anyone else a bit crabby??

I have found myself to be a bit unbearable the past few days, i was just wondering if anyone else seems to be on an emotional roller coaster? Nothing has drastically changed in the past few days, but I am constantly yelling at my daughter and husband, i am miserable at work, and just don't smile much. I am not weepy, as I have heard others say, just plain old MEAN. Before this sudden change, I was very happy! No regrets, love my new life, etc..This isn't like me at all, and I can't put my finger on one particular thing that has made me so cranky. I am in the middle of my monthly cycle, so that is not it, I guess i was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Thanks for your input. Karyn

Wow! Look at your new pic, Renee. You look great!

Hey Renee: Man I love your new picture. You do not even look like the same person! Just gorgeous! As far as the mood goes, I just went through a 3-week stall, myself (it finally broke!). But, during that time, I was CRABBY! Very irritable...did not want to talk to anyone or do anything. Maybe it was just a little phase of depression. Coincidentally (or, more likely, not!) once the stall broke, so did my mood! Maybe that will happen for you, as well! Keep your chin up! Love and hugs, Jersey Mom

I think we're tired. We've been pushing ourselves steadily for 4-5 months post-op PLUS how ever long it took us pre-op. I for one feel we have the right to be a bit crabby at this point in our journey. I love you all and am really glad to be able to share this roller coaster with you. Robin

I feel the same way inside. I try to be happy when I am around people because nobody really understands, but I feel yucky inside. I don't know when this really happened, but it seems like it has been going on for days on end. I am generally a really happy person, but inside right now I feel so tired. I guess I need to check my iron levels again and all that to make sure things are really ok. I am so sure that there is a physical reason for this because heaven forbid the perky me not being the perky me without some horrible, life threatening reason. haha. Celeste

I feel this way too! Glad to know that I am not alone! Sue

I think it has to do alot with the change in our diets. We are not eating the foods we used to eat... all the sugars that got us happy...food was our friend..now we are having to find something else to keep us happy. The weight loss is a huge rollercoaster on your emotional state...hopefully it will all balance out soon!! You are not alone Anna

You know, since surgery Karyn I get crabby when I am in the middle of my monthly cycle now. I was so irritated on Monday at work as I kept getting interrupted every five minutes. I just wanted to be left alone. I came out of my funk the next day so I think and hope it has passed. It's probably all related to losing weight and hormones being released to make us crazy! Hang in there, it won't last forever. Karen S.

I've been crabby the last couple of weeks and don't think for me that it's the food, just too much going on and too much to do. It could also be hormonal changes, especially for me at 46 years old. Karla

Hi Karyn If you're a crab for a few days, don't sweat it. No one can be all sunshine and light all the time. But if it lasts for more than a couple of weeks you should talk to someone about it. We have all gone through a lot with the surgery. This has been very stressful even if we haven't felt it yet and yes hormones are raging. So don't be afraid to ask for help if and when you need it. Until then hang out here withy us and we will try and help you throughy Regards and hugs, Ronna
