Is anyone else experiencing mood swings? I am a total @$$ some days.

Not sure if it's just me or what? I am fine one second and then want to break things the next. Am I alone on these mood swings?

There are tons of threads about this...

Fat stores hormones. As you lose weight, all those hormones are flushed back into your system. SO you will feel crazy, weepy, angry, happy - sometimes in rapid progression - for months after surgery.

Just remind yourself that it likely is hormones if you are feeling super down or angry and take some time/step back before doing anything crazy. And warn close family members that you might be like this for a while. ;)

Week 3 I was just angry for no reason. Weeks 4-8 I had depression- mild- but I am not usually sad. Since then I have been far more subdued than normal. It is the hormones stored in the fat.

For the record, it happens to the guys, too.

It's very likely worse for women who are pre-menopausal than those who are post-menopausal.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
