Depression / Mood Swing Questions

[biz316 1]

I just had my gastric bypass surgery on Nov 21st 2016 and I suffered from depression before my surgery. I have continued taking my anti depressants under my doctors orders. I have an appointment with him on monday and I will discuss further with him. I know Im only a few days out but what I was wondering from those who have had the surgery is if feelings of anger and bitterness toward others is normal? My lovely wife has been so good in helping me and looking after me but I still snap at her and kind of act like a d**k at some points becaus of mood swings which makes me feel worse. As I write this Im pretty upset and was just wondering if others have dealt with anger and emotional outbursts and if so how long they will last? Is it different in men than it is in women? With it being Thanksgiving and all I feel angry and bitter toward everyone eating nice food and being happy while Im laid up in bed sipping Water and Protein shakes.

I was sleeved the 9th and there was a roller coaster of emotions and frustrations... it's a couple weeks later and I'm feeling so much better.. don't be hard yourself.. Hang in there .. feel free to message me if you need to chat.. I too was on depression pills and it was another battle I needed to take head on.. that battle felt harder than the surgery.. in time it all seems to work itself out

It's totally normal to feel a little depressed at your stage. I did too. It will get better especially when you start the soft foods.

Here, here, me to.....depression and anxiety. I suffer from PTSD from a accident that left me disabled but ive had some bad mood swings since surgery. Idk if its hormonal or what but it can get bad at times. But ive learned to walk away and count to 10. I was in the store last week and someone made a racist statement to me because she wanted to get to where i was but she didnt say excuse me. I said to her excuse me would be the correct and fastest way to get here. She said this is why my kind isnt welcomed here anymore. Whats my kind? Wonderful, beautiful, intelligent.? The manager overheard her and asked her to leave stating they wont put up with those type of things in the store. Boy was she mad. I think if i wasnt on my meds, she wouldve seen another type of person. So i guess, theyre working....dont stress to much. But please try to count before snapping at the wife. If shes the one feeding you, she may snap back....lol hang in there

I was sleeved on the 27th of October. Right now, I'm not going to lie, I am a mean bitch. My husband can't do anything right, even his breathing annoys me.

I'm very stressed, still feel crappy, am tired, frustrated and not dealing well with it.
