Feeling teary and so sad

Hi everyone,

It's been 4 days since I've had my band in. I am so sad and constantly teary and I don't know why.

I'm recovering as I should be, following the prescribed diet and doing ok. Hubby is super supportive but I am so teary and sad.

Is this possibly the anaesthetic? Did anyone else go through this? I have NOTHING to be sad about!

Thanks,

Kbarbs

Hi Kbarbs, I am having my band surgery tomorrow so I can't offer any real advice but I was reading a post earlier about someone experiencing increased symptoms of depression a few months after surgery, something to do with extra hormones being released? I can't give you the science - perhaps someone else can?

Could it also be that you've been anticipating having the surgery for a while and now it's happened you are on a 'come down' (and recovering from the surgery)?

It could be anesthesia but more likely hormones from weight loss. Hang in there! Go for a walk - let the endorphins fight those damn hormones!

Thanks guys!

I went for a walk and I do feel a bit better. I think you may be right and it's the "come down" and hormones. Also I was a carb, sugar and caffeine junkie and I've had none of that in 3 weeks now. That has to be contributing to this low, no?

Hormones are probably out of whack. It gets better! But I do have weird bouts still at 4 months out. My advice is to take a del breath. Appreciate and acknowledge what you are feeling. It is neither right or wrong. It is just you! And you just do you!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
