Before I left the hospital, the head bariatric nurse came in to check on me. She gave me lots of useful information about the first few weeks of life with a smaller stomach. One thing she mentioned, that I didn't pay much attention to, was that my emotions may be all over the place for a while after the surgery. I hadn't read this anywhere while researching about the gastric sleeve...so I really didn't expect it would be an issue.
I've been having "moments" for the past week, but hadn't actually broken down and cried yet. Well...yesterday the floodgates opened. I started crying in the car, on the way to play mini-golf with my hubby and son. What the heck?! After my little crying spell I did feel much better....but today I feel really blue. I honestly feel like I have the "baby blues" all over again. I hadn't expected this at all, and I'm wondering...how many people actually go through this and don't say anything about it?
On a positive note - I've lost 25 lbs since I started this journey. YAY!
