This may seem like a dumb question but did any of you get very emotional a few weeks out after the sleeve??? Im 24 days PO and all is really good, no problems, but today Ive been crying at the drop of a hat..... no real reason.

Just very teary. Anyone else experience this???

there is a proven hormonal component to weight loss. I'm no doctor but from my understanding fat cells store estrogen, and then release that estrogen as you lose fat. (pls someone correct me on this if I'm misrepresenting what happens!)

people say that post surgery weight loss can hormonally be a little bit like weeks long PMS as your hormones fluctuate.

there's also an uptick in depression and suicide after surgery. of course that may not describe you if it's just weepiness and not darker feelings/thoughts, but it's something watch out for and ask for help with if it gets worse.

but don't worry, what you're going through is pretty normal from everything I've read.

It comes, it goes, it comes, it goes:-) Totally normal. Surprised your Dr didn't discuss the effect WLS has on your hormones. It is key to changing your weight set point. All those hormones are a good thing right now. I'm still waiting for mine to level but since I am only 3 months out it will be a while. Take advantage of this time to lose as much weight as you can by sticking to the plan and exercising.

Good luck

Ok. Nobody talked to me about hormonal changes. Any time I've had surgery I'm emotional after. I have no idea why. It's weird and I've literally laughed while crying because I feel ridiculous. Hope the good days are frequent and the bad decrease.

I agree, when I had each of my surgeries I was "off" for a few weeks.

I'm post menopausal, and I had no symptoms to speak of, hadn't even thought there would be a problem, but it would make sense.

On 4/26. It just hit me today. I assumed I'm going through withdrawals like an addict would?



Maybe so. It's a big deal and pretty traumatic. I hope it passes quickly for you though. :(

      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?

      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
