I had horrible mood swings omg I though for a sec I was goin crazy! lol. I am 6 weeks out now and they kinda calmed down. I heard from numerous ppl that the the fat cells we are getting rid of hold alot of hormones so as they are released,we are like overloaded with hormones. Hope I explained that right but my point is,I think it's normal lol. Hope you feel better soon! ((HUGS))

You are definetly not alone on this one. For awhile, my friends said they didn't know if I was gonna hug them or punch them, laugh or cry. THEN, at my one month check up, a P.A. told me to stop taking my depression/anxiety medicine immediately, cold turkey. Girl, I was a mess! I finally called 2 weeks later and complained and they said I wasn't supposed to stop taking it, they made a mistake! Anyways, I am good now. I hope you are coping better with the mood swings, if not, see your Dr. Good Luck :)

I am allowed to eat pretty much anything now. I keep it lean Protein first,then veggies. It is very hard for me to get in enough food for it to have any nutritional value tho. So,I am still very dependant on the Protein shakes.

I have been so incredibly grouchy this weekend. I am afraid to be around people lest I lash out!! LOL Not only have I been grouchy, but tired. I fall asleep every time I sit down.

P.S. I might be less grouchy if I hadn't been on a stall for like 12 days! :blink:

      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.
