Crazy Emotional

[SarahG0417 13]

I don't have a surgery date yet, I have my second consult with my surgeon next week, and my first NUT appt the same day, I have lost 6 pounds so far. I am really emotional. I don't mean a little teary and upset. I mean hard core crying at everything (worse than pregnancy), depressed, and I just want to go to bed and sleep until this all gets worked out and I am going to surgery, or better yet wake up after surgery in recovery. I don't know what to do, I just feel hopeless and alone, and I don't know.....

Has anyone else gone through depression and hopelessness pre-op? What did you do?

Definitely!! I can related. When I made the final decision to have the surgery I remember just shaking and not sleeping with many fears. That subsided and then I started getting really excited. It was a great decision for me and i wish you all the best!!

I feel what u say! I too have been stressing and it soo hard to b on my liquid diet considering I'm a stressful eater... I don't have much support either, they tell me it's kinda selfish and they show no interest or they tell me to lose "normal" and stop taking the easy way out.. But little do they know it's going to be a hard journey, but I will succeed and so will you!! You have all the encouragement here and we have all gone thru what u have or will have! So we can all relate... Don't cry please it will get better.. Just imagine : a second chance, a new beginning, a new life!! * new clothes don't get discouraged or sad we are here for you !!!
