TAH Emotional rollercoaster

I was three weeks yesterday as well. And the last few days I felt like totally depressed. I am on an antidepressant every day, but I find after surgery, I tend to dip down pretty low.
I think it's normal. I think we underestimate what our bodies go through during surgery with anesthesia, and especially if we had laparoscopic. We tend to think of it as not major, or non-invasive.
Thank God we have this board to remind each other to give ourselves a break.

Wow. This is so amazing to hear from so many of you that this roller coaster is normal and I'm not just a freak. thank you all for your amazing support!

You're not a freak. A few years ago I was ecstatic that I got to have a tummy tuck. I lost significant weight, and I had the money to do it. I went for it! Boy was I shocked when during recovery I was a total mess. I think all those drugs, and our bodies having some shock creates some sort of chemical imbalance.
You are not alone!
