Im almost 6 weeks out & I can still cry at a radio commercial or a birthday card or pretty much anything!! I believe its one of those minimally discussed normal post-surgery side effects but if it continues for several more weeks or your thoughts change (suicidal, etc), obviously mention it to your dr.

I TOTALLY get what you're saying! I found out a week after surgery that I had a leak @ spent the next 3 weeks in the hospital. I had SOOOOOO many regrets... I felt guilty for putting my wonderful boyfriend through all that & felt like I was being selfish. I cried... A LOT!! I can tell you that it does pass though. Im starting to feel better now & the weight has finally started coming off & THAT'S what will change your mind. It's not easy to get into the routine of eating according to this procedure but it will happen & your definition of a "normal meal" will be different but gratifying. Just be patient & it'll all come together. All the research I did pre-op led me to believe that others were dancing in the streets just days after surgery & suddenly I was in the massive minority but my direction is changing & Im seeing the positive a lil more each day. Keep your chin up!

I turn 36 on 3/5 & surgery is scheduled for 3/19 so Im really excited to see my physical transformation from age 36 to 37!! Cant wait!!
