I'm not going to say that this is what's going on with you, just my own personal experience. For myself, when my irrational rage and irritation rears its ugly head, I am dipping a little lower in my depression. It may be something you want to talk to your doctor about. That being said though, my irrational rage and irritation is usually like my mother-in-law talking with her mouth full of food or repetitive noises. I do tend to agree with a lot of the other posters in saying that this could be perfection normal result of the surgery. I think getting irked at someone for being a jerk that showed no concern for a fellow human should be considered "normal." What she did is just rude!

I know it doesn't make you feel good about your self But it will grow back ...You won't go bald and there is not much you can do but up your Protein to 65-70g a day also try nail Vitamin and also( boition) It will help your hair grown faster. try taking zinc,vitamin E and up your Iron..But there is no scientifically proven if this work but it's worth a try...As for depression this is grieving over loss of food ( sugar,fast foods and just making us feel good ) and stress.. you have loss 85% of your stomach ...this takes time you might need to talk to your Dr and or dietitan thing are going to be difficult and overwhelming I work in my yard take walks it help dealing with stress without turning to food..Also this is a Big hormones change to your body be good to yourself..

I am in a very similar position. I know some people in this group or at the meetings have mentioned the ups and downs of hormones during this process, but I would like to add that I am completely irritated and angered by the littlest, trivial things. Most of the time I know I am getting angered over something stupid and I feel my temperature rising, and I can quickly stop myself. Today, however, my tone of voice towards my husband was not the best. I quickly apologized but I still feel guilty. I hope my mind and body catch up to one another soon. I don't like being irrationally nasty. I never had any issues with depression, so I am not so sure that is what it is for me. I also had to see a psychiatrist (protocol) before I could get approved for surgery and he didn't find any underlying issues in the 10 times I went.

Kulita - Yes, that's what I'm getting at. My irrational anger (and yes, rage) is over the stupidest things. My temper is hair trigger. I see it happening. I feel it happening. I can't seem to stop it.

I'm working on it though...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
