Am 13 days post op. seem to be in a funk, can't explain it, is this normal?

I don't know if that is normal! 12 days post op, I felt great!! If you don't get better in a few days, I would contact your doctor or surgeon.

To JANIRN, I have terrible mood swings, and I cry a lot! I'm day 12 also, but I hope this gets better. I had my staples removed today. I also feel like my weight is not dropping fast compared to some on this site. Do smelling some food make you nauseous?

It can be. A LOT of people have a very negative lingering effects from surgery and anesthesia. It typically passes. Remember too that your diet has drastically changed and you are typically thrown in to ketosis, which really throws your mind and body in a tizzy.

Not to frighten you but I am 1 year 5 months out and STILL having a hard time with my emotions. I know guys are also prone to testosterone levels, as the body fat drops the amount of testosterone is still the same but the ratio of amount to body mass increases - LES body SAM T level + higher overall level.

I'm ten weeks out. Was walking 2.5 miles a day and down 55#. Just in a funk. Have not walked for two weeks. Tired of the limited diet. Perhaps I need to start cooking at home. Tired of Wendy's chili and taco bells refried Beans. Just depressed and lost motivation. Ugh!
