The mood swings from Hell...

Anyone else having these crazy mood swings, or is it just my period? :O One day I'm happy as pie (sugar free and low carb) and the next day I'm like a crazy woman -- I don't want to talk to anyone, don't want anyone near me and I do NOT want anyone asking me questions about my surgery, what I eat, how I feel, why I did it or what I'm thinking in general!! Really, thank GOODNESS I've been able to hold it in though and not say what's on my mind when I get like that... LOL! But I was just curious to know if anyone else has had these moments? I got my period 3 days ago and it was THE worst I've had in years. I literally stayed in bed for 2 days and took vicodin (lortab) because the cramps were so bad. SO I thought it might have just been my period, but I'm thinking the surgery might have compounded my period and everything else I've been feeling! One of my friends who had gallbladder surgery said that her period right after her surgery was much worse too, so maybe that's all it is and I will be "normal" again soon! Vi

Hey Vi, Aparently I am having mood swings also my mother informed me I can be fine one minute and biting her head of the next same with DH. I think it is normal for the fact your body is recovering from a major trama and is all out of sorts. Hopefully in a couple of months we will chill out some. Hugs Marcey

Thanks, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone!

Hey Vi, I know where you are coming from. One minute I am happy the next I will be crying. Then I have no idea why I am crying. My oldest son told me to take a chill pill. So you are not alone. It is getting better as the days go on. I will be happy to be back to my old self again. You take care it will be better soon. Thats what I keep telling myself. I feel great surgery wise I guess its just a mind thing. Take care Mary

Well at least I know I'm not getting some additional PMS trama and this will pass! I was hoping it was the surgery and not my PMS getting worse! HUGS, Vi

Yes, I am feeling much like I did after I gave birth to my daughter. I am bawling at a drop of a hat. Movies, sitcoms, commercials and even music videos are setting me off. I rented the Limmony Snickets move and can't make it past the first 15 minutes of the movie because the poor kids are being treated badly and it breaks my heart. Stupid, I know but I just can't seem to help myself. Hugs, Dawn

Ok, it's good to know that I'm not the only one who gets weepy over commercials.... :`( At least we know this is only temporary! HUGS, Vi

I'm right up there with ya. Today I had my first bad mood swing lol. Not to mention I was pissed at my family because their last words were " oh yea we're gonna do this with you as much as we can" and what do they do? They go eat out for breakfast lunch and dinner...donuts, mexican food, soda... I dont expect them to really lay off some of the foods, but eatting at home once in awhile would be nice....concidering I can't eat out and I've just been snappy all day lol. I hate it. Elizabeth

GIRL, don't even get me started!! I have wanted on more than ONE occasion to stab my husband with a fork for coming home with KFC, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, hot apple pie and entenmann's cakes (and this was only in 2 days). The man lost his job (thank god he just found another one) and was taking the kids to eat out at least 4 times a week. It's enough to make me homicidal. I'm trying so hard to get my kids off junk food and he's making it almost impossible... hopefully the DIVORCE will fix that, but I know when the kids are with him, they will be feed junk non-stop! UGH! But I'm with you, I miss eating out too. It was such a form of entertainment for me! Friday I'm going out to lunch with my girlfriends for the first time since the surgery and I'm thinking I'll either get a shrimp ****tail or some kind of soup, but it'll be hard watching them order all my old favorites and not being able to indulge. I'm up for this challenge though! I'll keep focusing on all the GOOD stuff that we'll get in the long run... like a thinner, healthier body!! Hang in there, we'll get past this! Vi

Hi all - I am glad that I am not loosing my mind. I treat for depression and am back on my antidepressants but I am the mood bit-- from h--l . At first I just took everyone's head off, now I can cry (and do) at the slighest thing. I mean I have always wanted the job as a professional crier or the hallmark crier but now it is worse than ever. Wearing my "heart" on my sleeve is one thing but this is just dumb. Thanks you all for helping me to believe that they might not come to lock me up soon . Ann
