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:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
