Irritability

[LisaCh 13]

It’s been just over three weeks since my sleeve. I’m super irritable. Anyone else? How long did it last?

Mine ended once liquids were over because liquids were BS

I’m on soft foods and I’m so damn irritable. I’m annoying myself.

I had some extreme irritability during the pureed foods stage, but it died down, and I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's gone. Talked to the doc and it's apparently a really common thing.

Your body is going through some huge adjustments, it thinks you're starving, and you may be dehydrated on top of it. Of course you're irritable!

For me: snack+drink+children's tylenol (liquid) +a nap seemed to mostly do the trick. Plus a ton of apologies after the fact

it also could be due to the "hormone dump" that a lot of people have. Estrogen is stored in fat cells, so it's released during rapid weight loss. Should balance out within a few weeks...
