debbie813 20 Posted April 8, 2015 Maybe it's the fact that I'm cutting down both caffeine and sugar but boy do I feel blue. Did anyone go through this? I'm at half-caff coffee & pretty much no sugar. I need to get out of this funk. My surgery date is April 27. After you lose your weight, what do you want to do? I really want to go horseback riding, bodysurfing & take a segway tour. I want to do everything I haven't felt I could do. Everyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted April 8, 2015 Awwww, hang in there! Your new journey is right around the corner! And yes, I'm a total wreck without caffeine! I'm sure the withdrawal has a lot to do with your mood. I'm going to Hawaii for the fist time around the time you're having your surgery, and I'm going to go scuba diving and will be hiking up to a volcano. Things I know I couldn't or wouldn't have done before surgery Hope you start to feel better and good luck with your upcoming surgery! Keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm getting very frustrated about food, bumping episodes, I'm not feeling happy like I thought I would, I'm loosing weight but I don't care, I look at overweight people and think : I should stay like them, they look happy and confident. I dream at night about my surgery day and me saying : stop ! I don't want to do this. Tell me this is only a phase! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rommy 7 Posted April 10, 2015 I'm in the same boat. I'm at the end of my first preop diet week and my emotions are all over the place. I've also had a dull headache that comes and goes. I'm guessing it's the carb withdrawal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
