So I am 6 days post-op today. Surgery was done on 6/14. Im a Realtor, so I started working from home Sunday, 6/18. I am doing and feeling well overall but has anyone experienced mood swings after surgery? Like 1 minute I'm calm and the next, if someone says something that I don't agree with, I'll snap and say something to them. Then 5 minutes later I feel sorry for getting angry with them.

I am also diagnosed with ADHD and not sure if my Adderall dosage needs to come down because my stomach is now smaller. Maybe that's it, I don't know.

Let me know if any of you have experienced this. I would greatly appreciate it! :)

I was an emotional mess the first week or so after surgery. My poor husband! I can't speak to the ADHD meds, but as far as feeling emotional goes, that will get better.

I feel like I've been on a major mood swing since the surgery. lol! Yes, it's totally normal IMO.

Just be glad your body will be flooded with Testosterone and not Estrogen like us lucky ladies get. You guys get to lose weight quickly and Testosterone helps you build muscle quickly and you get super focused on being jacked. Us? We get to cry and get irrational crushes. lol!!

But yes, totally natural. I mean, it feels completely insane but it's apparently totally natural.

Definitely looking forward to the testosterone boost! I'm 27, so there should be a lot!

I also had my sleeve on the 14th, well done for getting back to work so soon. I've experienced a few little mood swings I've been told it normal to be sort and easily frustrated to start with mainly because your body is trying to function as normal but on a quarter or less of the calories.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
