just wondering

does anyone on here feel antisocial? I really haven't wanted to see any of my friends or talk to them since surgery. It's not that they haven't been supportive... Maybe it's me... I feel so sleepy all the time... I'm back to my normal work routine, but some days I don't feel like being here... like right now... my boss has been very understanding, but he's going through his own drama right now and probably doesn't need any crap from me... so i've just been laying low at work and trying to get my work caught up. I only took a week off, and I think I wasn't ready but this place would collapse without me here... Michelle

wow I found someone like me, I dont know what the hell it is either but i have layed very low, i only email i havent went and hung out with noone I been very distant since my surgery, i am having alot of differnt emotions and I think I am just scared, i feel like i am not a differnt person but i am in a differnt world now. I am very aggitated get very mad easily and are bodys are not the same. I was just talking to my mom about this last night i have done my make up and went somewhere only twice since surgery, and I was always gone before at the lake out partying out danceing well they danced i hung out and drank. now its like i just dont feel like myself, and I am the most outgoing person ever, they say its our body greiving we go thur saddness maddness and i dont know what else but i feel ya girl, I wish I could just find a cool group of gastric bypass people to become friends with casue they all know how it is now, like this weekend we are going to hubbys company picnic and i am kinda blah about it, and i use to love it go have a few beers play horeshoes eat talk be fun, now i am feeling like i want to sit to the side and be left alone, and i cant be like that cause it aint me, if you figure it out let me know k, cause i want to be back to myself,

yeah i feel like i'm in left field all the time... i don't understand it either... i'm normally pretty out going and at least go kick it with my friends once in a while, but now I don't even want to talk on the phone... maybe it is grieving, i don't know... i'll keep you posted... i've been getting dressed and putting on make up. I've enjoyed getting ready for work the last couple weeks because i'm fitting into my smaller clothes. it's so weird, i just go home and crash every night. i'm not a lazy person, so it's driving me nuts!

i too sometimes feel a little anti social.........i think though it's because when i get home from work...........i am just exhausted..........plus it's hard when most of my friends and i always met to go out to eat or ice cream etc............now not eating hardly at all............makes a difference they still want to do that and i don't........i think that eventually though it will be all good.

Well I don't know about you, but sometimes I get this feeling that my weightloss is sort of an entertainment for my friends. They are proud and supportive, but they are so focused on numbers (57 pounds since june 20th) that I just dont want to deal that attention. I was an athelete when I was younger and so were most of my friends. Except I became the heavy guy after a major knee injury and many years of partying when I was younger. Most of my friends are in crazy shape. My best friend does iron man competitions. So they want to hear every detail about everything and it is exhausting. So that makes me feel a little anti social. Then there is the energy thing too. Taking my iron daily has been really helpful but it tastes like the bottom of a long distance runner's foot. Right now our bodies are basically malnutritioned. Take each day the best you can. I know personally I have been doing better each day, and you will too. Good Luck, Bill
