Question:
My emotions :(

Hi. I'm due to have the open RNY in June. And first of all, I find that I'm eating what I want. The foods that should be a "no no". Is this "normal"? And second of all, my emotions are up and down! I'm excited one minute, very scared the next. Is this "normal"? Am I the only one who feels like their going crazy???? PLease help me to understand this!!!!!!! Thanks to all!!!!!    — [Anonymous] (posted on May 11, 2000)

My surgery is also in June. Mine will be a lap RNY. It is beginning to seem a lot more real now as it gets closer and closer. Started considering it last October. Foodwise, I've been eating real well about 75% of the time since my dr requires weight loss before surgery but the other 25% of the time is another story. I'm not binging like I have done most of my life but going out for nice meals and things like that. I can say I am very excited, very nervous and very scared. so, if you're going crazy, then so am I!!!! LOL I almost think it would not be normal to not have all of these feelings and many more. I am also nervous and scared about finally facing some old demons from my past and other emotional issues as the weight comes off. But then I remind myself of all the negative emotional baggage I continue to carry being this large. So mine as well deal with it in a constructive way! Feel free to email me any time.
