So my surg was Mon 3/19 and and today I feel...well...a wreck. Kids are being goofy my middle one is sick, hubby works 7p-7a so I was alone all night and hes sleepin all day until about 3 to repeat the cycle tonite. My little one was up all night with night terrors. I feel good and am up and about. Gettin in my Protein n fluids but I feel like im losin it. I so just wanna soak in a hot bath or at least be allowed a Protein Shake. But I dont see the surgeon until thursday and I guess that is when I can move to a shake. I wanna cry but I not really any good at emotions. I can show every emotion to my lil ones and love em and kiss em and squeeze em but when it come to my life...ehhh not so much so I guess i wanna know Is this normal or am I being a whiney brat?

Oh, Mom, this is normal! Your body is dumping hormones like crazy as it dumps fat. There is definitely an adjustment period. Try doing some extra walking, although 3 kids probably keep you pretty active! Lots of Water and as much exercise as you can handle are the best prescription. You probably can't exercise right now to the point where you sweat, but that releases endorphins that help with mood swings and the frustrated feelings we all experience.

Good luck!! (((Hugs)))

I haven't had surgery yet but I can imagine that I will feel exactly the same. Hang in there, it can only get better from where you are now.

Hot broths help!! A nice hot cup of Decaf tea or bullion really works wonders. Almost like soaking in a bath - lol!

Hang in there - this too shall pass!
