I am 7 weeks post-op. I have not ever been an emotional person. And I am in HELL now. I am/was a happy person, always smiling. A joke to tell, a friend to make. A smile on my face. But not for the last 4 weeks or so. I am moody, bitchy, I'm always hungry, and hate people and life. I caused a huge scene at Safeway knocked over a display stand. ( it was for somthing so dumb and petty) I'm depressed,sad,and pissed off at the world. I hide in my house.

This is not me. My personal physician totally checked me out. (Full cbc, urine,labs) everything came back fine. Im always constipated now. I cry all the time over nothing. And I'm getting worried. This is not me. I am not this crazy Lady that's been around the last month. ( well I'm crazy) but in a intellectual I know I'm crazy, so I can't be crazy way.....

I am good at faking it till you make it, a smile for the world. But I am dying inside. Did this happen to anyone. How can this be happening to me in the middle of this amazing journey I'm on. I'm losing weight, 81pds counting pre Surgery diet. I'm modeling again, I have men throwing them self at me. ( I don't have a sexy drive) WTF ( and I was always ready to go, like cat in heat who's my daddy horny) before this. Wtf is going on. Please tell me I'm not alone and it will pass. My Dr didn't have a clue, and I am at a loss.. This is hard for me to admit, because I hate weakness. But I'm scared now, and need answers before I snap and someone gets hurts.

It was a amazing day, I have been caring for my 90 year old neighbor that fell and broke his hip. I drove 6 hrs to pick him up a new scooter to get around in so he could come home. It's a great feeling when you do and give for others who really appreciate it. And he's has helped me threw this slump so much. He doesn't have anyone in my life neither do I. So we kinda take care of each other now. And I am so great full for all my blessings in life and he never takes anything for granted and it's a nice reminder sometimes........life is what you make it

Hi jess,

I am sorry you are going through is. Believe me I understand I am 2 and half months out now and I am dealing with the same angry and sadness. I was never emotional person and didn't think this would happen to me but it did.

All I can do for you is tell you what has helped me so far.

First I had to come to terms to why I was feeling like this which was my love for food, I used food to deal with everything I didn't want to deal with. Anytime I was happy I eat,when I was sad I eat ,when I felt alone I eat. And now that I didn't have food to fill that hole I felt angry.

Which then made me feel like I had punished myself by having this sugary. I had to take away something I loved so much just to be "normal" which then made me sad and frustrated with myself. I mean this is what I had to myself?

When I could no longer deal with the way I was feeling I knew I needed help to understand what was going on. I got help and she made me understand that this was something I HAD TO DO! So that I can live the life I wanted live.

*To have positive affirmation

* when ever I had a negative thoughts to take deep mindful breaths. And say I did this for me.

* to find things I like to do outside of eating and learning new coping methods.

* take morning walks

* join WLS support group

These thinks have help me a lot, when ever I question how I am going to get throw this I take 4 deep breaths and don't let these negative thoughts get to me.

I know it is hard but I promise it gets easier you have to let yourself get help, because we can all use help at times. This is a emotional roller coaster and when that roller coaster dips we need someone to hold on to or scream with.

Good luck and know that there is a room full of people that you can talk to always. Hugss
