Re: New and 2 weeks post op

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth, I can certainly feel your pain. I hope i get this right, and read

somewhere that

the reason we get so emotional when we newly post op is because there is a

hormone that is stored in fat the effects our emotions, when you start losing

fat so fast the hormone is released and that is why we get so emotional, but

don't worry it starts to clam after about 6 months. I use to feel anxiety too,

about not doing something right, failing at weight loss surgery, having a blood

clot, but all of this goes away, hope i didn't add to your fears. I hope the

info helps.

Hi,

I am 2 weeks post op WLS. Not really familiar with searching for

already discussed topics so I'm hoping that you will bear with me. My

question is, is it normal to be so emotional...I cry for no reason,

feel anxious and even fearful with absolutely no reason? In addition,

I have absolutely NO appetite. I am trying to force down protien

shakes 6 times a day but it is a chore at best.

Any responses will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email me

privately as I don't want to clog the list with something that may

have been hashed and rehashed.

Thanks,

Beth

Hi Beth,

I talk to my husband, and he told me that we got the last name hodge when his

mother married his older sister's father. His name was , he also had a

sister here by the name of Maureen. My sister-in-laws name is Kendria Annette

Hodge but we call her annette, and a couple of years ago she went to a family

reunion in Buffalo, I wonder if we are of some kin, that would be soooooo

coooool. Does any of this sound familiar?

Thanks so much for your response. I had my first post op visit

today and they told me the same thing. Now that I've been cleared

to drive I feel a whole lot better. I'm also going to see my psych

tomorrow since I haven't seen him in a looooooooooong time.

This really seems like a nice group. Usually I just lurk, on groups

but maybe this one will be different.

My last name is Hodge also. My husband's family is from Buffalo,

Rochester, and town, NY. Any kin in common?

Again, thanks for your response. I was really feeling pretty crazy

and feel so much better now.

Beth
