Hey everyone! I’m 6 days post op and normally I am the furthest thing from an emotional person but I have noticed I have become such a crybaby. I can’t watch sad commercials, movies, and I can’t even listen to music because I will start crying. I don’t know if it’s my depression because I’m on medication for it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Quite a few people have experienced this. They usually pinpoint the hormonal changes from the surgery as the problem.

Yes! It’s normal to get depressed and moody after any surgery. WLS made me super emotional and hormonal. You can also expect messed up periods.

Does this happen to older women? I had a partial hysterectomy and my hormone levels tested positive for menopause. Just curious what to expect. I don't want to cry:(

If you want to cry, cry! You just permanently altered your body. You just forever changed your relationship with food. You're changing the person you see in the mirror. I know I cried too. You are not alone.

As the late Lesley Gore said back,in the early 60s
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Very Prophetic, wasn't it?

Crying is totally normal. I cried everyday for the first week after surgery and had regrets but now 9 weeks out and no regrets and no longer crying lol

I'm extremely unstable emotionally right now. I don't now if it's hormonal, situational, anti-depressant not absorbing correctly, or a mix of all of these. You're not alone. We're here for you. :780_sparkling_heart:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
