Is The Sky Falling?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3.5wks post up and I'n pretty sure every anxiety I've ever had has creeped it's way into my path again. I'm missing exboyfriends from years ago and feeling sad about falling down the stairs when I was 3!

All I can do is sit here and let emotions come through...if I try to stop it I just get aggravated and irritable.

I have a therapist I seen bi-wkly so I'm never to far off some outside help but man when it rains, it pours.

I was very emotional after surgery too. I guess it's our hormones. I don't know. It passes eventually. It could be the meds they gave us. I really don't have an answer but I was a wreck too.

I'm 6.5 weeks post and still very emotional, but I'm not naturally an emotional person and its making me very irritable. I talked to Dr and it is all of the hormone changes.

I just want to feel normal and not crying or depressed moods ....its so not like me!

Also when you're losing weight, there are hormones stored within that fat you're losing. Those hormones start moving around and run through your system as it leaves your body.

I know at around 3 weeks I was feeling weepy but, started moving more and walking harder and faster with music in my ears. It sure helped :)

Good to know. I walk 5km every day, if I push myself to do anymore I get way too exhausted but I do look forward to my exercising.

Sorry you're feeling so down. I was miserable right after surgery and cried like a baby for days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
