Post Op - Sept 23rd - EMOTIONS ARE OFF THE CHARTS

[StephanieLane 0]

I had my lap band surgery 9-23-13. On day 5 post op and the emotions are SO OVERWHELMING. I chose to do this surgery because of health issues. I know I have made the right choice but my emotions are SO OUT OF WHACK!! Pain from surgical sights is getting better but I just can't seem to stop the crying!! I know what my life long love affair with food (the bad ones) has come to an abrupt end but the feeling of being out of control is just horrible. I know it has only been 5 days and my body is going through drastic changes but PLEASE PLEASE someone tell me this is normal.

When I used to feel like that I would remind myself that I would be in control after four weeks and plan on sampling all the bad foods I could think of, in smaller portions. You haven't given away all control, you still are in control, although you will have to be careful how you eat and the amounts of whatever it is that you choose to eat.
