Oh the joys of weight loss hormones. Us woman just get ALL the fun!

So on top of everything, you know, the emotionally massive act of removing our stomach and changing the way we live our lives to almost it's core, we also have to deal with the extra hormones our bodies are flooded with post surgery. I think I read here that woman are like 3xs as fertile after weight loss surgery because of the hormones.

Anyway I think you have to perfectly natural and normal things happening:

The effects of what we've done, which means our means of self-soothing are gone mostly and we can't make ourselves feel better like we used too and

The hormone effect.

So what I did was just ride it out. I cried, I got angry, I felt the emotions as they came and rejoiced when I started feeling happy and normal again. It was hard.

Hang in there, it gets so much better but first we have to go through the rough stuff.

      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.
