I'm back to work Monday. I feel very low today Bev so want to keep my mind busy by decorating the kids' bedrooms. I've got their clothes etc. piled up in my room so its got to be done to I can get everything put back.
If I don't keep busy I think I'd just sit & cry. I feel very foolish ...
Enjoy ur day Bev

Morning Jo,I'm feeling just the same-exhausted!
The first 3 weeks flew by for me with no pain & pretty much normal activity but since Friday I've been sleeping/napping so much & still tired!
Plus for the first time I feel a little emotional-no reason for it-just think I've been hiding what an emotional event this op is for me
Good luck with the kids bedrooms-its a daily battle with my 17 year olds bedroom!xxx

My kids are 15 & 16, their bedrooms are a nightmare. Got to clear the crap before they get even a lick of paint. The joys of motherhood
I've heard as we lose weight the hormones stored in our fat are released into our system, which if true may explain my mood swings.
I got some of my happy pills from my GP but I hate having to take them. But if I my mood doesn't improve I may have to.

Well you've inspired me to tackle the "dining foom" - shouldn't really be called that when it only gets used to eat in at Xmas!
At the moment it's a sea of jumbled up technology-& I barely know me cd's from me dvd's etc., so someone had better help me or they won't be able to find their games lol
ps - I hope my hormones do get going - i'm losing so slowly it would depress me to record it - I'll hang on to the hope that there will be less saggy skin/hair loss if I lose slowly!

jmo n poppet, the hormones do apparantly go flying round your body when you start losing your weight, but also a lot of ppl get a sort of post op blues, a bit like baby blues, so theres that as well. it makes all the worries n things magnified. if youve got happy pills off the doctor jacci, id take em, its worth it huni, and it will help you to feel better. poppet dont worry about the weight coming off slowely, as long as its coming off, tats all that matters hun, my weight comes off very slowly, but you can still see it. you will have times when it comes off quicker than others, are you drinking enuff fluids, and eating enuff protein, that helps.
please, the two of you, give yourselves a break and cut yourself some slack. your recovering from major surgery, and your whole lifestyle has been turned upside down, its bound to take time. great big hugs to both of you xxxxx

Never any need to worry with us Jacci... we are all women and have seen a lot... plus had the hormone rollercoaster... I was glad to have a hysterectomy and my ovaries removed... but it still caused fatigue... damn silly hormones...
Just take your time and do what you can, take what you need to and do it your way... listen to yourself and if you need to put your head down and rest do it.
We are all strong women... I think we could all write our individual novels... but being strong doesn't mean we don't have our weakness and vulnerabilities and it's only you that really know how you feel....
Always at your side and always supportive of anything you do.
Love and hugs Jacci xxx

Just take it steady though Jacci !
Hormones are stored in fat reserves and as you start melting the fat away, the hormones go scooting round your system.
It will pass! If you fancy chatting anytime let me know and I'll pm you my mobile . (I only get calls from the boys school and people trying to sell me double glazing so it will make a nice change !!!)

Aw J-Mo sorry to hear you are tired.
Well everyone says how positive I am, well I will let you into a little secret. When I walk I ratttle with all the pills I take....... LOL. I need them the help me through this journey as I know I cannot do it on my own and I am not ashamed of it either there is no crime in taking tablets for whatever reason.
You mustnt be afraid of taking any help that is given to you and if popping a few pills helps, will pop em.
Hope you feel better soon.

Im so sorry to hear you are a bit low today J-Mo, its hardly suprising though with whats been going on lately! You are such a strong lady but eventually the stress will show somewhere. I have happy pills too, they were the onlt tablet I was bothered about post op, I had to crush them at first but I can take them now ok. I was worried that if I couldnt take them Id get so down as everyone says the op can cause post op blues and hormone lows etc. Please dont wait till you are really low before you take them as they take weeks to get into the system. I hear you about staying busy but be careful not to do too much We are thinking of you hun, we are here if you need us (HUGS) XX

Thanks everyone!!!
The reason I'm reluctant to take my happy pills is I've had 2 very bad experiences with them. To give a short story, the first lost caused massive weight gain, I had to wean myself off them & the withdrawal symptoms were horrendous even though they weren't supposed to be addictive, The second lot caused me to have panic attacks, I've never experienced anything like it in my life!!
I've just nearly been reduced to tears by fact I nearly took a swig of pop!! I forgot all about my bypass, took a break from my decorating to get a drink. Opened fridge & there was a lovely bottle of ice cold diet coke, luckily I remembered before I opened it!!
If I don't laugh I'll cry!!
