Why am I so depressed?
I'm 6 weeks post op and have lost 32 lbs. Not as much as I thought I would have lost by this point, but more than I would have lost on my own. But I can't shake this feeling of depressions and anxiety. I thought I would be feeling better about myself and have a different outlook on life, but not yet. How long was it before your outlook on life got better??
Yes, I agree with the others...just hormones. Try to do stuff that makes you happy, try to counter balance the crazy hormones that are flying around in your body thanks to the weight loss. Stop focusing on the weight loss like it hasn't been enough, focus on that you have never lost that much on your own like you said. 32 lbs in 6 weeks is awesome!
I agree, get out and move around. I have been feeling a little off and walked 10 laps yesterday and left like Rocky...like literally Rocky from the movie, with my own background music and all...LOL
Try to focus on the positive and know that it doesn't last forever.

Hi Jan!
Yep...absolutely hormones. Not sure of your personal stats...but if you're female and have not yet reached menopause...you might find that TOM ( and as you approach TOM) can REALLY do a number on your mood post VSG!
Trick is to persevere thru it...it will lift!
BTW= Congrats on being in Onederland!!!
Peace
