It happens to the best of us. I was written up at work for an outburst of anger that came out of nowhere. It does get better. It took about 3 moths post op before I was able to be my old self.

1 month after surgery:

Boss: I don't understand why we can't just make things work on this project.

Me: I don't understand why you can't get what I'm saying through your fuckin' head.

Boss: I don't need to put up with this from you, and he walked away.

Me, Loud enough for all to hear: Bye Felicia!

Spent 2 months in the doghouse for that one.

Work has been challenging for me too. Yesterday I had a complete meltdown that included crying and some slamming office doors.

I'm surprised I'm not unemployed, divorced and childless. I even hated myself at times. [emoji23]

Thanks for this information! My surgery is scheduled August 28th. I work from home, but I probably should warn my husband and daughter. Is this a long term issue? Days, weeks, months?

You are not alone. We were warned in our pre-op class at KCBariactric that we would have mood swings and be on an emotional roller coaster because of the hormones being released from burned fat and also because we can't turn to food to comfort or calm or reward ourselves any more. I had a special talk with the RN because I was having sore breasts, insomnia, and other classic PMS symptoms, even though I am (hopefully, finally) past menopause. The nurse said it is normal and will settle down once I stop losing so fast. Hang in there, it will get better.

Natural progesterone does wonders. You font need,a script and it can be purchased at a Vitamin Shoppe or online at Amazon. Look it up. It's great for peri menopause and post menopause. It literally saved my life. I have been taking it for 15 yrs.
I only use emerita natural progesterone. You can go to their site for info. Www.emerita.com don't expect your gyno to be onboard. It requires no prescription and they will poo poo it because it naturally benefits your body in so many ways. I swear by it. Go online and do your research. [emoji4]

      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.
