Anxiety after sleeve

[TriciaMcGrath 1]

Has anyone experienced bad anxiety post op?? I’m 3 weeks out and it’s scaring the hell out of me!!!

I wonder if it might be the infamous hormone dump that a lot of people experience??

[TriciaMcGrath 1]

Yes that’s what everyone says! Hope it gets better

Do you know what exactly is causing the anxiety

[TriciaMcGrath 1]

Everyone says it’s my hormones!! I’m afraid to eat even though I’m doing fine. I just want anxiety gone! So scary

I had a melt down a few days ago. Now, I’m anxious again. I hope this is all that it is.

I’m 10 days out from surgery.

Which surgery..and how's your recovery

[LastChance57 35]

Gastric Bypass (with Hernia Repair, and Gallbladder Removal) on 10/2. I still have tummy pain but besides the 2 bouts (tears) I’ve had, it’s going pretty well. On 10/15, my doctor will let me know if I can have puréed food and I’m really looking forward to it!!

It isn’t uncommon for people to use food to ease anxiety without even knowing it. The ability to eat while stressed is removed the first few months so identifying what is causing it and learning to cope is really important for long term success. Of course your anxiety could also be due to wacky hormones, but I wouldn’t assume anything.
