I'm about 6.5 months post-op; is anyone else out there an emotional wreck? I'm tearing up over stupid commercials and constantly irritated with my husband....I've read that estrogen plays a role when losing weight rapidly....but will it stop soon 'cuz this sucks!!

Its very common... I found that the best thing to do was to exercise. Just like with cramps or other hormone related moods exercise seems to even things out.

Agreed...exercise. I try to go daily. But it's the only thing to keep my head and heart in place.

I'm so sorry that you're feeling this way, but I'm so glad that you posted. I was hoping that it wasn't just me! I'm hoping that exercising will help and that I'll quit being so upset and...let's just say "difficult" :)

I feel that way too. Sometimes exercise really helps but at times I feel so crummy that I don't even want to exercise. It will pass just like any other weight loss caused problems. My boyfriend tends to forget that I am supposed to be a walking PMS crazy person, so we have been fighting more often. I'm not worried though I am just sticking to my guns and pushing thru. You will be fine too just keep up the good work and try to stay positive.

Now I wonder if since I am 50 and my menstrual cycle is almost obsolete, maybe happens every 4 months or so, if I will experience the same thing and if so to what degrees?

OMG now I am scared it will start the cycles back!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

:angry:

:D

I have an IUD and NEVER had a period before surgery. I woke up the morning after surgery in the hospital with my period. It is very likely that you will have cycles and they can be irregular for a while. If you have depressed feelings for more than a few weeks, you should talk to your doc. Mine warned me that depression a few months later is common and if last longer than a few weeks, treatment might be necessary for awhile.

      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.
