Emotional Rollercoaster

[voutman 15]

I had my Sleeve done on Oct 7, 2013 and this last week I've experienced some bad emotions that has effected my daily living!

I'm very angry, can cry at the drop of a hat and just not liking these feelings to the point it scares me!

Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? Is this a side effect to the surgery?

Any input would be truly appreciated!!!

Oh that first month mark is notorious for anger and depression. I think in the first few weeks you are dealing with pain and healing. Now the real work sets in..

I really feel that this sadness and anger is us mourning food. Your old friend food is no longer there to medicate those feelings of anger frustration, despair and boredom. You are left to your own devices and need to come up with other ways to deal with life.

Talking it out with friends and a counselor really helped me. And also knowing this is a really normal phase made me not feel so crazy.

In addition to everything Laura wrote, our hormones are going crazy between the stress of surgery, losing weight and estrogen being released from our burned fat.

You need to talk to someone, a family member, a friend and have them checking on you since it sounds like you're having it pretty bad.

Hugs! I hope you feel better soon.

Not having any food issues .... It's just I'm so angry, snap at times, cry at the drop of the hat and just hating myself! I don't like it and wondered if it was related to the surgery or if anyone else experienced these feelings!
