So I'm 3 weeks post op. Is it too early for these hormones to dump? Lol Some effects have been good...and the hubby agrees. 6 weeks is a longgggg time with hormones increasing lol

But this morning I woke up tearful for no reason Smh I'm like what is up with these hormones Lol Anyone know a time frame for the estrogen surge?

Perhaps your spirit is just infusing you with the feeling of gratitude? I'd live in that moment and let the emotion come up and release. You're still adjusting to your new life and will experience a myriad of emotions-that's the mind/body/spirit connection; and that's a blessing in and of itself!

All the best,

Daniel

Wow that was a perfect answer!Thank you! When I was in the hospital, as soon as the nurse told me that I needed NO medication for any comorbidities I cried like a baby!!! To this day EVERYTHING has been regulated. I've been able to monitor my blood sugar and blood pressure at home...all within a perfectly normal range!!! My primary says once my A1C is within normal range he'll consider me no longer diabetic...that's around October for the 3 month window.

Yessss! I'm truly grateful and beyond blessed!!!

Dawn,

Aww! I'm glad it resonated. I just think people (in general) are quick to end emotions. I remember when my mom died, I had friends & family suggest maybe I take medication to deal with my grief. I thought: "Okay, but my mom just died. It was the worst thing that I ever faced. Doesn't that necessitate emotion?"

I was in grief, I was broken-she deserved that respect and I deserved my time to mourn. I know-heavy comparison. But I do think people don't listen to the feelings that bubble up, when your soul cries out from pain or joy.

I was truly remorseful for having becoming so big, but it never started clicking until right after my RNY.

Okay, enough rambles. Live in your light Dawn!

Hugs,

Daniel

I think this surgery is full of feelings for sure, but I know I was a hot, hormonal mess for the first 6 weeks... Rage, tears (both happy and sad), Sexual, etc

It will all settle down eventually! I read in the forums something about hormones and fat storage and how rapid weightloss can really affect your hormones until your body adjusts...

*hugs* you got this!

Just curious if those of us who are post menopausal should expect the hormone issues as well?

I've heard that those after menopause have gotten their menstrual back. Pleasant surprise? Lol but I've heard several people say that.

      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
