I find myself crying and becoming emotional over EVERYTHING !

For instance, I was at red light trying to make a right turn and I started balling right there and crying ,"there are so many cars ! Why won't they stop coming."

Another example, I went into target today and a little girl pulled on my dress and said , "when I get big and strong, I want to look just like yoooouuuuu. You are pretty" . I didn't even know her, she was like 4 and I started crying ! Like boo hooing.

I'm not depressed but I AM stressing and I really don't know why .

I am just soooooo ugh ... Wish I had a word but I don't .

I don't miss the foods I loved but I do miss the ability of having a choice of choosing them

Thanks for reading

I am almost 4 months post op and went thru spells of crying too. They passed and I have not had one in a while. I do think it is a bit of depression... food was our friend ... its like a divorce. I think its all adjustment period. Some people take longer to adjust to the new you and life style than others.

I've been crying buckets! I'm a hair trigger. 1 week post op.

New Life Started 07/24/12

I had a little bout myself. Honestly I have been trying to help out with stuff by living. What I mean is I went out to Breakfast and had some fat free cottage cheese and a cup of decaf tea.

I made a sugar free cheesecake for some friends and while they had some cheesecake with cherrie topping I had some of the fake cheesecake that jenneliza posted. Just remember life goes on without the food. Just remember to have your old friends around if u want! U may not eat the cheesecake u make but u can enjoy the friends and the company.

Also remember that your body is changing rapidly!!! You will be ok just try to relax and breath.

I'm 3 weeks out and I have meltdowns often. My friends that have had the surgery tell me it is normal and will get better. Hang in there!

I was crying all the the first month!! I felt embarrass sometimes. I was alway extremely mean sometimes from frustration. It goes away gradually.
