CrAnKy! With a capital B!

[MassageMini 31]

Geez! I've heard of getting irritable and depressed. I just had no idea how bad it is. I thought I've been through hell. Of course I could handle it. YA RIGHT! I'm not depressed but I'm so freaking cranky! Slightly weak as well. Mostly I just can't hold back what I really think. I'm usually a happy go lucky sweet person. NOT NOW! I think the surgery took my niceness with the stomach!

Anyone else experienced this!? ????

Definitely a Yes for me. It's been tough not being able to use food in the way I used it before, my substitute for feelings, boredom, love etc.... I think it's going to be a very revealing journey, that always reveals something new everyday. I've chosen not to be the Hangry monster to my loved ones. A very conscious effort has to be made every moment to not slip. I notice it's gotten better with my attitude change. All positive thoughts nothing negative allowed. It just takes effort. I've really enjoyed meditating more now. It balances my moods better. Good luck with your journey.❤️

I agree. I realized today I really need to put the effort forward to be polite through this! Positive energy and that is all!

It not only lifts your spirits but to those around you. We've taken on such a major life shift, a shift that will continually ebb and flow in all sorts of ways, that we need all the positive vibes we can keep around us, at all times.

My family just keeps asking if I'm taking my depression meds. Obviously they don't get that not being able to eat anything and only drink clear fluids, feeling sore, and tired will make someone a bit touchy. Oh and to mention those depression meds are a b* to get down anyway

I was in the same boat and really worried! Once I started on soft foods, it got 110% better!

I agree, I am finally able to have purée chicken and everything has gotten ten times better.. It doesn't come up and I'm smiling a little bit more. My family buys fast food and I don't care as much as I did when it was straight liquids. Thank God .. My kids and husband were hiding from me for awhile.

During my second week post-op, I became very irritated. Everything annoyed me. I even posted something about it on here just like you. For me, the irritation was short lived. Just a few days. And I haven't felt that way since. Lovin' every day now!

Im 7 weeks out and in the last couple of weeks my weight loss has picked up and my lack of patience has quadrupled. I'm sick of being a b!+(#..... I know its the hormones getting released out of the fat but Ughhhh I try to keep it bottled but like a tea kettle when its hot its blows..... for my family and friends I hope this chills soon.

Ugh I have been miserable since day 1. No caffeine, no sugar, no food! What do you expect! I also take depression meds and wonder if they are not being absorbed properly! I was hoping I would feel better and have more energy post surgery. Hasn't happened yet, I am 6.5 weeks out. I have have diarrhea since the surgery. I am praying this too will pass. Best of luck to you!

I am now 3.5 months post op and things have gotten better :-) I have less extreme bitch moments and life feels better. I wish I had more energy to enjoy my 65lbs lost. I figure in time I will. MMMMMmmmm COFFEE!!

Just with the diet changes i'm making pre-op, i understand. I am recently diagnosed diabetic, and i hope to have surgery in early October, and it's that goal that is keeping that crankiness in check for now. But sometimes, yeah, the "hangry" cant be contained. I had a hysterectomy last November, but prior to that i was on hormonal treatment primarily used with cancer patients. It's high dose progesterone, and for cancer patients, it's supposed to make them feel "happier". NOPE, NOT ME! I wanted to rip my husband's head off one second and go bawl in the corner the next. We'd fight, and i'd be yelling or crying, trying to explain i KNEW it was the hormones but i just can't control it...I was a rollercoaster. For him, being the one with the shorter fuse normally, he handled it as graciously as he could. I'm hoping to not have that same fluctuation after surgery this time.

My husband had the bypass in Jan and was really grumpy for a few months. Back to his sunny self now thank God. I'm 3 days post op sleeve and going to try really hard not to put the family through grumpy stage. ????
