Feeling irritable

[mysticcrow 1]

Has anyone else felt super irritable after their surgery? I'm almost 3 weeks post op and finding myself getting irritated with my husband and daughters more than normal. Maybe hormones?? Not sure.

Yes! It’s the hormones. I am so irritated with my husband all the time now.

I didnt know but I had it explained to me. Our hormones live in our fat cells. We are loosing weight rapidly and releasing all these hormones into our systems. I found it like the menopause or pregnancy all rolled into one. I cried so much and my ever caring husband got the full length of my tongue a few times when he was just trying to help.

I'm 8 weeks post op and it's so bad. I'm a mess to be honest. Mad all the time and really sad. Not having fun...

Yep, it will be the hormonal flush causing the emotional roller coaster. It’s like permanent PMT. It will settle as you lose more weight & are releasing less oestrogen into your blood stream. And you’ll get better at managing it as well. It’s why your menstrual cycle may get a bit screwed up too.

Plus you may be consciously or subconsciously mourning how you used to eat adding to the emotional swings.

I'm the same way! I'm 1 week post today and I'm so freaking snappy with my husband . He's been approved but waiting on his date. But has slipped into old eating habits and I snapped on him yesterday. I'm trying so hard to stay on task after surgery and it's like he doesn't even care how much he eats. He hasn't gained his required weight back and is still losing slowly but I feel like it won't be long before he gains it back.
