Yes I think it is perfectly normal. You will go through a flood of different emotions... Hang in there. Tomorrow will be a whole lot better.

I have been the same way, i am on a emotional rollar coaster right now. losing my job last week. have root canal surgery friday morning, first preop appt on the 20th and the surgery the 31st. I have been flooding the tears, just like my eyes have sprung a leak. i know i am stronger then this. but I know i am making great choices in my life. but my heart is saying differently. i am not eating very much, i am sleeping too much. i walk around in a cloud. yall are the only ones i can talk to. i cant show my weakness to my husband or my son. they think i am the all powerful OZ. pretty much. but I am so weak right now.

I got my date just a few weeks ago. Been crying at the drop of a hat lately. I'm like a raw nerve. I am even having trouble focusing right now. Fortunately, my closest friend is a therapist. She keeps a good eye on me.

Thank you all for the kind words! My surgery is the 19th next Wednesday. I think I'm having doubts but I know it will be worth it. It's all happening so fast!

Doubts? I am terrified, but not sure of what...the surgery? Not being what I have always thought of myself to be? It's uncharted territory for me, anyway.

I dont think its doubts I am having, maybe I am mourning the onlly friend who ever comforted me, (food) but like a parent that has passed away just have to mourn it and move on best you can, and what they would want you to do. maybe I should increase my anti depressants a little, i will ask my doc

Yes crying is normal. We all have our moments that a good cry will make us feel better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
