Emotional

Is it normal to be Emotional and cry over little things after surgeryρ I cried first time I got out of bed and I cried because I couldn't tell if I was hungry or full. I think a hat could fall and I would cry over it LoL. Am I weird or is it normal to be this wayρ  

While everyone reacts somewhat differently, it's very common to have overwhelming emotions, especially shortly after surgery. I hope it helps to know that this will pass. 

Very normal. I was emotional at alot of different times over the first month. Now three months out the emotions are more in check but I still break out in a good cry every now and then. Fortunatly I have a sister that is more than willing to give me an attitude adjustment and helps me focus on whats important..
Take your time and be patient with yourself. This journey is a long one, no hop skip and a jump. More like an RV ride across the country (twice lol).

Good luck and congrats on the start of your journey,

Thanks for the answers I don't feel like a nut job anymore! And its great that there is a place where I can go and talk to others about this stuff and they have already been thru it. Its nice to have that support.  

 I cried a few times too.  My first walk, when my body wouldn't let me pee so I could go home and finally 4 days later when it let me and they said I could go home...lots of crying!  Tears of joy and some of pain but ALL WORTH IT.

 I am only 2 weeks out and I am falling apart left and right so it is ok. 
Right now it is because I am not losing a single pound so I understand. I spent about 3 days swearing I had made the biggest mistake of my life and questioned everything I did. It is still hard but it seems to level off a bit each day and then you will have another bad day but I think it will be fewer and far between. Although trust me I am in the same boat. I am hear if you want to sound off to and whine with me. Huggggssss

I was a freaking mess for the first 4 months?? my poor husband i had ragging hormones PMS city man, then i would cry and cry and cry.. I had never felt depression like this.
So i brought it up to the doctor. I was like give a pill or something i'm done.. I'm suppose to be happy and excited about the new me, yet i'm not.. I hate life right now.. What did i let you do to me..
HE explained it to me, as if i had lost a family member.
WE go through mourning aspects of life..
We Are emotional due to hormones, ragging PMS due to hormones(nice right)
we get depress because we broke off a life time long friend ship with food, then the rest of the emotions that come with mourning the lost of someone..
Once he put it like that i started to understand.. I wasn't crazy. At about 6 months is when i started to notice my body changing, and the sun came out from the dark ass cloud i had been living under..
Chin up ladies.. The first few months are so rough,but it is so so worth it in the End..

There are only a couple of things that are different since surgery and this is one of them.

If there is a super sensitive switch, surgery turned it on for me! Being overweight all my life I developed a thick skin early. Kept emotions hidden. You could never make me cry.

After surgery, I cried at ANYTHING! You mentioned crying at the hat falling. It's your hat but I would have cried too! 

I am almost 4 years out and I am better but I am still more sensitive and prone to cry at things I never would have thought twice about. Seems I shed my thick skin with the weight. 

Hang in there! Sometimes tears are good for the soul!
