Day 3 and I just lost it...

Okay great so its three days after my surgery, the thought of more chicken broth is actually making me queasy...and then...I just started crying, I mean bawling...for no reason for like a half an hour. I don't even know what upset me.

Have I lost it?

Sorry to hear you were crying but no you didn't lose it. You have been through a great change in your life. It's normal as well as getting sick of the chicken broth. Things do get better. Give it time. Try some sugar free ice pops if you can at this stage. They are Yummy. And help with the swelling.

It's common to feel a bit down after surgery. Also to feel like "what the h*ll did I do?". You are more than likely going thru a little of missing food of any substance. And whether you used it as a crutch for comfort or stress plays a role also. Recognize it for what it is and don't be too hard on yourself. You'll snap out of it. The liquid diet is really the hardest part of the journey - hands down. Just look forward to the mushies!

Hi,

Yup, it happened to me last night (day 7). Just started to cry like a baby. Lucky my husband understood and just gave me a long hug. He got drenched with my tears.

We've been thru a lot of physical and emotional changes. We deserve a good CRY. Hang in there!!

Anathesia (can't spell lol) will sometimes make people deppressed. As others have said, hang in there, it will get better. Best wishes!

the SAME EXACT thing happened to me a few days after surgery. i thought i was going nuts because i just burst out into tears for no apparent reason and was feeling kind of down. in fact at my one week post-op my biggest concern was my mental health because i would just have these random crying bits. i think it is pretty normal though. you went through a BIG change. and honestly, for me, once i was off the liquid diet, the crying went away.

Keep your chin up!!!

It gets better when you start eating again. I am 1 month post-op. My 1st week after surgery I think I cried 6-7 times and I have no idea why! I think its the lack of nutrician, surgery/anesthesia, etc, etc! You have made a great decision to have the band. remember it is only a tool to help "you" make the journey! And you will do great!
