Mental Health
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to share this with everyone. Obesity does not just have an effect on you physically, but it also effects your mental health. We laugh it off, and blame something else usually. However, there is sometimes something just below the surface. If you begin the journey to weight loss, and are unsuccessful on your own this can make things worse. I am saying all this to share that for me, after the surgery I am finding a new, and renewed sense of self post op. I haven't even come close to my goal weight yet, but I feel that I am achieving better sleep at night, and more mental clarity throughout the day! It is amazing to me. I am grateful I went with my gut feeling about this procedure. Just don't forget to address you, and your whole being as well.
God helps those who help themselves, amen!
Good morning,
I pray all is well with you today! Alot has changed in my life since I had the sleeve! I am almost 3 months out, and I have lost 40lbs. As a result, I have more confidence, more energy, and my symptoms from the depression are a lot less impacting in my life. I am more positive, and able to complete tasks that I start. I have been able to do all this without medication at this point. However, I have a family doctor that I trust. So, what I decided to do was be open to follow his recommendations. prior to surgery I would find myself cycling through my depression. Meaning it would come on, and I would be stuck in it for a while then it would go away, and then later come back over a period of months. I have been waiting for it to cycle around, but it hasn't and for that I feel blessed! I hope this helps.God bless you
God helps those who help themselves, amen!
