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.

Oh. Mah. Gawd. I spewed coffee all over the keyboard and almost landed a double fontaine that even an East Germany judge would have given at least a 9.9 for degree of difficulty! Hi-LAR-ious!

Hello everyone! I'm new on here. I was sleeved on 6/19/17 and here lately my moods swings are just uncontrollable! I'm happy then crying or mad at the world and for no reason! Can Anyone else relate to this? Am I the only one emoji17.png

I am not quite this unhinged, but I will say that when I get my period or around that time, I am raging b***h. When I do get mad or sad or angry.. its worse than it was previous. I think it has a lot of do with hormones... Hopefully they will line back up for you, and you will get back to your normal self. Good luck!

I cried all day yesterday for no apparent reason. Today I'm fine. It's weird, for sure!

Last night my husband and I just talked about this. I feel like all my vices were taken from me i can't eat my feelings, drink or smoke. But I'm trying to use exercise as a vice but it's hard.

When you lose weight all the stuff stored in your fat comes out. It's normal to feel this way for sure. :)

I'm only 7 days out and I feel really depressed I guess because my relationship with food is over. Breakups are never easy. I keep reading that it gets better though and once I start eating real food I'll feel normal again

I have been fortunate not to have mood swings post op. I did become quite irate for no reason during the preop phase. I was on Optifast for 2 weeks. I was hangry for most of the 1st week and felt like I could punch people in the throat if they looked at me the wrong way. The only thing that kept me from doing so was that it is illegal....lol.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
