I am 6 weeks post op and I am feel so emotional all the time. I know this is a thing but I was wondering when some of you might have started to level off? This is actually causing my anxiety to come out.

I have been going to therapy for over 3 years and that helps some. But frankly I’m just overwhelmed with everything!

I’ll take all the advise I can get! Thank you!

The hormone shift after surgery is different for everyone.

The really extreme hormone changes are supposed to be better after 2 months and the increase in estrogen can last 1 year.

Sorry, I know you probably wanted a clear answer. Best I can do.?

I feel some of your pain. I was migraine free for 5 years before I had surgery. The hormone changes brought them back! I know which migraine meds work for me, but didn't have any because it had been 5 years. My surgeon called in a prescription for me on saturday afternoon. I am hoping migraines are temporary too!

Don't be too overwhelmed. You must be strong if you went through all of the pre-op process and diet. You got through the surgery. You can do this!

Try to focus on the good stuff. Have you lost weight? Can you fit into new sizes/favorite old clothes? Do you feel better? Both scale and non-scale victories are what you need to cling to to get through this. And maybe a pretty new dress ??
