I'm Mad

[Jhealan 62]

I am 8 days post-op and am feeling pretty good! That is until today... I woke up mad! And I don't mean just a little mad, I mean uncontrollable mad. The biggest thing is I don't even know why. I feel like I'm just going to blow up at anyone that talks to me. Anyone else have this happen to them.

Oh yes! get ready soon it will be followed by the weepies. Emotional lability is a hallmark of the recovery for some reason. Anger, happiness, bitterness, sadness...all make their appearance on the stage.

Tell your loved ones to take cover, recognize this is temporary and watch carefully what you say to folks to minimize the "damage".

I think a lot has to do with just physical recovery. Exhaustion makes one cranky as does pain. Additionally, when your body releases fat, estrogen stored in it floods your system. And then add to it that perhaps your fav way of comforting yourself just went away too and we're just totally off kilter.

The good news? You're just like everyone else! Which means, you too will lose weight just like everyone else! See, always a silver lining.

Add me to the "mad at the world" crowd! I was pissed at the world for the 1st week post-op. I was ready to fight anyone. The feeling went away at the end of the week. :-)

I definitely had a bout of that. But it passed. The benefits of the sleeve to me out weight the changes you experience.
