Emotions Are Crazy Like--2 Days Before Wls



Recommended Posts

My emotions are making me think I"m crazy. I'm excited, sad, happy, nervous, anxious, etc. I was sitting on the floor hugging my big ole dog and crying into her fur. WTH???? Anyone else feel like this too?

I'm waiting to hear about being approved and I'm like that already so I don't think you are crazy. I figure its normal and just remember why you are doing this :) Good Luck

I think what you are going through is perfectly normal. I would be worried if you weren't having different emotions. This is life changing event we are facing. I am not that close to my sx yet, only about half way through the process, but I have had a few emotional moments myself and I can see it getting worse when it gets very close to the time. Good luck to you, hug you dog and anyone else you can and remember this is for a longer and healthier life.

I am worried because I am not nervous... People keep asking me if I am nervous and I'm honestly not... I am just so ready!

I'm 12 days from surgery and my emotions are all over the place too. I'm mostly nervous as the time gets closer. Starting my liquid diet tomorrow. My friends keep asking me if I'm ready and all I can say is that I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

My surgery is 11 days away and although I seem calm on the surface my emotions are all over the place inside. I am anxious about how it will feel to swallow. That's the one thing that can't be worked out mentally. I can't predict the physical. Also, I haven't been "small" since my 30's. It's hard to even visualize. Deep breath...Believe

Omg, yes!! I can totally relate. I'm scheduled for Wednesday and my family doesn't want me have surgery. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I think if i wasn't on an antidepressant I would be even worse!!

Aren't big ole dogs the best????

My surgery is on the 10th and I am starting to feel my emotions going all over the place. The thing that keeps me calm the most is knowing that I am doing something for a healthier and longer life. It gets hard at times, but when I feel like crying I just let it out, that seems to make feel better even if for a little while. My hardest issue was starting the liquid diet. It is not as bad now as it was at first but it still is not the easiest thing in the world. If it were I do not think most of us would be going through the WLS in the first place right? Great news though you are not alone. Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
