs - come here and share them, ask questions, we're here!

What has you so unhappy?  Is there a specific issue?  Or could it be the raging hormones spilling through your body as they're released from the FAT you're losing?  We've all felt THAT to some degree - it sucks, but it isn't forever, either.

On the other hand, if you are sincerely depressed, NOW would be a good time to hook up with a psychologist - I'm sure some of the fine people here will have recommendations and can even hook you up with someone who knows and understands WLS!

PLEASE don't be a stranger!!  Helping people is one of the things that makes EVERYONE feel better!

I agree with Darla - you have come to the right place! Feel free to vent, ask questions, celebrate, and we will be right there with you. 

 

Congrats on your 20# you are off to a great start! 

Welcome!! Keep an eye on the board --- we meet for support groups and coffees weekly.. come join if you are nearby (or even if you are not, it's worth the drive)!! There is lots of support to be had!!

WELCOME!!!  Congrats on your surgery and 20# down!!!  WoooHoooooooo!!!  Everyone here can relate!!  Ask away!  We have several pre and post op's here.  Hang in there!  The first few weeks are tough!!!
Healing hugs!

First off your feeling normal... lots of hormones are being released into your blood stream from all that wonderful fat going away now.   I was very very NOT impressed with my surgery after it.
I felt like crap!! 
Now fast forward ( which seems insignificant now to you )  its great and it will be for you too.

Try not to fall into the sadness with this... view this time with curiosity and " Wow what crap is in my poor system thats leaving it now... good job way to treat your body"   then youll feel better that you DID this and that its gonna change!

PS NO ONE loves purses more than I do............ God help us if we ever meet!   LOL

Come to Signal Hill Coffee saturday... 830am I guarentee youll feel loved and better when you leave!

Hugs..hang in and write if you need too!

Hello!  I can safely say I know how you feel.  I have so many thoughts going through my head and I feel completely alone in all of it.  My friends from work email me and ask how much have I lost.  I feel bad saying the same number more then once I feel like they are all expecting me to walk in after being gone for three weeks and to be a size 5.  That causes so many bad thoughts in my head.  My husband trys to be supportive but he just doesnt understand.  I come to these forums almost everyday never posting always just reading.  Its like I have a friend to listen to.  I'm sure everyone has gone through these same issues but when your home alone its hard to think anything else.
Hang in there it will get better.

You're in Hopkins, eh?  As in, Hopkins, Minnesota, home of the Depot Coffeehouse? 

Methinks you ought to SERIOUSLY consider stopping in there Saturday morning for a cup o'joe and some hugs, and laughs, and - well, ya just never know...

Yes I live in "the" hopkins as in the one that has the Depot.  I even work next to it at SuperValu.. I'm just extremely shy and have a very odd personallty that most people find to be brash and unconventual. Someday I may work up the guts.
