Liquid diet - depression

[JRFuerst 8]

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!

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.

You're hangry. It's ok. All of us on pre-op are. How much longer do you have? Six days here...

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.
