Sensitivity and gastric sleeve.

[Juliana Cano 0]

So it's been 18 months since my gastric sleeve. and I've lost close to 100 lbs. Although I'm feeling great, and seems like my body is finally adapting to the change, I still feel very emotional ALL THE TIME. There are things that wouldn't bother me before, and that I would even ignore of think weren't of importance. Now, if I'm watching TV and a sad puppy commercial I'm all tears. Anyone else experiencing the same??

If food was your go to to deal with stress, boredom, sadness, anger etc.... You need new coping mechanisms. This may be difficult to figure out on your own if food is the only thing you know. Therapy can be a great help and will help you to not fall back into old habits.

Congrats!! 100 lbs is an awesome accomplishment!

I've heard that hormones are stored in fat, too, and that they're released when you lose weight. That could have something to do with it too.

My doctor assured me it was hormones. It was very similar to the mood swings I had when I was pregnant and at 9.5 months post op I still get weepy super easily.
