Cryimg and feeling down

[Kat23 47]

I'm on day 8 post-op. I'm physically recovering well and am 19 pounds down. Yes, I want to eat but don't feel physical hunger. My problem is that yesterday and today I am in a terrible mood and/or feeling down and depressed. I'm crying unexpectedly for no reason. Any one else experiencing this?

I am!! Same surgery date as you! I have bitten off two of my kids heads today alone. They however did deserve it! I just want everyone to leave me alone and to be in the quiet. I am upstairs by myself so I don't have to yell at anyone else.

I'm 6 days post-op and feel out of whack- physically and emotionally. It's got to be normal but I'm sad that we are finally having nice weather and I'm stuck inside while my husband is out playing with our kids. I just don't physically feel up to it yet. I have sharp pain when I get up or down or when I walk. If I sit still I'm fine. I'm getting the fluids and Protein in just fine but I'm so anxious to be back to normal. I thought it would feel better by now Sorry to vent!

Weeks 3-4-5 I thought I was losing my mind....moody, sad, crying. Looked at the other PA in my office and said sister....1 more week of this and I'm going to let you medicate me....about week 6 it all started falling back into place....be patient, try not to be hard on yourself. Hormone are crazy, surgery is a huge stress....so much change is happening......

Sometimes after surgery being down and depressed is very normal. I was like that for a week. I am at 4 weeks tomorrow and it has definitely gotten better. Hang in there!

Not crying but I can relate to yelling at everyone for about 2 months. It gets better

I am the same exact way today. Snapping at people, not caring if I eat or drink (didnt come close to Protein or water), just feeling blah. Could've layed in bed and slept and it was beautiful out here too. I don't want to complain to husband, so when he asked "what's wrong", I just said to "let me be, that is was normal". I am not ungrateful, but definately a very weird emotional day. And I still have the stupid pain as well. Just sneezed and thought I was gonna cry. Going to bed early! Tomorrow will be better for all of us!

You are such a big help for all of us newbies! I thank you for your words of wisdom, both as a PA and fellow RNYer!

Bring on week 6 or month 6 for that matter! LOL!

I am so sick to my stomach or "pouch" today. It is almost for my "time of the month" I think besides cramps I have bloating and I can't get my liquids in or Protein. I hate protein! Sorry just feel like ranting. Does anyone else hate protein?

Rant all you want! Seems to be the day for it! I didn't eat or drink even near the limit today. Felt like throwing up with everything. Will kick it in high gear tomorrow! I had bought a lot of samples before surgery, in all different flavors. Now they are all too sweet. So much for being prepared. Should've waited and saved my money.
