emotional outburst 1 day post op

[hope2bhealthy 2]

So, I just wanted to know if anyone else got really emotional over nothing right after surgery. I was feeling just fine, then I just started bawling and couldn't stop because I was getting the run-around trying to schedule my first post-op visit with my doctor. There was no reason for me to start crying just because they were frustrating me like they always do. So could it be tied to the surgery? Hormones or something? Just curious.

I had one 3 days post op. Complete meltdown over McDonalds. I think it is the stress on the body, nerves and lack of food!

It's actually normal. It's the anesthesia. It messes with your hormones as it's leaving you system. Happens to me every time I go under. Makes it worse when your hormones are a mess to begin with!

Horrible thing is, even when you know what's happening to your body and you think it's stupid to be doing this, you can't stop it! Just have to ride it through. Usually you're all better in no time.

Hang in there.

Honey, you have been through a lot emotionally and physically. Take good care of yourself. This is a huge life change.

Anesthesia, low nutrition, life style changes, etcccccc. Totally normal and just go with it. Your physical, emotional, and spiritual body has been totally disrupted. All will settle down with time. Be really kind to yourself right now and treat yourself to comforting things - a cup of tea by candlelight!

Don't feel bad, I was banded on Friday and Saturday morning I burst into tears-totally regretting the decision because I was in so much pain. For me the shoulder pain was the worst, my poor husband-what a trooper-he sat and rubbed my shoulders any time I asked-even called the Doctor because the pain was so bad. Now 4 days post surgery and the shoulder pain is gone, when I put on my jeans today and they looked like a big blue sack, I felt like it was a good decision.

thank you, everyone, for responding with supportive words. it's good to know that maybe it was just the anesthesia, or hormones, or something. i feel much better now since i had a good cry earlier. actually, i had 2 good cries and a few sips of a Protein Shake, so maybe it did the trick.

I'm treated for depression anyways but right after surgery I was in a deep dark place. Everyone else was so happy for me...and I kept thinking....well...now what?

Doing much better now though. It's a huge change and that' s never easy.

My meltdown occured over a whelchair. My witch of a nurse actually wheeled in an extra small wheelchair and tried to fit my big ass in it. Turns out it was a "child" sized wheelchair that should not have even been on that floor!

Honey, i think we have all been there done that. I couldn't stop crying for like a week. BTW I had my period too when i was banded so I am sure that made it worse. I was so depressed and regretted my decision for like a week...now a month later and 22 pounds less...very happy and can't wait to see more results

I had a meltdown after 4 or 5 days. I was trying to take spoonfuls of vile liquid meds. That stuff is horrible - I've switched to pill cutting.

Emotions are raw.

I was just banded March 17th, so my emotions are evening out. For days, everything was a crisis.
