Frustrated

So three weeks post op and I have noticed I have no patients for anything. I wish I understood why I am so annoyed all the time. Did anyone else deal with this through the first month.

I had more issues with serious anger right after surgery and the first week home, than now, 3 weeks out. But I had a lot of complications and was in a lot of pain. Actually, I was very emotional across the board. I was crying a lot out of nowhere, frustrated, and upset. Worried, stressed and annoyed at everything and everyone.

I actually feel I am mellowing a bit, now. Not quite the angry fat chick I used to be. lol

It might just be adjusting to our new lives. I wonder if our bodies aren't literally in shock, because we are essentially in starvation mode now. I'm not experiencing hunger, but others do...so it would make sense. It's also a huge lifestyle change. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself about that. If you trace your emotions back, they can only come from one of two places. Love or Fear. Trace each emotion back, and find the roots, that might help solve things for you. :)

Keep posting, vent, let it out.

I am just 2 wks and not feeling annoyed, but definitely sensitive to all emotion. I think part of it is the fear of the unknown and the lack of control. Being on such a strict schedule of food and Water and Vitamins, that is ultimately what we HAVE to do (obviously we chose it), or else. We no longer have a smorgesboard of options at our disposal and are no longer free to graze and roam on the food aspect of our day. I have have the fear in the back of my mind of eating too much, not drinking enough water, getting sick, moving to the next food stage, feeling tired forever, etc. All of this will pass, but we are right in it. Push through and be patient and kind to yourself! :)

I had my two week postop last Wednesday and I have never snapped at so many people in my life! When my husband asked how it went I just shook my head and told him it was the least gracious performance of my life.

I'm 2 weeks post op today and I'm not snappy, just kind of sad. I miss my friend, food!
