Help!

 I am currently one week post VSG. I am feeling so emotional. Is this normal? I know that I can't eat but my God, this liquid diet is killer. Please someone encourage me. I am strong due to the knowledge that I aquired. But I can't help but to feel sad sometimes. Did I make a mistake?

No you didn't make a mistake. You tool the initiative to become a healthier and better you. I'm 4 weeks and I have had good days and bad. It's a constant struggle but I try to think positive. When you start losing weight its going to be all worth it. Keep your head up. Feel free to PM me. God Bless.

 Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that. I just feel a little distant from life. And I still get in the kitchen and cook for my family. That is easier than watching them actually eating it. lol

I was not just emotional for the first few weeks postop... I was borderline nutty because I was so emotional. I literally had a breakdown at a local fast food restaurant because I couldn't find anything on the menu that would work with the food stage I was in... it was ugly. I just wanted to feel normal again, and instead I felt isolated and ostracized.

I promise it gets better. This liquid phase feels like forever now, but when it passes you'll be amazed at how quickly it becomes nothing more than a blurry memory. This is temporary, and the long term situation is a million times better than anything I could have imagined beforehand.

Just keep telling yourself that this will pass, and that you only have to keep it up for x number of days... you'll be eating again before you know it. It will all be worth it.

 Thank you so much. Now it's looking even better with the wuppor of others.

 Five days post op and I am both labile and flakey. I just think this stuff takes some getting used to. I also feel happy that I am feeling relatively well, not hungry, not feeling deprived, not in pain and losing weight.

This is normal and it will pass.  Just about everyone gets this "buyers remorse" period.  Stick to plan and it will get much better.

I'm pretty sure I read there is a biological reason for this too.....like your hormones are seriously out of whack and it takes awhile to stablize. 

Have faith!

 Thank you. My faith has gotten that much better having joined this forum and meeting all of you great people. Thanks again. I am encouraged. Better and healthier life.

 The emotions are a byproduct of hormones stored in the fat cells.  You are burning fat at the fastest rate possible right now.  As a result those stored hormones are flooding your system.  

You are not alone.  It happens to all.of us.  On about the third or fourth day I broke down and cried like a baby for no reason whatsoever.  I felt like I was going mad, that was simply not me.

Bear with this.  If you rock the sleeve, you will soon feel better than you ever have in your life.

 Wow! Our breakdown was on the same day. The fourth day I had it and cried on my husband and he felt so bad. But I can honestly say that I can do this. Especially with all of your help. Thank you
