Feeling Really Down

I just had my surgery on 10/2 and I've been doing great. But today I can't stop crying. I feel like my entire life is ruined. I hate watching tv because there is always commercials or people eating. I can't seem to get out of this funk now. I'm feeling like I made a really huge mistake. Maybe I could have done this entire thing with such drastic measures.

I hate crying I have a 7 year-old little girl that I won't let me see down. But I can't stop.

Sorry for such a pathetic post but no one else around me understands.

The worst part is the headache I have. I'm getting my fluids in and think its just from stress and crying.

Yes, crying causes headaches. I found that out at the end of Titanic when the old lady threw the diamond into the sea. Noooooo...!

That's why us guys hate to cry. It's not because we're tough, we hate pain.

Ur having a normal reaction- its buyers remorse- in a few weeks u'll feel better n u'll see the weight fall off- u'll feel better about r decision.

The night of my surgery,in the hospital where you get no sleep anyway, I lay awake and wondered, regretted and blamed myself for what I had done. I thought I was crazy to have done this and SO full of regret.

The next afternoon the dietician walked in and told me one thing I may feel in the first couple of weeks was depression and regret for the surgery and it was a perfectly normal reaction. I thought Thank God , I'm normal. Still "bluesy" as dietician called it, but it comes and goes.
