Mood Swings

[Flost9823 7]

So I am 6 days post-op today. Surgery was done on 6/14. Im a Realtor, so I started working from home Sunday, 6/18. I am doing and feeling well overall but has anyone experienced mood swings after surgery? Like 1 minute I'm calm and the next, if someone says something that I don't agree with, I'll snap and say something to them. Then 5 minutes later I feel sorry for getting angry with them.

I am also diagnosed with ADHD and not sure if my Adderall dosage needs to come down because my stomach is now smaller. Maybe that's it, I don't know.

Let me know if any of you have experienced this. I would greatly appreciate it!

I was an emotional mess the first week or so after surgery. My poor husband! I can't speak to the ADHD meds, but as far as feeling emotional goes, that will get better.

I feel like I've been on a major mood swing since the surgery. lol! Yes, it's totally normal IMO.

Just be glad your body will be flooded with Testosterone and not Estrogen like us lucky ladies get. You guys get to lose weight quickly and Testosterone helps you build muscle quickly and you get super focused on being jacked. Us? We get to cry and get irrational crushes. lol!!

But yes, totally natural. I mean, it feels completely insane but it's apparently totally natural.

Definitely looking forward to the testosterone boost! I'm 27, so there should be a lot! [emoji23]

I also had my sleeve on the 14th, well done for getting back to work so soon. I've experienced a few little mood swings I've been told it normal to be sort and easily frustrated to start with mainly because your body is trying to function as normal but on a quarter or less of the calories.
