Does anybody else go through mood swings since they had weight loss surgery? I don't know what's wrong with me sometimes. I take care of my elderly grandparents. I do the cooking, laundry, and help out with doctor appointments. When I cook I have to cook my food separately because since surgery a lot of things they still eat I can't eat right now.

So I was advising my grandfather that he may need to order take out for him and my grandma because the spaghetti didn't turn out right and he begins to jump down my throat. Now I'm doing my best and it seems like I get no appreciation for it. So I snapped, and explained to them that I'm doing my best and it doesn't help that they are jumping down my throat like its my job to do this. Maybe I'm wrong for getting upset, but when someone is trying to help you and the only one out of the 5 grand kids to help them then they should be more appreciative. Sorry just needed to vent.

For the 1st few months post-op, I was having major mood swings, then everything went back to normal. But the 1st 2 weeks post-op were the worst, I wanted to fight the world!!

It took me a solid year to quit wanting to fight the world. I'm sure you will level out much sooner. I'm just slow to adjust. These days I'm pretty even keeled and don't let much bother me. I even ignore most annoying or unreasonable things people do.

It's only occasionally that I get mad about anything. Don't worry - you'll adjust. It's hard to deal with but you'll find your own way.

I can blame WLS for my moods!?!?!?!

I am the only female in the house and I hear the "M-word" (I am old, menopause) a lot

I will correct them as soon as I get home ;D

Yes it is terrible. I get really angry over things I usually don't get mad about. It sucks!!!

7 months out and I am still a little more quick to lose my temper. No you are not wrong to be upset about doing something nice for them and they are not appreciating it.

Oh my, I haven't even had the surgery yet and I am Moody! God help them and us. Them- the innocent (or antagonists) to deal with our cranky behinds and help us to be gentle and kind to "them" and ourselves.

Gggrrrr
