8 Days Post Op

I am having a very hard couple of days.  I want to just eat, eat, eat.  I miss food, I'm doubting my choices.

I'm down 12 pounds, sticking to Stage 2 of the diet right now and just want to flippin' CHEW something. 

I have that "jumping out of my skin" feeling. 

Is all of this normal?

However, I did go on a fantastic walk today and I'm down 11 pounds.  Very exciting.

I snap easily at my husband and son.... I don't like this, please tell me this will pass!!!!!!!!!?????

Hi there,

First of all I am pre surg. However I can tell you that my cousin had the surg. a year ago and I also hear this from many, that it's normal. One your hormones are going nuts because of the change that your body is going thru. Two you where use to dealing with your emotions by eating food, and you can't do that anymore. I would talk to your honey and son and just keep reminding them of this, and assure them that you still love them.

Thank you so much for your responses.  Luckily, I have my first group meeting tomorrow, which I am really looking forward to.

You guys have been great, what a wonderful place this is.

Yes, it is normal.  I even broke down and cried one time because I was seeing food on TV, my family had to eat, and I was only drinking my food.  Once you begin to chew food, you will be OK.  Hang in there girl, you will be fine.
