So three weeks post op and I have noticed I have no patients for anything. I wish I understood why I am so annoyed all the time. Did anyone else deal with this through the first month.

I'm always kinda' snarky and impatient. lol

I had more issues with serious anger right after surgery and the first week home, than now, 3 weeks out. But I had a lot of complications and was in a lot of pain. Actually, I was very emotional across the board. I was crying a lot out of nowhere, frustrated, and upset. Worried, stressed and annoyed at everything and everyone.

I actually feel I am mellowing a bit, now. Not quite the angry fat chick I used to be. lol

It might just be adjusting to our new lives. I wonder if our bodies aren't literally in shock, because we are essentially in starvation mode now. I'm not experiencing hunger, but others do...so it would make sense. It's also a huge lifestyle change. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself about that. If you trace your emotions back, they can only come from one of two places. Love or Fear. Trace each emotion back, and find the roots, that might help solve things for you. :)

Keep posting, vent, let it out.

I definitely can relate. Granted, I was pretty dramatic and sassy before surgery lolol. I find myself getting irritated with my boyfriend. And super annoyed with my 2 year old, for well, being a 2 year old. Your body is changing. Big things happening in there! It'll get better :)

I am just 2 wks and not feeling annoyed, but definitely sensitive to all emotion. I think part of it is the fear of the unknown and the lack of control. Being on such a strict schedule of food and Water and Vitamins, that is ultimately what we HAVE to do (obviously we chose it), or else. We no longer have a smorgesboard of options at our disposal and are no longer free to graze and roam on the food aspect of our day. I have have the fear in the back of my mind of eating too much, not drinking enough Water, getting sick, moving to the next food stage, feeling tired forever, etc. All of this will pass, but we are right in it. Push through and be patient and kind to yourself! :)

I'm not really emotional about it at all... But what I do feel is done resentment at not being able to eat what I want!!! My emotional bond with food was strong and I am struggling to break up with it...

I had my two week postop last Wednesday and I have never snapped at so many people in my life! When my husband asked how it went I just shook my head and told him it was the least gracious performance of my life.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
