It's hormones. Lot of folks struggle with mood swings in the weeks after surgery. You're gonna be ok. It gets better. I'm always open to new buddies. I hope you feel better soon. This coming year you're gonna lose a lot of weight and your world will change for the better. You'll feel better. Give it some time.

I agree with the above. It's very normal to feel a little down at that stage after surgery. You've made some HUGE changes to your diet, and your body is going a little crazy. Hang in there - as you start to lose more weight and adjust to the changes, you'll start feeling better!! It's temporary. :)

Hi!

I was sleeved 12-19. We can be buddies! I also felt a bit blue right after surgery; all the changes right before the holiday was a bit much but I survived. I am feeling better now so I can tell you to hang in there. I too have my ups and down so I need to tell myself to hang in there as well. 😬

Remember your fat cells are releasing all kinds of goodies including hormones into your bloodstream. Remember how you cried when you were a teenager and thought no one understood you and everyone was mean? Welcome to your 2nd puberty. Things are gonna level out but it will take time.

Thank you. I’m 47. I thought peri-menopause was bad. I’m getting my period now (was irregular before). The irritability is awful, though, as it affects my 6 year old & I feel like I can’t control it. Ugh! Hope it ends soon.

My date was 12/5/17 and I’m starting to have mood swings as well. No real bad but out of nowhere. I’ve been on anxiety medicine but still seems to get irritable for no reason

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
