Crying post op...Do men have this problem too?

[Thecloude1 342]

I am almost 11 weeks post op and I find myself crying way more then I did pre op...Just curious if men have this issue too? Women are hormonal messes!

I did not experience this. Emotions were in check after surgery.

Fat cells store not only fat but also chemicals and hormones. As you decrease your fat cells, these are released into your system. So you are probably experiencing a hormone overload. Drink plenty of fluids to flush these hormones through your system. I suspect that when you reach your bottom weight, these effects should diminish.

I never cried either, but this is an emotional time for you...lots of adjustments and new experiences. I think it's important to feel your feelings-whether they're hormones or underlying emotions, you clearly need and may continue to need that release. Don't fight it, embrace it! It's part of this process.

No, but then actually I'm John Wayne

just goofy today. But very seriously:

I've found myself getting frustrated and very angry suddenly, spoke to doc and they say it's very common and

connected to enzymes/hormonal changes from stomach and that it usually evens out thasnk good ness

I guess men project their emotions differently [emoji2]

Men usually experience depression as anger or irritability instead of sadness.. not all of them. But its more typical

The only bad i felt was when i was kicking the pain pills. My wife was angry at me saying i was being rude but i had to kick them since i had issues in the past. So far other than that, I'm happy as a clam and no one cab figure out how i can cook full blown meals for everyone and not feel the need to eat. I just don't and i am loving the new life i have been given. I want the most of this second chance and no taco or lasagna is going to derail it

Found this thread by doing a search on "depression"! Yes, I am irritable and angry! My wife is a smaller, in shape gal so she still needs to eat, but I find myself so irritated when I have to eat 2oz of cream of mushroom Soup an oz of pudding and an oz of v8. I keep trying to tell myself there will be light at the end of the liquid tunnel once I can move on to some puréed foods, but I swear I will never eat another freaking spoonful of Jello EVER AGAIN!!
