Nervous And Hormonal



Recommended Posts

Ok so I am a basketcase right now...Im 12 days out from my surgery (liquid diet is not helping matters). I am so emotional. Is this a normal feeling? My mood swings are up and down like a swinging pendelum. Please tell me Im not the only one that has had this happen to them.

Yes it's normal. We are so used to eating whatever whenever & now we decided for a change. We have the mind set now the body has to get with the program.

Totally normal... Assure your family that it will only last 3 - 4 months

FYI, women store hormones in fat. You (WE!) Are burning the fat so quickly that those excess hormones are being released. I'm 8 weeks post op.

All normal. Grab a box of tissues and have a good boohoo session! It does wonders!

I'm day 3 of liquid diet and just started crying at the drop of a hat today. I guess it's normal?

When do you have your surgery? Mine is Dec 10th...getting closer and closer

      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.
