Doing Ok -Need Friends & Emotional Support

April Thanks I appreciate it.  If there is anything I could do to help make your journey into this easier please let me know.  I noticed you are from Laurel. I work in Greenbelt.   Take care and by the way you little one is so cute !!

Terri Thanks so much. I really appreciate it!  I work in Silver Spring so we are probably pretty close to each other at work

Hi Terri  I am sorry your not feeling well and I hope your feeling better soon!!!!  I know I will need to ask you some questions in the upcoming weeks so be ready for me.

Hey Terri!  I can tell you that my emotions were on a roller coaster after the surgery.  I cried at the drop of a hat and when my help at home finally left, I wailed like a baby.  It's all normal hon.  Just hang in there, it's going to get much better especially when you lose the weight before work........you're going to beam because people are going to notice right away :)

HI Terri, Everyone else has said it all, but I wanted to tell you I am here if you need to talk and that what you are feeling is completely normal and only temporary. Some days you may wonder why you got WLS and wish to go back.  Other days you are going to be SO GLAD you did this.  It is a major adjustment tryint to let go of using eatign a coping skill and using other means to soothe yourself if you have been eating in response to emotions.  Take care and take it easy.  If the negative mood sticks around more than two days at a time please seek treatment from a mental health professional in case you need help to get through this transition.  We are all in this together.
