Feeling down......

I will definitely keep an eye out but, it's looks like i'm coming out of my funk already. Thanks for the support.

Hormones can make your life miserable sometimes.I think the surgery has us on a roller coaster ride some days. I know when the sun is not shining I have a hard time and I feel blue.I try to get out in the sun to make me feel better to.

Retail therapy does help.I think just getting out with people makes us feel better to.Call a friend one that is not a Debbie Downer and go out.I hope you feel better.

Thanks a lot, feel a lot better today.

Thanks a lot guys and i'm happy to report that i feel much better today. Went shopping, bought myself some itty bitty shorts among other things. I'm not petit that's for sure but, i'm gonna work it anyways, lol.

Hi there,

I am pre surgery , waiting is hard and I get in funky moods. However I was wondering when I read your post if those of you who have lost such huge amounts of weight ever feel like you are grieving the loss of the "old you". I know in the past when I have tried to lose weight using WW and such I will get about 80 pounds off and then I get "scared" of the new me...and don't always recognize myself...so I am wondering if part of your funk is just you trying to come to terms with the "new you"?  Also for many of us we overeat or over ate....to deal with emotions, to celebrate, to reward, to fit in...when we can no longer do that...we are then almost forced to deal with things upfront...can that cause some yucky feelings as we adjust to the new person we are becoming?

I wonder what others think of this...and for those of you who are post surgery can you speak a little about your experiences about becoming the " new you" while at the same time letting go of the "old you"?

I hope the retail therapy helped :)
