Ooh ohh I wanna answer this one..heehee!

Well here it goes, pre wls I would be mad, angry, hurt, upset and I'd suck it up and eat eat eat eat until I felt comforted. Now? I have no choice but to feel the emotions. if I have to state my opinions and stand my ground a little more then everyone else will have to suck it up for a while. My crutch is gone for crying out loud...

Good news- the more successful you are the less angry you will become.

So ride this wave proud and strong and for gods sake don't give up!

Minimi one wise woman!

I haven't had this problem yet, but glad Mini pointed this out so when I do I can recognize it for what it is.

Take a deep breath and count to ten, go for a walk, soak in tub, read a good book and like Mini said"ride it out".

(((((Hugs)))))

This is actually an area I'm a little worried about. It's the reason I steered clear of some of the weight loss drugs. In the past when I used ephedrine based diet pills I would get grouchy and snap easily at people. I was not the most fun to be around. I discovered that for me St. John's Wort did the trick and I was able to balance out the moodiness with an herbal antidepressant. Of course, that was ephedrine. Does anyone use anything (legal) to balance out the irritability? What has been said so far makes sense--I completely agree that food is my crutch. But I work in an area where I may not have the support and understanding if I come across too much like a jerk even if temporarily.

I take Algavit. I get it from Italy from my family but its online too. They are algae supplements and they KNOCK OUT hunger with NO side effects. I don't take them all the time but I have taken them. I think the equiv would be spiralina???

I've noticed that I am much more bolder in expressing my feelings to put it lightly. Is it because we have lost weight and we have a better self-esteem, maybe more outgoing? I'm generally happy but I can bite a head off at times! I am 45...maybe I'm menopausal Pre! At any rate I refer to the "calming down steps" I use with my preschool teachers and children. I guess at times I need to take deep breaths...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
