Post op Cranky?

I am just wondering if I am cranky because I am post op....and not really eating like I was, or if my kids were driving me nuts! I tend to think the later, because the Mrs. and I are getting along fine....but the kids are driving me Crazy!!!!! Now it could just be that they are 5 and 2, but I thought I would check. It's too hot this weekend (100 degrees!), and if I am stuck in doors w/ them for 96 hours, I am not sure they will both survive the weekend! Their day care is at our local synogogue..and it's closed Monday and Tuesday for a Jewish holiday and I will be home playing Mr. Mom since I can work from home.

OH yea, welcome to the wonderful world of moodiness LOL. For the last 2 weeks I've been grumpy, sad, depressed and irritable. I have been told that this is normal due to the psychological and physiological changes we're going through. So take a deep breath and don't kill your kids, it's not their fault its just a phase you are going through. Keep in mind that this to shall pass. Wish you the best! Shelia

*raises hand* I have been super cranky off and on since surgery. Things that really should not bug me are driving me nuts! My partner left an empty glass next to the computer the other day...no big deal...it was empty...could easily have just picked it up the next time I went into the kitchen...nope...it sat there and drove me NUTS for a full day before I checked myself and realized that it was just a cup. It's normal, and I hear it gets better as you get farther out. Estrogen is fat soluble and when your estrogen levels change (because you are burning fat at a very fast rate right now and it is releasing all that estrogen into your blood stream, yes, even men!) you tend to get moody and have unexplained swings. This too shall pass! Shells

Steve, I have FOUR kids 7 and under and I noticed yesterday I have been snapping at them more frequently the past week or so. I am three weeks out today. Join the club. This too shall pass
