Ever since my surgery, I've been super emotional! Literally, I can start crying at a drop of a hat!! Starting to get slightly irritating to those around :(

Anyone else feeling like that? ;(

I've read fat cells store estrogen which gets released during weight loss.

I got weepy as well around day 4. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me. I would cry for no reason. I got fed up with myself...LOL! It got better by day 8. I am now at day 12 and pretty stable again.

So there is light at the end of the tunnel :()

I sort of also feel fed up at this point but then there are times when u simply can't help it

I'm post op day 11 and I've either wanted to cry or rip someone's head off for about 4 days now. I'm sure it doesnt help that "Aunt Flo" is here. I have been a lot of fun to be around, my poor husband...

Fat cells and the estrogen theory really makes sense.

Im not a crier!! But I sure did the first few days after surgey...I didn't know what was wrong with me!! But it did get better after the first week.....But if you are still weepy after more than a week or so, you may want to let your doctor now....surgery of any kindcan cause depression to set in.

Before I had my surgery, I met with a friend who had it done a few years ago. The first thing she told me was that she was really depressed after the surgery. I couldn't understand why. Then she told me that she has lost her best friend: food. Like many of us, she was using food as a comfort in her life. The night before my surgery I had a fleeting moment where I thought my friend and I could stop for donuts on the way home. Funny, right? It was an automatic thought and then I had a mini panic attack because it was all of a sudden very real that I am now changing the way I relate to food. Yes, I still have choices; the band is only a tool for weight loss but I am consciously choosing to change the way I am relating to food. That is a HUGE deal. I swear this journey is about 20% physical and about 80% mental changes. Luckily, my friends are really nice about my emotional swings and support my choice but it's hard when you are hungry, uncomfortable, AND emotional! Hang in there!

its pretty normal. i didnt have the crying but got irritated easily. Your emotions will do a roller coaster ride for a little while. Dont worry too much about it, it happens to a lot of us. Not sure why the hormones are affected... but they are. You will get over it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
