So you don't mention where you are in the WLS journey. Pre or post surgery? Have you lost weight? I read on another thread here that hormones are stored in the excess fat of your body and as you lose weight that the hormones are released. That could explain it depending on your situation.

You're being bombarded with hormones. This too shall pass.

yeah, my surgery was sept 2. there were several days where I just sat and cried and I dont even know why. Actually I had a day like that on Monday. I was not feeling well and going through a moment of "why did I do this to myself" but those usually pass after a few hours and talking to someone

you'll be ok, this place is great for support

Me tooooo!!! I thought it was just me bc I could cry and in the next breath want to yell at someone. I had to stop taking my bc pills prior to surgery and not allowed to take them until 30 days out (I'm 3 weeks post op). But if hormones are stored on extra fat then that makes sense. Good luck to everyone around us! ????

      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.
