Anyone extra-emotional??



Recommended Posts

Well PRAISE GOD I'm not the only one who is moody.....pms-ing doesn't help either. It seems as though everything is just making me wanna go retreat to my room and lock the door behind me....I probably should have had this done during the school year, but since it's summer vacation, I have a 13, 10, 7 and 4 yr old making all kinds of noise, fighting over kittens, fighting over tv, fighting over EVERYTHING. LORD give me strength. :confused2:

I just want to say that I'm so glad I found this website! It's been awesome!!!! :thumbup:

Hello

I am so glad I just signed on to read your comments about emotions. I was just banded on 6-30 so I am 3 days out and a total wreck. Totally not like me at all. I am the most optomistic upbeat person you would ever want to meet. I have never had children so this post surgery blues is all new to me. Thanks everyone for sharing all of this with me...I was aware of possible depression but I did not expect it this soon after surgery. I am going to be optimistic and hope it passes by the end of the week....

I;m not quite sure how estrogen works but if it is also stored in my fat does that mean I will never be able to lose the weight from my man boobs? cuz everytime i lose a pound i get more estrogen and grow a little more bob right? just wondering.

Hello Avon

Hang in there. You are probably right about the kids being off school and adding extra stress to the situation but you make sure you sit them down and tell them that Mom really needs them to support you during this. Its OK to retreat to your room for a break every now and then. Do things to pamper yourself. Bubble bath, pedicures are geat too... Take care

I seem to be on the up side of things the past couple of days, but only after having a MAJOR meltdown Monday afternoon and almost telling my husband to move out!! Not a good thing. He doesn't understand this roller coaster AT ALL and gets very frustrated sometimes because he never knows who his wife is going to be when he comes home after work. Maybe I should make him come on here and read so he knows I'm not the only one losing m mind!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
