Wow! Watch out world because I am miss moody! I can't seem to help being irritated with everyone or everything. I was sleeved June 6.

Anybody else going through something similar? I feel like it's affecting my relationships, and I would like to get it under control.

Thanks!

Yes ma'am I know what you're going through moods change like the hands on a clock. I'm going to see a counselor becuase if it continues I may not have a job or a family. Btw I was sleeved on August 14th

My NUT told me is due to not getting enough carbs. And honestly I was one of the most easy going mild mannered people prior to surgery. She (NUT) says it temporary and my GP put me on a anti- depressant to try to stabilize my moods. I have since decided to see a counselor becuase I want to be both physically and mentally healthy !

I was excessively moody for about a month post surgery. I feel like all has stabilized now. Actually lately I have been feeling really happy. It's hard to be in a bad mood when you are getting thinner! I hope it settles for you all soon too!

I guess it doesn't help that I am having issues with my marriage, plus I'm trying to start my own business, plus I have 3 kids under 6! Perhaps the reduced calories plus too much on my plate makes for a volatile situation.

I am currently seeing a counselor and I do eat a few carbs (1/2 c of Total for breakfast). I want to try and exercise more - but I'm not sure what I can do beyond that. :)

I find it helps when I vent on my blog about how I feel, even if no one reads it, it feels great to just get it out. Or when I'm feeling cranky if I take a walk and get those endorphins going it makes a big difference. I added just one minute of jogging to my walk today because I wanted to see how it felt/if I felt like in a few weeks I'd be ok to start couch to 5k, and it took me from feeling kinda low to feeling really good - and completely pumped up. I wanted to do more! I still am not cleared for exercise though, so I am just gonna put that on the top of my list of things to do in 2 weeks =)

I thought it was just me. I am moody all of the time. I was sleeved 01/30/2012 and so far I've lost 68 pounds. I was anxious before surgery, but now it's different. It's like PMS but all the time. I snap at everyone, I don't smile like I used to, and no one can do right by me. I wonder how much of this is weight loss, how much is me going through lady problems, and how much of this is my husband not understanding what I am going through. I take anti-anxiety meds and I found they are effective with anxiety, but not this sadness. I tried other meds, but they didn't work. I think my next step is counseling and joining a gym. I know from the past I feel better after exercising and sitting in the sauna.

exercise does help.. it releases endorphins that make you feel happy. :)

      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.
