So emotional. Ugh!

So I am about 4 weeks out from surgery and I am a complete basket case! I cry about everything. I have heard other people talk about this... When did you feel that you "turned the corner" and felt normal again?

This is normal. It should end by 8 weeks if I remember correctly. If not you should see your Dr.

I double checked and it should end by 6-8 weeks. It is called the hibernation syndrome if you want to Google it! Good luck. I'm 7 weeks and feel soooo much better!

hmmm not looking forward to this stage at all.

Seriously, before surgery I would describe myself as level headed. Now. Somebody looks at me funny and I am crying.

Lol totally normal! Not really funny but I was a mess! I remember watching chopped and i was balling because the guy got chopped for leaving out his mystery ingredient. At that very moment I realized this is not me!!!!

I cried about everything and anything. food, not being to drink Water, someone looked at me weird, a commercial, my daughter telling me no.

It lasted a while for me but when I told dr he said normal from released hormones.

Surgery date 7/25/12

Oh no! I was freaken happy when I couldn't eat. Maybe I'm crazy but I was like I'm getting skinny in no time. Never hungry that ended lmbo I now eat like a normal person not a fat ass. Hate when ppl stare at me now they stare thinking she didn't eat all her food. I'm full hello!?

I went thru this emotional roller coaster crap too.... Im a crier anyway... but ten times worse for about 2 months. My husband and boys just didnt know what to make of it. It is a crazy time for sure!!

I cried a lot too (LOL) I would make my mother come over and sit in my room with me or I made my daughter cuddle (She's 15 LOL) but about week 7/8 I was okay and asking everyone to leave me alone LOL

It will pass it's the crazy hormones :)

Omg I googled this and this totally explained how I'm feeling right now!! The fatigue and just want to fall into the bed or couch ASAP when done with anything!! I even cried watching the bachelorette last night and that's totally not me!!! Why didn't my dr tell me about this? I've been wondering if I had lost my mind and also was stuck in a land of fatigue. Thanks..I'm so glad you shared.

No problem. Glad I could help. I Google a lot. I saw someone on here post some symptoms they were having so I googled it! ;) I love to learn about this surgery.

I'm glad to learn more also. I think I will pull up good ole google next time hubby give me that look like I've suddenly lost my mind :)

I've been stressing out about this. I think this scares me more than any of the physical stuff. Any advice on ideas to cope?
