Hi all. I'm nearly 6 weeks post sleeve. My weight loss is on point, I did have a complication (stricture) and was ballooned a few days ago after not being able to really eat without throwing up.

I just feel like an emotional basket case. My mood is blah & everything sets me off mad.

I have yelled at my poor kids more in the past few weeks than ever in their lives ( 14yr & 12yr olds).

I do not like the person I am right now!!

Is it from not dealing with my emotional relationship with food ?

Lack of carbs ?

Lack of calories ?

Or am I really losing my patience & this is how I will be ?

Anyone who has been through this? Please advise !! I had complications, but go back to work in 1 week, too.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Betty I'm more emotional and crying do you get this?

Thank you for bringing this up. Although I'm not even at the pre-op stage yet due to NHS access requirements needing to be satisfied even prior to the offer of surgery, this is something that I need to factor into my own personal cost/benefit analysis that I'm compiling to aid my decision on surgery. Or at the very least need to have a coping strategy in place before it's needed.
