Okay TMI and I am so sorry but I got my first period after surgery today and my hormones are WHACK. I mean, they've been off since I've been losing weight but not like this. I literally cried because I didn't like how chicken salad smelled. I cried because I didn't like the flavor of Mio I bought.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with hormones? I'm worried I'm gonna cry if I drop my pen at work tomorrow LOL!

I've heard of this happening in drastic weight loss due to the excess hormones and drugs we take get stored in fat. So as we burn the fat we are also getting mega doses of hormones and drugs (perscription).

I hope it gets better. I'm pretty surgery working through the program.

You poor baby!!!! I haven’t had any emotion changes but my period has legit been on for 2 weeks on and off. Some days it’s full some days it’s off then some days it’s just spotting. My doctor told me this is common since I have PCOS and I haven’t had a period since 2 months pre op. But It definitely SUCKS. If it’s not off my my next follow up I’m getting medication to stop it

      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.
