Feeling Really Emotional...

By Dawn

· 1433 views

I have been doing my reading, research, and starting to stock "My Cupboard". I am mostly packed for the hospital. I have cleaned out my whole wardrobe of "ugly" clothes and put aside my "too small" clothes for later. I am still really EXCITED about the surgery. I am also emotional! Everything that is a distraction in my life is wearing on my nerves. I am finally taking the time to take care of myself and I resent all the petty stuff that is distracting me. I just want to be relaxed and focused. Even working out I feel frustrated. At first I loved working out but the more I am "pushed" out of my comfort zone...ie until I am going to vomit. The more I don't want to be around them. So, I am going to try a couple of sessions at the gym by myself. I am hoping that this moodiness is just PMS and nerves. Ughhh.

    Hey Dawn… I hope that the solo sessions help! I don’t know if it’ll help any to know but I was an emotional wreck the last couple weeks leading up to my surgery I can’t even tell you how many times I would apologized to my hubby and thanked him for dealing with it so well J

    I know that I turned into a hermit...all I did was stay in my house and sew (I quilt) during those last two weeks before THE DAY! I would go out and lay in the sun, and then back inside when it got too hot. I couldn't stand being out among others for the most part. GOod luck! and I'm happy you're almost there!

    Hello Dawn,

    I feel the same way. All my clothes are to little. I don't go anywhere because I am not comfortable with my size. I had a car accident 15 years ago, which left me with a replace hip, and a partcially paralyzed ankle. I had to have a ankle replacement and have severe arthritis. I am unable to walk without pain, and my weight is growing. I have high cholestrol and blood pressure. I am looking forward to being healthy, and the weight coming off my leg. My surgery is set for 11/29/12 and I feel good about my decision. I'm currently 5'4 and 229 pounds. Hope to see you soon and good luck. Stay encourage and motivated.

    I feel like I just wrote your entry. I have gastric bypass surgery scheduled December 12, they will be using he Davinci method (robotic surgery). I too cleaned my closet out and I had like an emotional breakdown wanting to retire, being scared and all sort of emotions going through my head. I had my hissy fit and now I am ok. I think I just wanted an opportunity to feel sorry for my self. Best of wishes to you on your surgery. I will be poraying for you. I already have my bag packed and I am 22 days out.

    Try to take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, one moment at a time. One person can only do so much, for yourself and others.

    I too felt alot of emotions! I had my GB surgery on 11/29/12. The day before, I just slept the whole day, and didn't even get my vitamins, or anything. I was just scared. Thank God for my family who got all I needed either the night before or the next day after coming home. It was amazing how all of them came to help me. You are not alone in this. Love, Nicky
