I am not a crier but one week out I have started crying, not loud boo hooing but huge silent tears start rolling over the slightest thing. The look on my husbands face was total shock.

Anyone else experience anything similar?

It was a hard transition. There have been a few times I'e wanted to cry. Especially because I was so nauseous and I could get anything down. I was fantasizing about being able to eat like I used to and it was so frustrating to know that I will never be able to eat like that again. So many people on here talk about moderation... I know I can eat most anything EVENTUALLY as long as I'm careful but the idea of taking a couple bites of a REALLY good burger just does not satisfy the way thoughts of eating a WHOLE burger does! As you start to feel better and add more things back into your diet I'm sure you'll feel better. I started to feel better just being able to get one Protein shake in... can't do more than that without feeling like crap but I'm losing weight so I'll deal (not that I have much choice now right). Remember you're grieving what life used to be like AND your hormones are going nutso!

Good luck!

Yes! It was the weirdest thing! For the first two weeks I would cry at just about anything. Like I would drive by a homeless person and start feeling sad for them and my eyes would start tearing up. It was quite annoying. Now, I'm back to normal so to speak.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
