Emotional

[mantagirl 6]

I am a little over one week out post op and have found myself crying for the past couple of days and being very emotional. No real reason for it. Normal? Anyone else?

Yes you are normal. This is very common. There is a rush of hormones with the rapid weight loss, your body just went through trauma (a major surgery) and you may have had many personal feelings, concerns and anxiety built up prior to the surgery and feelings about your life post surgery.

Congratulations on your WLS and the beginning of a new you.

It's normal. When I get sick, I work it off. I don't lay in the bed and rest. So naturally, when I had no choice but to lay in bed for that many days with someone doing the smallest things for me, I felt vulnerable.

I had my surgery 6 days ago. Days 3 and especially 4, I was very emotional and moody. I chalked it up to the trauma of surgery and the after-effects of the anesthesia and pain meds. It will pass.

I read somewhere that there are hormones stored in fat, so losing fat means releasing hormones. Ain't that a witch lol

I'm 4.5 weeks post op and am still very emotional/moody. My poor kids and husband are probably thinking I've lost it

I'm not a crier but I have been bawling! Especially since I need help doing stuff and my mother is more interested in watching 'How to Get Away with Murder' and insists I haven't given her a break 3days post op I mean my eyes are running like a river! Totally sure it's normal.

I am 2.5 mths out and have not experienced this. I wonder if it is being post menopausal. Hmmm........
