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

      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!!
