I can honestly say this has been a hard hour. I know it will pass & all will be okay. I flipped by the Food Network (which I love--especially the Barefoot Contessa & Paula Deen) and watching the Barefoot Contessa-Ina Garten-cook fresh spinach in olive oil, butter & garlic made me burst into tears. I'm missing food a little but it's not that bad & watching someone cook something usually doesn't bother me.

I'm not depressed so it was an unexpected reaction to watching her cook that. I guess this is the hormone reaction several people have talked about.

I think it's because of being kept on the clear liquid diet for another week, too. I don't know why that upset me so much but it did. Part of this emotional thing I guess.

How long did this last for you all or is it different for everyone?

Jeri..

I had a rough first two weeks emotionally.

You'll be able to eat all those things eventually...just hang in there...

And for now, as your hormones do flipedy flops...just tell yourself...this is only temporary....

I'm praying it's only a couple of weeks. When I started crying the first thing that ran through my head is that this won't last forever, etc... I guess it just shocked me because I feel fine & then all of a sudden I'm crying for no reason. It's just crazy!!!

Yeah, it's pretty nuts, that's why we say it's a 'wild ride'.
You're going to be fine...just give it some time...
