Haha just kidding! It's part of the ride, the first month I was crazy emotional about everything there were days that I just went back to bed and told my husband just wake me up when I can eat again!!

It does get easier though hang on :)

No, your not crazy! Your body is trying to heal itself, and causing your hormones to be out of balance. Many people go through this. I became very sensitive around two weeks, and wanted to cry over nothing. It will pass! I know, everyone says this, but it really does get easier. Hang in there..Hugs!

Very temporary

Just get your Protein, fluids in and enjoy the weight loss

Happened to me too. I was in the kitchen eating some broth. Next think I know in crying into my broth. It made it salty. Hubby comes in asks me what's wrong and I say I don't know. He even offered to bring me a puppy (our dog had a puppy) so that I could hold it to make me feel better. I have had that happen a couple of times for no reason. It's just all that extra estrogen that was trapped in your fat cells being released into your system.

It really does get better! I was the same way for the better part of a month. With the weight loss comes a flood of hormones that were stored in the fat and that doesn't help even a smidge! Plus, everyone else was normal and I wasn't, so I felt like an outsider in my own family. I tried to be normal and made myself sick all of the time. I would cry because of that. I would cry because I couldn't pick a restaurant to eat at because I had no cravings. I would cry because I couldn't see the progress. I would cry because my husband would make a non-hurtful joke. Hell, I would cry because he said my name differently! I was a mess. Then about a month later, I chilled out and calmed down. My father told me on my birthday in January (I was sleeved 11/12/12) "Go bake yourself a birthday cake and look at it!" I could finally laugh at jokes again and I could even crack a few good ones myself at my own expense. Hang in there and just keep the Kleenex handy!

Hey you made it two weeks without breaking down!! I made it two days and if it wasn't for this site and the people here I would probably still be broken down. I was sleeved on 1/28 and by day two I couldn't believe I had done this too myself. Now that I am about 5 weeks out, I am doing great! I am down over 45lbs since surgery and around 75lbs since I started this process. Also it's helping my family as well. I do most the cooking and now that I can have limited real food again I make everything with low fat ingredients and healthy foods. I hope everything gets better for you, if you need people to rant too we are here!

I too broke down day 2. I am almost 2 weeks out and feel its one step forward two steps back. I struggle with the things I need to have and feel like everything is against me. Sometimes I think my family doesn't think when they show up with fast food and I get a Protein Shake. At least once a day I question the choice I made. It's encouraging to hear I'm not alone and I'm looking forward to having you all for support.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
