I need Answers please!!!!

Hi All, It's that time again. Yes, for me to vent. My support systems are in order, my weight is pulling off fast, but fast in who's eyes? Not mine that is for sure. Oh you look so good, to who? Not me. I know you feel good, No not really. Sure I can eat just about anything and not get sick, at least for now. Be thankful they say, oh but I am thankful. So what are you trying to say they ask? I am doing this thing because I have no choice at his point I say. But in the meantime can anybody tell me when does it get better. I have talked with my therapist, I have talked with my Lisa C. I have talked with Lisa D. I have talked with Wendy, I have talked with Debbie and tons of others. But when do I feel better I ask. Now what I need to know is the real deal. I need to talk to someone who is having the emotional difficulties that I am having. I am not sure what is wrong, is it just me, am I the only one that feels this way. I mean I read post after post after post and I hear all the glitz and glamour, but I have yet to come across anyone that has really displayed any real emotional trauma. If you are out there please respond because I need to talk. If you do not wanna tell your story on air please email me privately. I just need to know am I the only person that feels this way. I can give very good advice, and I can give lots of support and say encouraging things and mean them from the bottom of my heart, but I can not take my own advice, I am terrible at being my own support person. I am not trying to scare and new post ops or pre ops, this does not affect everybody the same, but for me it is beyond anything I could have evr conceived mentally and before I loose my mind I just need to know is it me? Am I the only person that feels this way? Adrienne

Hi there, I'm so glad I took a look at this today. No my dear--it's not just you. I had my surgery Nov. 5 and I'm down 32 lbs. Great huh--well maybe if I felt good then it would be. I have no energy whatsoever. It is a daily struggle for me and all I get from the doctors is that my body needs time to heal. Well, even though I am quite large I have always had an abundance of energy. Now I'm not worth two dead flies!!! I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for my first B12 shot (I hope this helps me) so that I can absorb more nutrients from my food. I don't know about anyone else but the only reason I did this was to become healthier and feel better. I have yet to feel better you know. The only co-morbidity I have is asthma. My blood pressure has always been low, I've never had high colesterol, diabetes, sleep apnea or any of the other common morbidities...and they tell me that it would be normal for me to regret having this surgery but I can tell you that every day I feel trashed energy wise--is another day I regret having it. I truly wish I had never done it!!!
