So I'm 3 weeks post op. Is it too early for these hormones to dump? Lol Some effects have been good...and the hubby agrees. 6 weeks is a longgggg time with hormones increasing lol

But this morning I woke up tearful for no reason Smh I'm like what is up with these hormones Lol Anyone know a time frame for the estrogen surge?

Perhaps your spirit is just infusing you with the feeling of gratitude? I'd live in that moment and let the emotion come up and release. You're still adjusting to your new life and will experience a myriad of emotions-that's the mind/body/spirit connection; and that's a blessing in and of itself!

All the best,

Daniel

Wow that was a perfect answer!Thank you! When I was in the hospital, as soon as the nurse told me that I needed NO medication for any comorbidities I cried like a baby!!! To this day EVERYTHING has been regulated. I've been able to monitor my blood sugar and blood pressure at home...all within a perfectly normal range!!! My primary says once my A1C is within normal range he'll consider me no longer diabetic...that's around October for the 3 month window.

Yessss! I'm truly grateful and beyond blessed!!!

Dawn,

Aww! I'm glad it resonated. I just think people (in general) are quick to end emotions. I remember when my mom died, I had friends & family suggest maybe I take medication to deal with my grief. I thought: "Okay, but my mom just died. It was the worst thing that I ever faced. Doesn't that necessitate emotion?"

I was in grief, I was broken-she deserved that respect and I deserved my time to mourn. I know-heavy comparison. But I do think people don't listen to the feelings that bubble up, when your soul cries out from pain or joy.

I was truly remorseful for having becoming so big, but it never started clicking until right after my RNY.

Okay, enough rambles. Live in your light Dawn!

Hugs,

Daniel

I think this surgery is full of feelings for sure, but I know I was a hot, hormonal mess for the first 6 weeks... Rage, tears (both happy and sad), Sexual, etc

It will all settle down eventually! I read in the forums something about hormones and fat storage and how rapid weightloss can really affect your hormones until your body adjusts...

*hugs* you got this!

Just curious if those of us who are post menopausal should expect the hormone issues as well?

I've heard that those after menopause have gotten their menstrual back. Pleasant surprise? Lol but I've heard several people say that.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
