Mood Change post op

[Tmars23 4]

Hello, I am 8 days post op and as soon as I was discharged from the hospital and got home I've been so sad and crying all the time and that's not like me at all. I'm hungry all the time too, even though I get in my fluids. I hope this is just a phase.

Yes! All. The. Moods!

What you have to know is that it's a hormone super collider! Just know that it DOES get better and you will be happy soon.

Watch comedies.

Get out in fresh air.

Walk as much as safely and humanly possible.

Comedy therapy. Watch. All. The. Comedies.

Did I mention comedies? Laugh. A bunch!

Google Four Square Breathing

Hug someone you love as tight as you can stand for about 1-3 minutes. Do it often.

The hunger will get better with solid foods. Drink lots of Water. Ask your doc about taking a PPI. Sometimes acid makes you mistake it as hunger.

Feel better soon. Concentrate on the weight just falling off of you!!

It definitely is only a phase. Your body is going through some major changes and your hormones are out of whack. Just give yourself a bit more time and it will get better!! Good Luck

Thank you so much for the tips ! I love comedies, so I’ll def be doing that ! I haven’t even turned on the tv since I’ve been home that’s how much of a wreck I’ve been but hopefully things are def going to get better.

I had a severe emotional crash in the couple of months after surgery, including crying for no reason and huge regrets about having the surgery. As everyone has said, it was temporary--and my outlook is more positive than ever now that I've lost all the weight and feel healthy!
