    DownInSocal got a reaction from Smilecharmer in Month Six And Feeling Very Emotional.. It's All Over The Place   
    You are far from crazy!
    I noticed right away how different the world treated me. Amazing how much better the service is when you are not heavy. :-/ It took me a long time to realize I was no longer the fat girl in the room.
    My life did not calm down for two years after surgery. I was in a constant state of personal (and physical) change.
    I would suggest getting some counseling if you can afford it or your insurance covers it. The problems that drove us to eat are still there when we are thin. We just don't have food for comfort anymore.
    I promise you will look back at this time fondly in a few years. You are already an incredible person for even doing this. Those who have not had to prep for this surgery, go through it, fast, deal with pain, etc just don't understand how it changes you and your life.
    My surgeon told me that my hormones would not even begin to return to normal for a year to a year and half. He was right.
    Best of luck and you look AWESOME!
