Is it normal to be cranky, snappy, meloncholy and have no filter as to what you say, around about week 6.

Please tell me, a usual upbeat happy, glass half full type of person that its normal and will end soon

Cranky snappy and no filter sounds perfectly normal to me, but don't much like the sound of melancholy. Maybe you are tired? Whatever it is I hope it passes soon xxx

Thanks Soodoo ... just not my usual self.

Will just have to do more shopping!

Big changes in life tend to cause reactions like those you mentioned. If shopping makes you happy go for it. These feelings should pass in time. Looks like you are enjoying good weight loss.

That was me too. I was mad at the world for no particular reason, then I'd switch to being depressed. It took a month or so for my emotions to return to normal.

It would help if it would stop bloody raining!

Thank you joatsaint.. Just how I am feeling. I dropped something last night, shouted like it was the end of the world then cried. I am cracking up.

I went for a long walk yesterday, about 4 hours - it rained though, typical bank holiday!

I do take HRT Patches, had to stop 8 weeks before surgery and I am due to start again on Thursday, hubby just mentioned maybe its that.

Does anyone have experience of stoping before then restarting HRT after surgery?

I was very snappy and irritable until about week 8 I think. For me, I think it was the fatigue of healing while living a normal life. Everything started get back to normal after about 2 months.

@@slvarltx I am still very tired so I can relate to what you said.

OMG! Did you say HRT? You had to stop that 8 weeks prior?????? Lord help me and every person I come into contact with if I have to stop my hormones!!!!! My surgeon has not told me of this. I hope he never does!!!! :):)

I had to stop HRT the week before and the week after only.

Yes Im seeing my surgeon on Friday and will take a patch to slap on at the end of the meeting lol

Goodness, I hope I didn't mishear him lol

Oh I'm sure you didn't. Every Dr is different. My surgeon actually hadn't told me but my endocrinologist did so I called the surgeon and asked who confirmed it but then they never told me at pre-op or hospital release so I just stuck with what they originally told me. It has something to do with potential for blood clots.
