Emotions

[time4mefinally 2]

Omg. Five days post op and I just cried over a regular commercial. ( not even a tear jerker!) I googled this and found it to be really a popular topic but haven't seen much here about it. Oh well, I will stay away from the Hallmark channel for a while

I had a tread on emotions as well, I am 2 weeks post op and have been struggling with this as well, it's all of the hormones that are being released after surgery through fat loss and all of the changes we are going through. I had few days when I cried for no reason either.. It gets better hang in there

Hope you get to feeling better. I'm one week from surgery. I can see me easily cry as well.

And for the love of (please enter your chosen deity here), DO NOT make any big decisions over the next few weeks...

Hindsight may prove to contain waaaaay too many questions if you're making life decisions now...

Let it go...

Let it go...

There are dozens of threads on mood swings and emotional roller coaster stuff on here. Not sure why you haven't seem them before.

Fat stores hormones. Once you start losing fat, all those hormones get flushed back into your bloodstream. It means for most of the time that you're actively losing weight, you'll be on a wild roller coaster of mood swings - crying, angry, depressed, happy - scary stuff when you're not expecting it.

It is all completely normal. You should just try to make sure if you start feeling really depressed or really angry, take a few moments to step back and breath and remind yourself that it is hormones and try not to get upset with yourself or others. I'd also warn family/close friends that your moods might be haywire for a while and to try to give you a little space or comfort if you start acting nuts.
