Mood Change post op



Recommended Posts

Yes! All. The. Moods!

What you have to know is that it's a hormone super collider! Just know that it DOES get better and you will be happy soon.

Watch comedies.

Get out in fresh air.

Walk as much as safely and humanly possible.

Comedy therapy. Watch. All. The. Comedies.

Did I mention comedies? Laugh. A bunch!

Google Four Square Breathing

Hug someone you love as tight as you can stand for about 1-3 minutes. Do it often.

The hunger will get better with solid foods. Drink lots of Water. Ask your doc about taking a PPI. Sometimes acid makes you mistake it as hunger.

Feel better soon. Concentrate on the weight just falling off of you!!

Hello, I am 8 days post op and as soon as I was discharged from the hospital and got home I've been so sad and crying all the time and that's not like me at all. I'm hungry all the time too, even though I get in my fluids. I hope this is just a phase.
It definitely is only a phase. Your body is going through some major changes and your hormones are out of whack. Just give yourself a bit more time and it will get better!! Good Luck

Thank you so much for the tips ! I love comedies, so I’ll def be doing that ! I haven’t even turned on the tv since I’ve been home that’s how much of a wreck I’ve been but hopefully things are def going to get better.

I had a severe emotional crash in the couple of months after surgery, including crying for no reason and huge regrets about having the surgery. As everyone has said, it was temporary--and my outlook is more positive than ever now that I've lost all the weight and feel healthy!

      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.
