1 month after surgery:

Boss: I don't understand why we can't just make things work on this project.

Me: I don't understand why you can't get what I'm saying through your fuckin' head.

Boss: I don't need to put up with this from you, and he walked away.

Me, Loud enough for all to hear: Bye Felicia!

Spent 2 months in the doghouse for that one.

Oh. Mah. Gawd. I spewed coffee all over the keyboard and almost landed a double fontaine that even an East Germany judge would have given at least a 9.9 for degree of difficulty! Hi-LAR-ious!

Hello everyone! I'm new on here. I was sleeved on 6/19/17 and here lately my moods swings are just uncontrollable! I'm happy then crying or mad at the world and for no reason! Can Anyone else relate to this? Am I the only one emoji17.png

I am not quite this unhinged, but I will say that when I get my period or around that time, I am raging b***h. When I do get mad or sad or angry.. its worse than it was previous. I think it has a lot of do with hormones... Hopefully they will line back up for you, and you will get back to your normal self. Good luck!

I cried all day yesterday for no apparent reason. Today I'm fine. It's weird, for sure!

Last night my husband and I just talked about this. I feel like all my vices were taken from me i can't eat my feelings, drink or smoke. But I'm trying to use exercise as a vice but it's hard.

When you lose weight all the stuff stored in your fat comes out. It's normal to feel this way for sure. :)

I'm only 7 days out and I feel really depressed I guess because my relationship with food is over. Breakups are never easy. I keep reading that it gets better though and once I start eating real food I'll feel normal again

I have been fortunate not to have mood swings post op. I did become quite irate for no reason during the preop phase. I was on Optifast for 2 weeks. I was hangry for most of the 1st week and felt like I could punch people in the throat if they looked at me the wrong way. The only thing that kept me from doing so was that it is illegal....lol.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
