Hi there, emotional basketcase here.....

I've read from a few other posters that after surgery for some reason, they have some emotional unbalance...depression, etc.

OMG- I've been the crabbiest, crybaby ever the last solid 24 hours. Yesterday I was EXTREMELY tired...and slept a good part of the day (on an upnote- went in for my first pre-op check...surgery was 2/28, pre-op visit yesterday had me down 10# from Wednesday!!)

Today, everything makes me angry, being angry makes me feel overwhelmed, being overwhelmed- makes me cry...so that's fun.

Today is also my first full day back to work- have gotten little to nothing done at this point, and frankly- I stopped caring about 4 hours ago. I'm just really cranky and want to crawl into bed and be left the hell alone.

 

IS THAT NORMAL?! lol :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

absolutely! I turned into the Wicked Witch for a few days. I couldn't even tolerate myself. I was enraged.... all the time about everything! Hang in there, don't hurt anyone, and it will get better.

It is the release of fat from your body that is affecting your hormones. I think that we all go through this at some level or another. Hang in there, it will get better!

hang in there. This is very normal and you will go through several bouts of this over the course of your weight loss. Love yourself and be kind to yourself through each phase. Sleep does help and you do need sleep. That may be part of your problem now-you are reacting to the surgery and need to sleep.

I am 3 1/2 months post op , and I seem to get to easily worked up , I am by nature a person that stress about alot of things , but after my surgery I feel that my mood swings have gotten worst, I also had a full hystorectomy in late july ( before my sleeve) so I feel my hormones all out of wack.

I am also more emotional , I can easily cry to a song or movie is I am alone.
