Ever since my surgery, I've been super emotional! Literally, I can start crying at a drop of a hat!! Starting to get slightly irritating to those around :(

Anyone else feeling like that? ;(

I've read fat cells store estrogen which gets released during weight loss.

I got weepy as well around day 4. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me. I would cry for no reason. I got fed up with myself...LOL! It got better by day 8. I am now at day 12 and pretty stable again.

So there is light at the end of the tunnel :()

I sort of also feel fed up at this point but then there are times when u simply can't help it

I'm post op day 11 and I've either wanted to cry or rip someone's head off for about 4 days now. I'm sure it doesnt help that "Aunt Flo" is here. I have been a lot of fun to be around, my poor husband...

Fat cells and the estrogen theory really makes sense.

Im not a crier!! But I sure did the first few days after surgey...I didn't know what was wrong with me!! But it did get better after the first week.....But if you are still weepy after more than a week or so, you may want to let your doctor now....surgery of any kindcan cause depression to set in.

Before I had my surgery, I met with a friend who had it done a few years ago. The first thing she told me was that she was really depressed after the surgery. I couldn't understand why. Then she told me that she has lost her best friend: food. Like many of us, she was using food as a comfort in her life. The night before my surgery I had a fleeting moment where I thought my friend and I could stop for donuts on the way home. Funny, right? It was an automatic thought and then I had a mini panic attack because it was all of a sudden very real that I am now changing the way I relate to food. Yes, I still have choices; the band is only a tool for weight loss but I am consciously choosing to change the way I am relating to food. That is a HUGE deal. I swear this journey is about 20% physical and about 80% mental changes. Luckily, my friends are really nice about my emotional swings and support my choice but it's hard when you are hungry, uncomfortable, AND emotional! Hang in there!

its pretty normal. i didnt have the crying but got irritated easily. Your emotions will do a roller coaster ride for a little while. Dont worry too much about it, it happens to a lot of us. Not sure why the hormones are affected... but they are. You will get over it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
