I'm so depressed today!
Right now there are so many outside pressures on us - the economy, the upcoming election - just where is it going to lead us? and financially things are rocky. It gets me worried when I look at my 401K right now.
And as I remember you had a post about your PCP and lack of support - that sorta thing plays on my mind and it might have something to do with your feelings today.
So a gentle hug and hope you feel better,

It IS hard at first.... so many adjustments to make, and having to deal with things being so different is just plain hard on us.....
You are doing great, and things will get easier and easier quickly....
Normally I would make a crack about having sex or something, but I don't want to be off color
..... just pretend I did, and smile... Really.... this is all normal and expected
Different isn't necessarily a bad thing is it? I think THIS kind of different... this opportunity to achieve a new and healthier life... is a GOOD kind of different.
Have you had any follow ups with your surgeon? Perhaps you could express your feelings to him/her and see what might be offered as a solution.
I hope your day gets better.......

By the way Marc... I think I do need some....my hubby is going to get lucky pretty soon (tonight?).
It's been a while.... hehehe 
Laura,
I definitely felt emotional about a month before my surgery and for a few weeks after. I know there are lots of reasons, but some of it is also just dealing with emotional things WITHOUT eating over them. I know that things upset you yesterday, and not eating about it can also trigger those kinds of emotions...you are actually feeling those feelings, not eating over them. So be kind to yourself, and let your hubby make you feel better tonite. :o)

sorry! sending hugs --you are "normal" right now!!!!!! the otehrs have explained it!!
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

What you are going through is very normal for many of the reasons posted here already, it will level out and if it does not, then talk it over with your doctor. But I've had several periods as you described, at different intervals, but since I hit about 10 months, it's gotten lots better.
Sending cyber hugs to you,

Ohhhhh YES........ Hormones on the rampage..... YUP been there done that.... don't want to go back ......I had several ODD things happen after I had surgery. I had NO clue what to expect until after they happened. Sigh.... I didn't know of this site or the OFF group until well after surgery. Wish I had more info at the time..
