I am scheduled two weeks from today and the last several days I find that I get emotional pretty easy. I'm nervous, excited, scared.....all of the above but I do cry a lot lately. I keep thinking about how my life is getting ready to change and I do get emotional. It's been such a struggle and I have felt so fat and ugly for so long and I'm finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I know this will be a tough journey but I'm ready. Anybody else going through this?

About a week before surgery a good friend told me I was blade running (running on an edge of a blade - slightest misstep and you get cut). I found that I got irritated with people pretty quickly. My surgeon mentioned I seemed crazy calm. It was a strange emotional state. I am accustom to the crazy calm feeling when I am in high stress situations. It was after surgery that I got emotional. I think it was everything finally getting caught up with me. It passes. I use essential oils to help balance out my moods, along seeing a therapist regularly. Figure out what works for you and take it a day at a time. Everything comes together in the end.

"No one can prepare you for how hard the first 6 weeks is." Now I'm really scared!

not necessarily bad, friend... just a lot of healing, rest and Thinking before eating...

I will be starting my pre op diet soon with surgery scheduled for the end of Jan. since the post op diet will consist of purée foods can someone give advice on maybe purchasing one of those high speed blenders to purée the food .they are expensive and would hate to purchase something that's not needed. thanks!
