    If you're having such noticeable problems and you think they may be tied to your surgery, you should definitely go back to your doctor. No one here will be qualified to give you good advice, ESPECIALLY if it could be a complication from your surgery. Make an appointment, express your concerns to you doctor, and see what they say.

    Agree you should see a doctor if it is linked to your surgery, it's worth keeping a detailed food and mood diary for them - every morsel that passes your lips and how you felt. Sometimes people assume that one food is the culprit and it is the serving size or another food that they are eating at the same time.

    In the mean time be sure you are eating a balance of ALL the food groups, getting ALL the nutrients your body needs on a daily basis. You might also ask your doctor about a freeze dried probiotic (friendly bacteria) supplement and, if you are eating low fat, about a high strength omega-3 supplement. You might also try eating to balance your blood sugar and even to improve sleep quality.

    Definitely contact your doctor...this is not something you should take random advice from strangers on the internet about.
