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 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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
