I seem to be adjusting poorly, emotionally speaking. I've never had surgery like this and I feel like a complete burden to everyone in my life. Did anyone else have these feelings? I'm not even enjoying my weightloss because of unexpected medical bills, lack of.. romance.. so to speak (I've never felt more undesirable).

*sigh*

I just feel like I'd give anything to be "normal" again.

I am sorry that this part of your journey has been rough. Right now you are just overloaded, but I assure you that it will get easier as you get used to your new needs. I am certain that no one feels you are a burden. Your needs are just different right now. If you are on mess or of you are not, it may be time to check in with them. I know from my own experience and from the boards, that the med that used to work may need to be changed. I had to have by dosage altered to a 2 time a day instead of the once a day. Keep coming back here for support. And give up, you have come too far.

So sorry meant to say don't give up.

Thanks MOMW! I'm not really on meds, thankfully! I'm just, overwhelmed. :-)

Thanks for the encouragement, because there's certainly NO turning back! Hahaha!

It's a lot to adjust to but take one day at a time. Call your doctor or nutritionist if this continues as they may have some suggestions. You are not a burden!!!!! Keep us posted!!

Your not alone on this , it's ironic that I came across your post. I have recently felt the same way , I have lost 42 ibs since Nov 13, 2012 and I am happy about it and excited , but I find myself getting all worked up more often and very easily. Even when i was at my highest weight 237 , I had never had any health issues or concerns , but the last 2 doctor visits my primary doctor is starting to have concerns that my blood preasure is a little bit elevated , I told him that I was just feeling alot of stress at work and that one night , I felt like i was having a panic attack ....... he gave me some anxiety pills and told me that if I ever felt like that again to take the medication , but he rather that I did not and urged me to tell him if and when I find myself taking it more frequent.

I have not taken it , but I still find myself getting all worked up and feeling kinda down .
