Mood swings......



Recommended Posts

So I'm afraid it may have hit.....the book my dr gave me said that mood swings happen....I have spent the last 24 hours crying at the drop of a hat and just basically being a "baby". I am not a crier.....I don't cry over ANYTHING. yet, I can't stop!!!! any suggestions? I feel like I'm going crazy!!!!

I know this may not be the most thought provoking and in depth approach to help with such strong emotions, but my go-to thing for feeling hyper emotional/crazy/weepy, is YouTube. Then i search for Jesus Christ in Richmond park, and I laugh every time. Then I search for Jeb Corliss Grinding the Crack and I get inspired. I can go about my business afterwards because 1. Finding pleasure and laughter at the simplest things reminds me that humor and happiness will overrule sorrow and tears . And 2. Anytime I feel inspired and uplifted I can easily dust my pants off and get back up again. Hope you feel better soon!

Walk! Walk! Then walk some more! My philosophy about depression is that by moving, maybe I can out run it.

It will pass. Hang in there.

How far out are you? I ask because i was under the impression mood swings were an early out thing. However this week, at almost 4 months out, i seem to have turned into a raging b***h. Then i cry. Swinging on the mood swing & it is no fun. It was period week, but ive never been like this...

Lol my new nickname is 'Fang'

I've been crying a lot too, one month out. I feel like everyday is a massive PMS day. Someone told me that excess estrogen gets trapped in fat and a rapid loss releases it. I don't know how true that is but it make sense given how Im feeling right now. Can't concentrate for crap, tired and crying for no good reason. Oh, and I could murder piece of chocolate cake right now. :). Hope you feel better soon.

It will pass. I went through it as well at a week after surgery & again at 3 weeks aftwr surgery. It was hell but I started walking & found that helped me a lot to deal with the overwhelming feelings & emotions that were trying to take over my mind & body. Try to stay busy, find somethi g soothing to do. Everyone is different so you just have to find what may work for you all. I find I can kewp it all at bay for the most part as long as I stay busy & use up some of the energy I have. I am now 7 weeks out so it has been 4 weeks since I have had an episode. Keep your head up, keep faith, & keep pushing forward. May god walk beside you all & help you all on your journey to a new, healthier, happuer you!!!!

      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.
