Day 6 Post Op Update
(I kinda feel like doing daily updates... if they get old fast, tell me pls!)
Today I am emotional. Not hysterical, but a big bottom lip and crocodile tears. I cried on the phone with the pharmacy because my Rx was delayed about 2 hrs. I cried last night because I wanted fried chicken, then I cried thinking about chickens being killed to make fried chicken. Then I cried more when my friend asked why I was crying. 
When I sit in one position for a long time, I get very bad ab cramps. But otherwise the pain is managable, yayyy! (I cried about having an ab cramp earlier.)
About to star****ching a funny movie... can?t wait to start crying about it any minute now.

I remember going through something similar. I don't know it was "hormone dump" or just exhaustion from healing from surgery. I vote for something to watch like Napoleon Dynamite, Uncle Buck or something like that...Mrs. Doubtfire...I could go on.

Sorry you are having a bad day! Just remember you had major surgery and cut yourself some slack! I had my emotional day on the way home from the hospital, the first pharmacy sent me to a second pharmacy whose computers were down, so went to a third and they said they couldn't fill "everything" so I needed to go to a 4th -- at that point I was bawling and about to start yelling (in that high squeaky voice that sound so awful) when my sister stepped in, took me home, put me to bed and then just took care of everything. That wasn't my lowest point -- all good from then on -- hope today is your low point and it's positive from here!

Omgggg what a pharmacy nightmare!!
I was being a bit jokey about all the crying... even while crying, I'm laughing at myself about the crying! It's just so bizarre. But it'll pass, you're right. :)

it is normal. It is called hormone dump and happens when one loses weight by burning fat. Hormones are stored in fat and as we burn the stored fat,the hormones are released into the blood stream rapidly,in a " dump".
It will level out and pass. Hormone dump can also make one " mean" so be aware of that as well. Hang in there. You got this.
