10 days post op with a SHORT fuse!

[AJW 18]

IDK if this is what others experience, but since surgery I have had the shortest anger fuse ever! I used to be very laid back, easy going, not much rattled my cage, but after the surgery - wow, I'm ready to take anyone/everyone's head off with one bite! There was an incident in the grocery store where this guy in line behind me was standing too close and crowding me for no reason. It was all I could do to keep from turning around and telling him to BACK THE F off!! That's how reactionary I've become. At first I thought maybe it was hormones, and maybe it is, but I have zero patience with people these days which makes me almost leery of going out in public. My nice-attude has turned into piss-attude, know what I mean?! Anyone else experience this, or is this just me?:sneaky2: I got a PAST DUE bill in the mail today which of course is a mistake as I never got the original bill. I called the bookkeeper loaded for bear! She didn't answer so I unloaded on her via voice mail. I'm scaring myself!

I honestly wonder if this is just because you are consuming less calories? To your body it is just like skipping a meal. I know I get grouchy if I miss lunch.< /p>

/ It's more than that; it's like major PMSing which I was never prone to before.

As you lose weight that estrogen stored in fat is released. I think it could cause a major hormone alert lol

Your body is going through so many changes right now, and your hormones are probably all over the place as well. Not to mention, you are probably tired of the post-op diet and still in the recovery phase. I wouldn't worry too much, I am sure you will be back to your old self in no time.

OK, maybe, I guess....did you go through this?

I didn't experience that thank goodness. I hope it passes for you (and others around you) soon.

I did go through it, for about three weeks. My prozac couldn't touch my moodiness.

I think a lot of times when we are under stress, we get a little edgy. Even if post-surgery is going well, all the changes are bound to be stressful IMO.

How are we feeling today?

Thanks you guys and Susan. Appreciate knowing it's not just me.

BTW, when I broke my leg in 1998 and had to have surgery to repair it, I was crying every day after about 5 days post-op. IMHO our body needs to release the trauma in some manner, and crying just seems to be the way it does it at least in women. Don't know about men. I don't think it has anything to do with food, just with trauma.

So far, so good but the day is young yet and I do have to go to the grocery store. God help 'em!

Yell at a bag boy and kick a puppy (if you see one). That is sure to make anyone feel better.

I did, I became a homicidal maniac a month out. Seems to have calmed down now thank goodness.
