I'll be a month post-op on the 25 and I must say that I really enjoy being 35lbs lighter!! People at work are starting to notice my weight loss and I'm kind of enjoying the attention!! I'm still having trouble adjusting to this new lifestyle... I didn't think it was going to be this hard. My sister tells me that I knew what I was getting into before I did and she's right I did but actually having to go through it is tough not to mention having a partner that doesn't really understand my emotional roller coaster doesn't help me eight!! She doesn't understand my feelings and mood changes, she kind of sees like "OK you had surgery already, it shouldn't be hard to anymore". But it is!! It's HARDER now than ever before!!! She feels that I'm sometimes overreacting to certain issues. It's hard being a relationship where your partner doesn't really understand you or at least try to understand you. I didn't believe it until now but surgery does put a strain on your relationship after wards!!! We'll see how much more of this I can take!!!

Tougher than I though

I never realized how intense my "relationship" with food was until now! I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and my weight loss process is coming along great, it's my emotional and mental process that is having some trouble catching up to the change I've made in my life. I would always use food as a way to "vent", if I was sad, depressed, stressed or bored I would just find something to eat now that I can't do that I feel like losing my mind just a bit!! I know that I made this decision to change my life for the better and become healthy (I was borderline hypertension/diabetic) and I knew what I was going to have to give up and the changes that I was going to have make and I was ready, I AM READY! But I'm having a little trouble dealing with my "loss of food"! Not sure how to handle it!!!
