Yeah! I find myself emotional about the smallest things!

Hello all, I've toyed with posting about this because I don't want to be a downer to everyone. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on November 20th. I am in my second week post-op and am in my first week of all liquids and protein shakes. I have been doing the protein shakes with the liquids since Sunday (four days ago). I am absolutely miserable. I find myself sleeping later that is normal for me, I have no motivation to do anything, and I do not want to drink anything. I find that I can cry at the drop of a hat, especially whenever someone asks me how I am doing. My next appointment with me doctor is on December 11, when I will be able to move onto the pureed stage. I am dreading even having pureed foods. I don't feel hungry, but just sad and like a muted version of myself. I do not want to be a burden on my boyfriend by constantly moping around and I have gotten out of the house, but it has not help. I am a full-time teacher and grad student but I still find myself thinking about what I am missing out on constantly. Someone please tell me that they felt like this too. I do not know what to do and I have so much longer to go until I can have real food. Thanks
