moods after surgery?

I think we all must worry about it not working. Sounds like your doing really well. I am now having those knitting pains in my stomach where its healing. I was sleeping on my sides but started feeling some pulling so I am back sleeping on my back again. I talked to a person who is 4 years out and she said we would go through tired times for at least 6 weeks. deb

Hello, and good afternoon. LOL Even tho I have only been awake for about an hour now. LOL I can go from happy to grumpy in 2 seconds. I am told it is because I am feeling better so I know more of what I cant do. It's pretty normal to be moody. Just gets tiresome. I cant wait until we are all feeling better and not so moody.

I agree, I will love it when I feel like myself again. deb

I was an emotional mess the first week, and then I just regressed to plain old moody. Felt all of the same things and had all the same fears. It helps to know others go through the same thing.

My moods have been all over the place the last couple days. Wednesday was the worst, I felt horrible and had a complete emotional melt down. I've increased my walking and quit trying to make hubby believe that I was just dandy and could do it without his support. He's spent more time at home (he went back to work on Monday, less than a week after surgery, I came home on Friday) the last couple days and that has helped. This is a HUGE change. Add to it that we're women, the weight loss will release estrogen from our fat cells. Yikes!! That's enough to throw us off balance. Hugs! Melissa

I think we are all in the same boat- I just got off the phone crying to my Mom because I ate noodles without putting them in the blender. (I did chew them til they were mush.) I feel like I am dying from the inside out some moments, then ok the next second! It is crazy how we feel but we made this choice and we have to make it work! There isn't a doubt in my mind that we all will do it with faith and patience. A year from now will all be so use to it that we will forget that we had this done! I just love being able to share our feelings on it- I think it truly helps!

Deb, It is all normal the way you are feeling I went through that alot exspecially right after surgery and about 3 weeks out but now it is getting better I was one of those that wondered what did I do, sometimes I still get depressed like specially when I eat cause I just feel like I dont enjoy food anymore like I eat cause i have to not cause I love to anymore it just looks sad to see such little food on the plate while everyone else is eating normal,sometimes it is hard and I get depressed,cause you want to eat but I just keep my eye on the goal and prize and it makes it seem all better.........just remember we are all feeling this way keep your head up we will go through our ups and downs but keep your eyes on the prize..... hugs and love lisa
