Mood Swings?

[mimi211 1]

Hi Everyone! i had surgery 7/26/10, so I'm 3 weeks post-op. I was just wondering, though, is it normal to have mood swings? Somedays I am so sad, and feel like crying all day. Other days I am so happy and excited that I finally had my surgery done! Is anyone going through, or has gone through this in the beginning?

Yes Mimi, this is a normal reaction. There have been a few posts discussing this and the reason why. Let me see if i can find one for you.

Hello! I had my surgery the same day as you and I have definately been feeling emotional. I went out with friends yesterday to see Eat Pray Love and I could have cried the whole movie. It isn't really a sad movie! haha. But it was about a woman going through all these changes and looking for herself and I was just so moved by it. I guess normally I would have eaten and ignored the feelings but now I have to face so much of what I feel. I am so excited about the changes but I'm terrified too.

So, anyway it is good to know I am not crazy and now I am going to read the thread waynoo shared.

Stay strong!

Thanks so much for the support, both of you! It IS relieving to know that someone else is going through the same thing; I almost started crying reading your response! HAHAHA! Good luck to all!

During that period I had a lack of Protein and calories in general and was VERY moody and cranky. as soon as I got more normal levels of nutrition I was fine.

I looked for the threads on this but they seem to have expired. I am practically in tears and just have no good reason for being such an ass to my poor dog and my poor husband. I feel like a tyrant, and this is so weird because yesterday I was on top of the world, had boundless energy, was so loving to everyone, and today I am tired and headachy and sad. I had my surgery 1/27 so am a little over 2 weeks post op. Physically I seem to be doing fairly well but I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster. Would love to hear from anyone who has recently been through this and wondering how long it lasts?

Thanks,

Cat (The Tyrant)
