First day back at work.... Hurts to sit up in my chair for too long. Gotta suck that up.

What really got me to tears is a friend trying to tell me that I can't have gum. WTF!!!!!! Who had the damn surgery???? Who's gone through all the classes and pre op visits???? ME!!!!!! I know what I am allowed to do per my doctor. All she did was sit thru 1 seminar the office puts on to tell people about the procedures that are offered!! Made me so mad!!! I asked her to not tell me what I can and cannot do- that I am sure she was just trying to be thoughtful but I know what I am doing!!!!

I came home and cried. :-( Don't know why it upset me so much.

{{{HUGS}}} I am overly emotional pre-surgery, nervous to think how I may react to people after the surgery.

I'm SO emotional right now too! I'm a week out from surgery (and doesn't help I'm expecting my period in a day or two). I called my best friend yesterday to invite her out to a baseball game on Sunday since I'll be a wreck waiting around all day on Sunday for surgery the next day. She flat out said no...then backtracked with some excuses. It shouldn't have upset me...but it did. I cried on and off for hours.

My big annoyance at work was my boss filling up the huge communal candy jar that sits right across from the bathroom I visit 20 times a day with all these damn liquids. Oh well...4 more days of work I hope things start getting easier for you

Oh, love, it's ok, you just went through a big thing, your body, your hormones are trying to figure out what's going on. I usually say, I'm pretty sure I can have it, but I will check with my NUT that held all my nutrition classes and make sure. Don't worry though, I don't think she'll butt in again since you told her.

hey you stood up for yourself! thats an achievement im my book and you were nicer about it than i would have been, lol. i commend you, ignore the idiot! there will always be someone with an opinion.

Sounds like little miss "you can't have gum" might be a little bit envious of you having a surgery that she hasn't had.

ohhh i bet you R right, the "i dont have the juevos to have the surgery myself but im going to project my horrible self image onto you by making you feel like i have control over you and when you let me have it ill run and hide" syndrome

lol

I cried, I got mad at my boyfriend for stupid things, I think I wanna cry right now- lol

Seriously so many emotions going on- I just keep myself busy- looking for new hobbies- it's perfectly normal :-)

Yeah our emotions are extreme and over the top. Just try not to completely push people away and they will probably forgive you lol. I was a crier anyway, so the first month rocked me.

Oh and as long as you don't swallow the gum it is ok. The worry is blockage. After my stomach was healed I started chewing again. I chew sugar free orbit bubble mint. Everyday.
