SHELL-SHOCKED OR DEPRESSED??? PLEASE HELP ME!

I had my surgery 2 and a half wks ago, and I've already lost 41 pounds! I know I should be happier about this than I am. I went to my shrink tonight, and she said she is going to watch me closely for depression. One time, a few years ago, I lost 80 pounds in three months. I never believed I was as thin as I was. I knew I would lose weight from the surgery--but if you would've told me how fast, I would've never believed you! I am shell-shocked, I think. I put on a jacket that hasn't fit me for three years, and I thought to myself, "I am not wearing this jacket!" But I am, and it's surreal. I'm kind of scared. If anyone can offer any pearls of wisdom, please let me know. I vowed before this surgery that I wouldn't "NOT BELIEVE" I looked better. When I feel this way, it makes me very upset--one minute very happy, another minute very odd.
