9 days post op and moody

[cbrenner1980 2]

I am 9 days post op. Everything went smoothly but mood swings. I am so moody. It feels like pregnancy mood swings. One minute I'm happy the next minute I am in tears. I am on antidepressants to help but they aren't helping. Is this normal and will go away?

I am 8 weeks today and it has seemed to stop for me. It only lasted a few weeks with me.

Man, that sucks. I hope it gets better for you. I have heard people on here say it's totally normal and the severity is different for each person. I hope I'm lucky and avoid it, but I doubt it. Just keep telling yourself it is only temporary and soon you will be back to yourself! Best of luck!

Right there with you. I'm 9 days out myself. Plus it's that time of the month, not helping matters. But we will persevere.

As you lose weight, the chemicals and hormones that were stored in your fat cells are being released into your body. These will pass through your kidneys and are expelled in your urine. But they can generate a flush of hormones during the weight loss phase. They should simmer down once you transition into maintenance. It is important to meet your daily Fluid requirements, because it take fluids to flush these hormones from your system.

About when do you get into maintenance phase?
