Anger Problems

[tmoss 33]

I had my sleeve done 3/26 but since then I have been dealing with withdrawals. I have never had an anger problem but find myself getting mad over the fact I can't eat what everybody else eat. I'm glad I had this procedure done but watching people eat fried foods and sweets works my nerves. Have anyone else experienced this?

Tmoss,

Congrats on our surgery. You are less than 1 month post op. you should be on a liquid diet i guess. Don't be mad because you can't eat regular food now, your stomach cannot handle it yet. Bu the day will come, in just another month or less, according to your surgeon's and Nut instructions, you will be able to eat small quantities of regular food. This period will be beyond you in just another month.

For irony, when i go to a restaurant with my wife and two daughters, they order regular plates and i order a kids meal !!!

Hang in there...

I also had gastric surgery on 3/26. I have not experienced anger but some sadness and fear about my decision. I was told, by my surgeon, that many patients experience a sense of loss after surgery, particularly the loss of their former eating habits. I had to remind myself of why I had decided to have surgery and my goals. I hope you are able to find some peace as you recover.
