Ok, I am pretty tough and can deal with a lot of stress, I thought and I know that I use to eat to deal with emotions. But I did not think it would be so difficult to manage my anxiety after being banded. I went through a time when I was just grumpy, now I feel so vulnerable, tonight I almost started crying in a group because I got so mad at a person in the group I was facilitating...that can't happen..I get out , exercise, and other stuff to relax...anymore suggestions!:mad2:

This is such an emotional journey for us, isn't it? It's like we've lost our "go to" escape route (food) when these emotions come up. I think you're doing okay -- just be patient with yourself, and know that this is a big deal, this change we're going through. You'll be back to yourself as you continue to adjust. I've had the same thing, and it's getting better all the time. Just being aware that you may be a little "high strung" right now can be a reminder to try to give yourself time to think before you react right away. You'll be okay. : )
