Emotional!!

[LoMi30 0]

Hey everyone! I’m 6 days post op and normally I am the furthest thing from an emotional person but I have noticed I have become such a crybaby. I can’t watch sad commercials, movies, and I can’t even listen to music because I will start crying. I don’t know if it’s my depression because I’m on medication for it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Quite a few people have experienced this. They usually pinpoint the hormonal changes from the surgery as the problem.

Yes! It’s normal to get depressed and moody after any surgery. WLS made me super emotional and hormonal. You can also expect messed up periods.

Does this happen to older women? I had a partial hysterectomy and my hormone levels tested positive for menopause. Just curious what to expect. I don't want to cry:(

Yes it happened to me and I’m post menopausal. It only lasted two days. Walk. Get out of your house. Get away from the television. Get some fresh air. I see walking as my meditation. It helps.

I guess I will be walking and the dogs will get extra hugs.

If you want to cry, cry! You just permanently altered your body. You just forever changed your relationship with food. You're changing the person you see in the mirror. I know I cried too. You are not alone.

As the late Lesley Gore said back,in the early 60s
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Very Prophetic, wasn't it?

Crying is totally normal. I cried everyday for the first week after surgery and had regrets but now 9 weeks out and no regrets and no longer crying lol

I'm extremely unstable emotionally right now. I don't now if it's hormonal, situational, anti-depressant not absorbing correctly, or a mix of all of these. You're not alone. We're here for you.
