Down in the dumps.



Recommended Posts

I am 11 days post-op and I had my follow up today. I thought I was doing fine, mentally, but this afternoon I am feeling very down and I don’t know why. I could cry at any moment. Anyone else have this problem post-op?

Hormone fluctuations are very common. Fat tissue stores up estrogen and it can get dumped once weight loss starts. That can lead to terrible mood swings. . It will get better. Just take it one day at a time.

I did. I had a couple crying episodes that just made my family more supportive. They helped keep me busy to keep my idle mind from dipping into that low place of depression and I’ve been fine ever since.
