Liquid diet - depression



Recommended Posts

I started my liquid diet Monday, April 29. The first three days were the hardest for me hunger wise. On the third day I snapped at some co-workers and felt bad about it because I'm not that type of person. The next day I was emotionally fine and my hunger went away, and for the most part I've had no problems at all. Lately though, the last four days, I feel like I'm an emotional roller coaster - one minute I am fine, and something, one tiny thing will set me off and I am in a foul mood and depressed.

Now, I am comfortable saying this because I don't know any of you, but I have been on Effexor since August of 2011, and it has worked great. Not sure if I'm starting to get used to the dosage, or the lack of carbs and sugar is having an effect on my mood, or the fact that I've lost 18 pounds in 11 days since starting the liquid diet and I've lost so much in such a short time. Maybe it's a combination of all 3 and everything is just effing with my mind right now. I'm tired of the bi-polar crap I've been going through these last few days. It needs to stop! :D

I'm on Zoloft and I wondered the same thing. I was sooo irritable. I was also getting headaches, like the ones I when I forget to take my Zoloft. It made question if I was getting anything from my pills. I started crushing them and the headaches went away. The irritability is about halfway gone.

Oh!! If you're preop I suppose you can ignore the advice about crushing your meds. But maybe add it I the list I questions for your doc. I wish I had.

      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. 🤞
