Is it normal to feel teary?

I have been quite teary lately and don't know why really.  I've gone back to work now for 6 hours a day and that is keeping me rather busy during the day.  Today I only lasted 4 hours as I've had a bad couple of days with food and still feeling a tad uncomfortable around the waistline where the incisions are.  I just want to sit and have a little cry a lot of the time. Am I normal?

Hi Karin,
Yep, very normal. Could be hormones or just chemistry changes causing you to be weepy. Hang tough, Sweetie.

Pretty darn normal.  Hormones released from your fat going away are what is to blame, from what I understand.  Plus going back to work is stressful when you are still tired.  Get your rest and fluids in.  It should get better.

Good Morning Karin
YES very normal, try to hang in there get a good hot cup of tea and watch a funny movie. It is what got me through it.

you are completely normal!  i didn't get teary.....i had total meltdowns!  i would just fall apart at the drop of a hat!  then after it was over....i'd be totally embarassed about it because it would be over nothing!  plus you might be going through a grieving process.....i grieved over the loss of my comforter....which was food!

wishing you the very best!!!!

Completely normal.  I was very weepy.  Those hormones wreck havok on our bodies.  It will get better.  Hang in there.

I am so with you KarIn!!! Teary eyed all the time at work. I dont actually cry just teary. Maybe I just dont want to be at work???

Hang in there!!!

My surgeon prescribes a low-dose antidepressant (or at least he did with me), and it's helped me a lot. I hadn't noticed any mood changes at all, and then one week I was crying a lot and I had no idea where it came from. I looked at my medicine organizer thingy and realized I hadn't taken my Celexa in over a week! I started taking it again and everything went back to normal. He wants us on it for 6 months and then after that we can decide if we want to be on it or not, but I think it's helping me out a lot.

 Oh great!!!!  I'm going to be a macho man sitting around crying............say it isn't so.   One would think that just the volume of life changing  actions we have all undertaken would make anyone emotional.

Well we cry because our fat contains estrogen and it gets released as we lose weight. I'm not sure that guys need to worry about that, but I bet your fat contains some kind of hormones so you might still have mood swings.
