Feeling teary and so sad

Hi everyone,

It's been 4 days since I've had my band in. I am so sad and constantly teary and I don't know why.

I'm recovering as I should be, following the prescribed diet and doing ok. Hubby is super supportive but I am so teary and sad.

Is this possibly the anaesthetic? Did anyone else go through this? I have NOTHING to be sad about!

Thanks,

Kbarbs

    Hi Kbarbs, I am having my band surgery tomorrow so I can't offer any real advice but I was reading a post earlier about someone experiencing increased symptoms of depression a few months after surgery, something to do with extra hormones being released? I can't give you the science - perhaps someone else can?

    Could it also be that you've been anticipating having the surgery for a while and now it's happened you are on a 'come down' (and recovering from the surgery)?

    It could be anesthesia but more likely hormones from weight loss. Hang in there! Go for a walk - let the endorphins fight those damn hormones!

    Thanks guys!

    I went for a walk and I do feel a bit better. I think you may be right and it's the "come down" and hormones. Also I was a carb, sugar and caffeine junkie and I've had none of that in 3 weeks now. That has to be contributing to this low, no?

    Hormones are probably out of whack. It gets better! But I do have weird bouts still at 4 months out. My advice is to take a del breath. Appreciate and acknowledge what you are feeling. It is neither right or wrong. It is just you! And you just do you!!
