Rough day, feeling irate and...

[CanyonBaby 1,852]

It's actually been a few rough days, emotionally. Yesterday was my best dog's first year's passing anniversary (lost 2 more dogs within 6 months of that - all were very old). My husband, who has taken a few weeks off to help me through the surgery, is DRIVING ME NUTS (bless his heart, he is hovering!). Does anyone else seem overly moody after this surgery? I'm normally not this bad, and I've heard fat retains hormones, that when the fat is lost the hormones are released into the system-NOT what I need right now! Help!

Yep, I totally get it. When I feel that way I watch the tv show "Snapped". Helps put things in perspective for me. All of my evil thoughts begin to dissipate. =)

Girl, your hormones are flipping the FRICK out. Normal. You are going to be moody, hangry, pissy and overall rough to be around for a few weeks. It's OK. It's worth it in the end.

Thanks, is this the voice of experience?! I'd like it just to be over , you know? I mean the hormones...hey, I've done the menopause thing already, husband definitely doesn't need that trip again! Merry Christmas!

Yup. Been there, done that. It's worth it, I swear.

Hangry is a good way to describe this. I am only 5 days

post op and hating these boring liquid shakes. I am so friggin hungry. But I stepped on my scale and I a down 12 pounds. I keep reminding myself this is the reason I did it. But I cant wait until I can do pureed food.

It gets better. The intense cravings subside. Hang in there.
