I agree with @@sarabeth82 - it gets way better everyday. you may have a dip in energy/emotions here and there, but by and large, the further out you are from surgery the less unstable you'll feel. Just know that it's normal, and it'll pass!

Hi, your not alone. I think it's the anesthesia. Every time I have surgery I am an emotional wreck for a good 2 months afterwords.

If you need to cry, then you just cry. Just please know it does get better! I just had my Tummy Tuck on 3\20\15 and even though it ease over 4 months ago. I still cry at sad commercials lol.

It will be OK. Jus think. I had my gastric bypass surgery on 6\25\13, lost 162 lbs. I am not lookin back. Best thing I EVER did!!!!!!!

Did I have complications, yes. But still, I would do it again.

Good luck. We are here for you!!!!

I made this account for my mom who had the sleeve done on 7/14. She came home yesterday afternoon. This evening she started getting very emotional saying she should have never done the surgery & started to cry. Her doctor said she can take a Xanax as needed. After talking to her to calm her down she finally started to relax & I gave her half of a .25mg xanax she had. I'm just happy to see this is considered a "normal" reaction. She had some complications (low blood pressure) hours after the surgery thanks to the anesthesiologist. I just want to make sure her emotions are normal. I can't wait to show her this page in the morning to show her she's not the only one. Thank you!

Please give your mom our best. We are a great forum to ask and answer questions! I had gastric bypass and went through the same emotions! I'm only 2.5 weeks out so tell your mom it does get better.

Totally normal! Try to get out and walk a little bit if you can. A change of scenery I bet would help. Call friends. Think of how healthy and happy you'll be. This too shall pass. I hope you feel better soon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
