Is The Sky Falling?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3.5wks post up and I'n pretty sure every anxiety I've ever had has creeped it's way into my path again. I'm missing exboyfriends from years ago and feeling sad about falling down the stairs when I was 3!

All I can do is sit here and let emotions come through...if I try to stop it I just get aggravated and irritable.

I have a therapist I seen bi-wkly so I'm never to far off some outside help but man when it rains, it pours.

I was very emotional after surgery too. I guess it's our hormones. I don't know. It passes eventually. It could be the meds they gave us. I really don't have an answer but I was a wreck too.

I'm 6.5 weeks post and still very emotional, but I'm not naturally an emotional person and its making me very irritable. I talked to Dr and it is all of the hormone changes.

I just want to feel normal and not crying or depressed moods ....its so not like me!

Also when you're losing weight, there are hormones stored within that fat you're losing. Those hormones start moving around and run through your system as it leaves your body.

I know at around 3 weeks I was feeling weepy but, started moving more and walking harder and faster with music in my ears. It sure helped :)

Good to know. I walk 5km every day, if I push myself to do anymore I get way too exhausted but I do look forward to my exercising.

Watch a movie & eat the light popcorn some crystal light or do crossword puzzle. Don't feel sad. We are here for you.

Sorry you're feeling so down. I was miserable right after surgery and cried like a baby for days.

      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.
