Woke up this morning so so sad

I have no clue why but I woke up this morning so sad. My emotions are all over the place. I just start crying for no reason. I went down to the lobby for breakfast to get something to eat. And all of a sudden I was ready to ball right there. I had to go back to my room. I am sure once Patty comes and I get a shower I will feel better but for now I am just so blah.

I actually put my preop skinny levis on with a tank to see if they fit and maybe cheer me up. They do fit still thank goodness but did nothing for how I feel. I will post those pics and my 3 day post op pic yesterday. You will notice my thighs are so swollen I no longer have kneecaps and the bruising has started. I know it will all go down look great eventually. I am thrilled with my TT and thigh cut since they are extremely straight. Friends are welcome to see.

Hope everyone has a great day

Hang in there Tammy!  You look so AWESOME!!  I think it's normal to have some post-op blues.  I've heard others talk about it.  This shall pass!

We are all here for you!!

Thanks Dawn. I just got off the phone with my hubby and he made me feel  a little better. I liken this to when I had the blues after giving birth to my son..just sad for absolutely no reason that I can pinpoint.....Patty should be here any minute and with a hair wash and some sunshine it will get better :-)

I'm glad your hubby's phone call helped.  Enjoy your day and rest!

Again...try to think about how awesome you look...and it will continue to get better and better!

My first week post op has been so emotional for me! I have cried a lot and have no idea why! I didn't get this after my RNY, BA or gallbladder surgery, why now???

Today is going good so far. I did get the drain out yesterday, I didn't think it was bothering me, but maybe it was......

Off to look at your pictures. I just posted mine

Hi Tammy!
It's common for emotions to be all over the place.  Not only did you put your body through major stress and trauma which it is trying to heal from but you also made major physical changes that your mind has to catch up with too.  Anesthesia and the pain meds also contribute to messing up our bodies.   It can be a real roller coaster ride especially the first few days/weeks.  Coming here where others fully understand what you are feeling can help.  Spouses, family and friends don't really understand because they have not gone through the experience.  Think about it......you lost a lot of weight and totally changed your body, then you had surgery to remove the hanging skin and contour things....MAJOR changes....MAJOR surgeries...so you are entitled to be emotional.

Hang in there.....you will feel better physically and emotionally.  FYI - the emotions may change back and forth in the same day....I just keep telling myself it is temporary and so worth it.  This time next year it will all be a blurr in my memory banks and I'll be living large in my tiny body...and you will be too!

Hope you are feeling better now...

Thanks for the support! I am actaully feeling so much better later today. I got a shower, hair washed, and out with my surgery sisters for a little walk. Made a world of difference!

I think it's hard to be away from home and away from family and friends while you're going through such a major surgery.  I'm sure I'll be the same way. 

Hope you feel better.

It is hard...but I do feel better now.

I'm your friend but can't see the pics. Can you message me the password? (((Hugs)))
