That can happen after surgery. I think the chemicals in our brain get a little out of balance when we have surgery. Known as post-op depression. Walking sometimes helps. Boosts the happy cells in the brain. If it goes on too long talk to your doctor.

My anxiety has spiked since surgery, never felt depressed, but it's hard bc now I lost food to cope with. Sometimes I still have that emotional eater come out, but it hard to deal with. Your body has gone through sooooo many changes. Keep on keeping on girl. Positive vibes sent your way!

I'm expecting to deal with that. You'll be in mourning for the loss of food as a source of comfort.

Hang in there. I'd highly recommend asking your surgeon to refer you to a counselor specializing in bariatric patients.

      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.
