Cant Stop Crying! Help!



Recommended Posts

I had my vsg done exactly 1 week and 2 days ago. Up until yesterday, I had been fine. Ofcourse I went through the whole "head hunger" thing but other than that things were as expected. Yesterday I was getting ready for bed and was overcome with this need to cry. It has not gone away! I haven't stopped crying and I don't even know why! Is this normal? I have lost 13 pounds so far and am absolutely thrilled about that. Today tho, I have been in bed All day...minor pain in my left side and back and I cannot stop crying. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this part of the process?

I did the same thing and it is totally normal. I remember having a few bad days and crying so much! I think part of it is the "let down." Think about it, you have been preparing for this for MONTHS and then it is finally over. You know what I mean? Your body is going through lots of changes and things DO get better!

Me too! I think it's all the estrogen released in the fat cells. I'm worried I"m going to be a basket case for the duration!

Hey hun, it's ok. I too cried at times for what seemed for no reason. Your body and hormones have been through a lot. Things will get better. Good luck on your continued weight loss. God bless! :rolleyes:

I have PMDD and just about every month a 7-10 days before my period I cry uncontrollably. It is hormones and it sucks. I have learned that eventually it will pass. But in the moment I feel quite crazy. Hang in there!

I went through it as well! I was driving once and felt this overwhelming need to cry. I pulled over and just cried my eyes out :( I had little episodes here and there, but that was the major one.

I'm nine days out too, and sometimes feel like I'm going to lose it. I just screamed at my dog. I want to get out of my skin. I can't get away from me. You are not alone.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
