Anger & Aggression After Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced an extreme increase in anger & aggression? I am mad at the world & ready to fight at any minute, have horrible road rage and am so irritable & impatient! I'm a hot mess & it is ruining my life & relationship with my fiancé & friends! No one can stand me!!! This makes me regret my surgery so much, all I wanted to do was improve my health & life... && all I've done was ruin it, although I am almost 4 months post op & have lost 73lbs & feel great about myself more but it seems like I hate everything else idk... Please help... I have made an appt with a psychiatrist for next month but in the meantime I'm just a mess!

yes, get help. The psy is a good idea. WLS is hard on your body. I can tell you in a normal day if I ate only what a WLS patient eats I would be so hungry/angry I would be a BEAR.

Any of us who qualify for WLS have most likely been using food to deal with most of our emotions - especially the negative ones - for years. Now that crutch is gone and we are left having to feel our feelings. It makes sense that you might not be equipped to handle them in a healthy way. Sounds like a therapist or psychologist will be helpful to you. Ask your fiance to be patient with you while you learn how to deal with this new lifestyle and new body, I'm sure you'll learn new coping techniques soon!

I am short-tempered and I cry a LOT. I was seeing a psych before and still am. I think it is just an adjustment, at least I hope so. This surgery is hard on the whole body and the mind.

I just want to commend you for getting out there and asking for help! You made an incredible decision and have had dramatic changes in a very short period of time. We expect the physical changes and anticipate positive change emotionally, but as @@AmyC65 pointed out having one of our coping mechanisms taken away can create sadness and/ or anger. I already anticipated sadness and depression and loss, but not anger. Let us know how you do, I'm praying for you @@Amour.de.lionne!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
