To ALL the ladies
I am 5 weeks out tomorrow and I am dying to know when these crazy hormones will subside. I already take an antianxiety/depression pill but I am really pushing the envelope at work. Please tell me it ends soon, when did you all stop feeling like the gremlin in the room and returned to feeling yourself?
HW 351 SW 314 CW 140 ~ Surgery Day 6/5/12 - The first day of the rest of my life!
We had surgery about the same time! :)
I also take an anti-anxiety/anti-depressant, but for the first little while, I really had to take my "as needed" as well as my once daily. I'm not saying that more medication is always the answer, but lady-friend, I recommend calling your PCP or surgeon and getting a script for something you can take as needed. You may not even want to take it but just knowing it's there can do a world of help. But "gremlin" doesn't sound like you're happy and comfortable so it may be just what you need to get over the hump.
The good news is I have gotten over (most) of my mood swings so hopefully, it is not far off for you, either!

RNY - June 8, 2012 and June 11, 2012
I was pretty psycho for the first 2-3 months and returned to normal happily & suddenly!

Oh, I remember those days. I didn't end up taking an extra med but I considered it. I was nutty, tired, extra grumpy and sore(had my gallbladder out two months after my RnY and it hurt).
But as Anna said, one day I woke up and felt fine.
So I don't have any useful advice, but I hope you're feeling better soon.
