Depressed and GROUCHY



Recommended Posts

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op and lately I have been depressed and VERY GROUCHY. I have ZERO energy and all I want to do is sleep. I know it has to be a phase but I sure HOPE it gets over SOON. People that are not going through this don't understand at all. I actually had somebody at work ask me "why are you being such a B*tch lately". She KNOWS that I had surgery. Anyways, I've lost 34 pounds so I'm proud of that. I just needed to vent. Has anybody else experienced this??

Hey !!!! What's going on ???? tell me what you are eating/drinking ….I was low on energy at first too. but as I got more Water and Protein in on a daily basis it got better. Just hang in there .. it's kind normal... I say kinda because you may not be taking in enough water and protein and vitamins...

I also went through a spell where I was bitchy and depressed. I could cry at the drop of a hat. It did go away, just your body and mind trying to adjust!

Big tip, Stop worrying about weight loss right now. Focus on your intakes. The rest will fall into line. It sucks, but it's worth it... so worth it. Get those habits instilled now. That said, this is normal. It will pass, just work on your Water and whatever, this will pass.

You know what PMS is? Well now you're in its personal hell. Haha. When your body goes through trauma AND when there's a significant weight loss in a short period of time, your hormones go nutballs. It will calm down and even out as the weight loss slows to a more normal weight and your body is like oh okay cool I got this.

I just put myself in time out and went to bed early most nights with a book and a heated blanket.

6 pm? Night night ! Lol

How much Protein are you getting daily? I was averaging 60 grams per day and had very low energy. Talked to my nutritionist and she recommended I up protein to 70 or even 80 grams per day. That helped me have more energy. I am shooting for 80 grams daily now.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
