I'm feeling very emotional lately. I've heard that people who have gone through the gastric bypass surgery can be an emotional mess. I'm 7 weeks post-op and haven't had any issues emotionally until recent. I'm just wondering if anyone else had experienced mood changes?

Omg! I'm so glad someone else is going through this ( well not really because it's not a good feeling). I'm 3 weeks tomorrow and I am resentful, angry, regretful and emotional and I'm driving myself crazy. Don't know what to do because I can't stand to be around myself.

It's like any other addiction. You have just told your body once and for all that you aren't feeding it into oblivion and as revenge it's fighting back. Being emotional is normal you just need to put something else in its place that is positive. Reading, praying, working out, chatting with others here and hopefully there are support groups in your area too. Don't worry your body is just in freak out mode but we are all in this together and we will get you through it :)

Thanks OnYx! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Like I stated earlier..I've just started noticing it the past couple days. I don't regret or resent the surgery at all- actually I'm thankful for it. I dont even know if I can describe what I'm feeling...it's weird but I know whatever it is it certainly isn't normal for me.

You are not alone. I've been mean and angry for no reason. I thought it was pms but when I looked at the calendar it wasn't. I think it's getting better though.

      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.
