Recently, I have had issues with mood. I have had mood swings and doctors have put me on meds to help keep everything balanced. Anyone else have similar problems.

I was moody at times about a month after surgery. I had to adjust because I no longer had food in my life. I do lots of physical things now to replace the constat eating I once did. I exercise a lot now and that helps me mentally and physically !!!

Had my preop yesterday, mood change after surgery came up and the nurse explained it's a hormonal issue. Not to be surprised, since our bodies are wondering about this huge change & want what it used to get. It gets better... Keep exercising!

Lol. I think I threw a pillow at someone and mumbled horrible things under my breath during the first month - so I've been told!!

      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.
