Im just sayin'....

I have recently been experiencing some things and I was just wondering if anyone could help me out?!

Some days, when I wake up, I am sooooo tired. I cant get motivated to do anything at all. All I want to do is lay around and do absolutely nothing. But then theres day, Like today, where I feel like I have so much excitement inside, like I need to go out and do something but I dont know what to do. My house is spotless, I work in my garden alot, and go outside for a while and im active, then I come inside and its like Now what? Im assuming its hormones..maybe Im depressed...I dont know. My husband, God love him, just does with it. He doesnt complain. I am only 24, is this something someone else has gone through? I hope so...maybe its not just me that crazy... HELP! =D

Your PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats :D

Oh how I wish...but No...lol My cycle started about 3 days ago. The reason I am having this surgery is to be able to get pregnant though. I have been told that being overweight by 80lbs has caused me to be infertile... =(

I was exhausted for a long time after surgery. Somebody asked me if I had low Iron. I said, no.. I take Vitamins everyday. Sure enough, I got home and looked at my vitamins, no iron in any of them. I switched to a multi Vitamin with minerals and it made all the difference in the world for me.

I don't know when your surgery was, but it could just be re-cooping from surgery. It takes more out of a person than you'd think.

You could ask your Dr to do a blood draw and check your iron, and other vitamin deficiencies. This was a routine thing for me several months after my surgery.

Good Luck!

How long do your periods of excitement last? Days? Does your sleep change during those days?

I experience the same thing. I've heard that losing weight can make your hormones all wacky because some hormones are stored in fat and released when it is burned. Not sure if that's true but it makes sense...

Nope, you're absolutely right about the hormones; estrogen is stored in fat cells which is why a lot of people have wonky periods after surgery. You lose weight quickly and all those hormones get released...I know I was off kilter for the first few months and I'm STILL trying to get my period regulated. OB/GYN told me the only way to fix it was to stop losing weight...no thank you (lol)!

The feeling of excitement will usually just last a day.

I normally am a hard sleeper, it takes a lot to wake me up, but lately its like the slightest movement or sound can wake me right up,

Huh, well, it may be hormone fluctuations. It is probably worth mentioning to your PCP for bloodwork, just to make sure all of your Vitamins are in the right place. The reason I asked about sleep was because some of what you mentioned *could* describe hypomania which is a symptom of bipolar. If that runs in your family, then you also might talk to your doctor about that.

Weight loss does weird things to us, that's for sure! Since I've been losing weight I get horrible splitting headaches the first couple of days of my period-- something I never experienced before.

Since my surgery March 14, 2011 I have had a lot of trouble sleeping. My doctor warned me of this from the beginning. I have started excercising and on days I walk I sleep much better. I feel Great sincing losing 26 lbs. So I don't mind some sleepless nights as long as I keep losing.

Bailey, on those days when you don't know what to do you are more than welcome to come over and clean my house!!!! :D
