Is It Normally To Be In A Bad Moid On Day 9 Of Pre Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Today I am having a very difficult time. I am so irritated by everything. I am on a mini vaca from Philly to NYC with kids and hubby. The smells of food is making me so angry. Is this normally my husband doesn't understand why I want to go home.

Today is 22 days out for me. I was not myself until I started pureed/soft foods at day 15 and felt like I was actually eating food. Way more options and I didn't feel so miserable and grumpy :)

You are devorcing food. It feels like i am losing a best friend. I have been on the pre-op diet for 6 days now. I hate going anwhere other than work(because i got to) and home. I hate looking at tv, resturants, any thing dealing with food. With that said, it's normal!!

Yuppers quite normal. Unfortunately though this moodiness is not going away anytime soon. You are gonna have to work on controlling it, and I would also advise explaining to your husband & kids why you are this way, so that they understand & know what to expect.

Now so that you understand, I'll break it down the short way.

Estrogen is stored in fat cells,

You are burning fat cells at an abnormally high rate

Burning fat cells release their estrogen stores into the blood stream

So, now you are being bombarded with massive amounts of estrogen.

Can you say moody, and short tempered?....... I new you could.

So now you can break it down to hubby and tell him that the price he's gotta pay to have a sexy thin wife, is to deal with your moodiness till the weight is gone.

After that you can't blame it on the estrogen released from fat anymore. ;)

I promise you after the surgery you feel quite different about food.< /p>

It's there but you just don't want it. The most freeing feeling in the world!!

Before you know it..... :)

Omg, totally did NOT even think about this as a possibility! So glad I read this thread! I am pre-op and trying to mentally prepare.

Interesting thing for me will be when I start the liquid diet before, starting next Fri. Though I am a very laid back person, my mood shows when I am hungry, always has. When everything around me irritates me, I ask myself "am I hungry" and yes is always the answer. A niece of mine thinks its funny. Yeah, ha.

Maybe that is what's happening to you. Your probably starving and smelling all the awesome food in NYC (which is part of the whole atmosphere there) is pissing you off. But I find it does help to some extent when you can identify what's going on. And drink those Protein shakes! Soo sorry your going thru this. Try not to let it get the best of you. Control it best you can and enjoy NYC. Being there could help time pass quickly for you before surgery instead of being home where anxiety could kick in. Enjoy the distraction.

Now, as for what OTR said, well geez, we will have to deal with that as it comes. Good info to be aware of, that's for sure!!

Godspeed!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
