I was sleeved feb 5th and I was looking on pinstrest today and I saw a pin about organized blankets and I just cried cause I wish my blankets looked that. Is this normal to be emotional?

Being emotional is all part of the process. It is very normal in the early stages. You whole system has just got turned around. It will take a few months before it settles down.

There is also research that show that weight loss cause release of estrogen which will make you emotional.

i've been emotional as well, always considered myself to have an even keel but lately i'm just sad, i know it's partly because I'm mourning food, and because i don't have that i'm wondering if I made the right choice. I know it was the right choice but the anxiety just keeps bringing self doubt up over and over, like a broken record. I'm making a call tomorrow to my pcp for a therapist to get me through at least these 6 weeks of full liquid diet I'm required to do.

I promise you it will get better. I thought I could not get through the emotional mess you are in after the surgery. First month is hell. 2nd month gets easier....by the middle of 2nd-third month you are actually happy.

I've been down too; I swear if it wasnt for this app, I might've lost my mind already. It really helps to hear from others going through this. My husband tries to be susupportive but he really has no idea. I was sleeved the 14th and honestly was not as prepared for this life change as I thought I was. I know that my 23lb loss is great, but Ive already platoed for like 4 days and feel like I should be down another 10 by now atleast! I mean really i'm not eating like anything!!

Sleeved on the 19th. Was really down today and crying for no reason. It went away but just wondering when it will hit me again.

Mine little episodes have been tapering off. Which is good, mornings are the hardest. By the end of the day, I'm happy that I got through but then I dread the next day because it's going to hard in the morning all over again. I do feel a little more in control but not myself just yet.

On Friday my daughter lost my 2 only car keys to my new car, they're 300 dollars each from the car dealership, and i still can't find them I'm so tired and weak but i need my keys today it Tuesday and they are still lost. I was crying most the day cause i can't find them.

Sorry to hear about that! What a bummer!. I get extremely weepy around my DH. He is out of town on business- this is our norm but right now I cry each time I see him. Especially because he is so worried about me.

Which I should add, my crying only makes him worry more.

After the gastric sleeve procedure we must deal with our hormones. Some of us have more problems than others. Hang in there and it too should calm down to your norm. Hang in there! I cried at the drop of a pin for a few weeks.

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