This is a huge change for everyone in your life but of course mostly for you. I think you are hungry and haven't eaten and I know that makes me crabby! Plus you are sore and trying to wrap your mind around all of this. I would ask for everyone to cut you a little slack BUT if you do start feeling dark and sad, talk to your surgeon. I am so glad I had this surgery but that does not mean in the beginning I did not regret it and maybe need to just get my head around it. Thats maybe what you are going through and your family just wants you to be happy and positive. Stay strong! And do not be afraid to ask for patience/space/help if you need it.

I wasnt aggressive but boy did I cry at the drop of a hat Day 1 - 5 post op. Its harder on some people than it was on others. I felt like I was depressed because I saw so many posts like "Day 4 and im feeling great" and I was like.... reallyy why do I feel like im in hell and no one else is??? I think there will be lots of emotional phases and this is just one you are going through right now. Try your best not to kill anyone ;)

It's very normal to be very emotional after surgery if it doesn't pass in a couple of weeks I would see the dr or if you start feeling worse

What everyone else said. It is normal, but you might also want to be alone,because they are eating and you are not. Hang in there, ask for a little space from them. best wishes, come here for support! we will ((((hug)))you!

I was an emotional rollercoaster for a couple of weeks (not my normal self) after surgery, so like others said, give it some time, but if it does not go away, talk to the doc. Good luck, you can do this!
