Being cranky



Recommended Posts

Well, lately I have been in one heck of a terrible mood. I am so stressed out right now and was having a problem figuring out why. Well, I figured it out, I used to stuff my face to deal with my stress and now I am not able to do that. Boo hoo, huh? I guess it could be worse. I guess I will have to start exercising to deal with it now.

Is anyone else going through this?

You could be on to something. I found myself getting cranky with kids last night, and I realised that they were not doing anything worse than normal. They're two good boys. I stopped and realised that it was my fault and might be food related (I got my first fill yesterday and ate very little all day). You're right, when I start to feel stressed I should simply go for a walk or do some other exercise.

i've been banded for about 7 weeks now, and i am just now getting past the crankiness. dh is a real jokester and he said this to me (i was joking with him also). i have been really honest about my mood and we were laughing about it, now that i'm in a good mood, and dh said he was beginning to wonder if the stuck a stick up my ass instead of a band around my stomach. haha..so true, that is how i have been acting.

i was soooo hard. i wanted to eat, and i was pissed that i couldn't, and i couldn't cope.

i think this is very normal.

I ordered Winsor Pilates from the internet and can't wait to get them. I have heard wonderful reviews about it.

Paragirl, I'd be careful doing Pilates so soon after surgery, because it's all about using your stomach and stomach muscles. Maybe you should ask your Doc just to be sure. My doctor told me not to do sit-ups for at least 6 months, and it seems to me they are similar.

I'm just concerned for you and want you to be careful not to do any damage to your new stomach. Just one bandster looking out for another. :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
