Feeling sorry for my self.

Well I have to say that the last few days that I have been feeling sorry for myself and just not motivated to do anything. I have had to force myself to just get out of bed. I have talked with my therapist and he says this is normal at this stage in my new life. Well yesterday I forced my self to go out and cut and split firewood to get ready for the storm that is coming and to day I stayed in bed till noon only getting out to eat at 8am and again at noon. But tonight after supper I dragged my sorry A@# to the gym and did 45 minutes there all cardio because I am only 35 days out.    

Way to push yourself!  You're your own best tool for getting out of this funk.

This is a very emotional time for you. Your body is going through many changes in a short period of time. You are doing a fantastic job and things will get easier. Keep coming to OH for support, there are some wonderful people on this site.:

yucky days are going to hit surgery or no surgery... :)  It is kind of like a huge anti climax though, you go through the whole process, you do your pre-surgery diet, you get your surgery out the way, you get through liquids, you get through mush and then you think, you start getting active... and then you have nothing all of a sudden other than keeping up the good work day by day.

I have been told (16 weeks to go!) that when we have our wedding that I will be like that after. 

Like you are mourning having all these  things to achieve and now that the rest of it is just about keeping it up, we get a massive mood slump.

You are doing exactly what you should - the firewood needed to be done and today you dragged yourself to the gym - bet it feels good after that though? 

You could try to make a new little challenge or think of some new project you can focus your attention on to get yourself out of the slump.  I am a data nerd, so numbers always make me feel better - how about you start working at improving your cardio performance - whether it's time or intensity or something - I know it's a bit easier to track gains in strength than it is in cardio but that might help. - or something along the same lines.

You are Awesome, I was so inspired by you swimming your way through the liquid diet I started my pre-op early.  It's okay to have a whine and feel icky. You are still awesome and you will still be awesome tomorrow :D

Thank you everyone for the support I needed it some days it's harder than others. But today was just one of those days that makes you want to sit and think what's going on in my life.

I think its normal to have a few downs after a surgery like this. The main thing is your pushed on and made your way to the gym! Sorry you're feeling like like this. Here is to brighter days ahead!

Totally normal.  Try to take some time to enjoy a hobby that will distract you a bit :)

I will have to try that , thanks everyone

This too shall pass. Just concentrate on the big picture. Firewood and gym are a great way to beat the blues.
