Emotional??

I know it's normal to be emotional after surgery and believe  me, I was VERY emotional the first week after!  Then it got better and things seemed to even out.  Now with my period looming in the  next few days(probably), I'm tearing up at the drop of a  hat!!  Is this  normal, and is this going to  happen every month from  now on??  I'm sure there will be changes to my cycle, just wondering what they might be and if I have to carry a box of Kleenex around with me for a week or two out of every month.... Flo

Flo, I think being emotional is normal.  The surgery is a shock to the system and things in your life are very different.  I was a little shaky the first month...but, once I got used to the routine, etc...and the weight starting coming off...things were great... Rosemary

Oh man can I relate to what your feeling.  I am just 6 months out from surgery and though it has gotten better,  I am still more emotional then I used to be.  Not only crying, but finding myself more easily agitated.  I always considered myself a pretty easy going person, but now look out if something hits me the "wrong" way.   It is excelerated before my period too.   Just this morning I was watching  Josh Groban (whom I love by the way) perform on Good Morning America and he was singing a song dedicated to our troops and I sat there in my living room all by myself and cried.  Now how crazy is that.     I think you will find it will get better with time.  But for now, kleenex may be your best friend..........lol.   Good luck and hope it subsides soon.

OMG Flo, it is SO normal it isn't funny!!! I remember my first week back to work (2 weeks after my surgery) I could not believe how much I wanted to cry for no reason at al!!! WTH???? I would use it to bust on a coworker - he teased me about being full from the "whole big 5- 6 tbs of food I could eat"!! I told him I was gonna start crying if he didn't stop picking on me!!! I was officially on the "Post WLS surgery emotional rollercoaster"!!! We both laughed our butts off!!! He's cool though - he's one of my biggest supporters so it was all in jest!!! It hasn't happened much recently so maybe it tapers off!! I don't know if/when the feelings stop but for now buckle up & enjoy the ride!!! Cece
