Going To Try For A Better Day Tomorrow

I've been having a tough time emotionally and mentally.  Today was my first day back to work since surgery and I'm exhausted.  Hoping for a good night's sleep and that I wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow. 

Poor Ginger is like my WL Mom and Im the child throwing a tantrum (sigh). God Love her and hope she doenst think Im nuts LOL.

The Lap Band forum has me all over the place in my head.  I definitely need to stay off there for awhile as I'm not getting any positive energy from that side.

I'm almost through my 4 weeks of pure liquid hell.

Here's to humpday and hoping to get over the hump tomorrow! 

Hang in there! It will get better!

Never been there, but I'm confused ... what's going on in the lap band forum thats making you all over the place?  You've got the post-surgery blues  it seems, which is completely normal.  You will be feeling better as soon as you are able to start soft foods and feel human again.

Good morning Nikki...

Hope you got some good sleep and that today is a better day!

Nikki, I am so sorry you are feeling rough. I hope you start to feel better soon. Thank God for Ginger. I think many here can feel your pain. You are not nuts!!If the band board has got you crazy just take a rest. Sometimes I find that if I hear or read to much it makes me crazy. I will support you the best I can even though I am not in your shoes. I am sure we will all try to encourage you and give you positive info here.

Nikki,

Those of us that are post-op have been there and done that!  Believe us when we tell you that it does get better!

Hang in there,

Nikki,

I am sorry you are having a rough time emotionally.  I hope you had a good night's sleep.
I want you to know that you are not alone. After surgery I had a tough time emotionally and physically.  I had to stop posting on the main forum because the people were not too friendly or helpful.  I remained here on the MD forum and there was plenty of wonderful people that supported me when I was crying incontrollably.  Estrogen is being dumped out quickly in your system and that will wreck havoc on your emotions. Just know that it will even out for you soon.

I was told by one particular person here to take it day by day and sometimes hour by hour. You know when I learned to that I realized that it got easier.  One day you will wake up and feel like a new person and all this will be a distant memory for you.

I am here if you ever need to talk. 

Big hugs to you.

Nikki, I went through that too, and I sincerely hope it gets better for you quickly!  Hope you have a great day today!

Thanks everyone!   I appreciate the affirmation that others have felt the same as me.  I can't say that I regret surgery - I'd never go that far but of course have the ups and downs and reservations evening though I have lost weight.  It's that pattern of gaining and losing all these years and you so much want to believe that this time its over, but until you get there it's hard to imagine.  I am not a pipe dreamer!  I'm 100% reality! 

Please know that I am trying. Minute by minute actually!  So far so good today!  I'm going to try to get down a protein shake in a few! 

Be back in bit!

xoxo
Nikki
