I have read about people (younger ones) experience mood swings because hormones are going crazy after surgery. Did any of you experience this or are we ok cuz of menopause? Sent from my SM-G730V using the BariatricPal App

@dashofsunshine....I just love that dress!! Congrats on your loss!! Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Starting day 6 of my 2 week liquid diet. Not really hungry...just really emotional and weepy...I assume this is normal. Plus my head keeps playing games telling me you know you want a juicy cheeseburger or pizza one LAST time!! It's horrible!! Try to distract myself and I end up going to bed early and tell myself I will cheat tomorrow just to silence the thoughts in my head!! Mind games start in evening cuz i do fine during the day. It's crazy! 9 more days til surgery. ..I'm going to be a basket case!! Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I can have broth,sf popsicles and sf Jello so I tend to save for evening. I have mobility issues so physically doing things are difficult right now. Been working on my kitchen today tho. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

@ Pink Grandma .....I'm 62 and will have RNY on September 13th 2016! No you aren't too old. I just want my last year's to be better and tired of watching my life pass me by. Plus I have 2 g-sons that I can make better memories with. Should've done this 20 yrs ago!! Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

My PCP is against wls also. I feel bad cuz i really liked him and haven't been back to see him for 3 months. I would've liked his support but can't get it. He never helped me with any weight loss either. I just can't take it anymore so I'm sticking with my wls team at Cleveland Clinic. And after surgery might go back to see him and if I don't feel right I will look for a new PCP who's more wls friendly. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I switched from Wellbutrin time released months ago. I knew I couldn't do time released after surgery so I switched so I had something that would work for me. Sent from my SM-G730V using the BariatricPal App

I know this will be life changing surgery. Did you have complications @ GinaCampbell? I'm excited yet getting nervous as time gets closer...doubts enter my head on whether I'm doing the right thing....I think this is all normal. Do you have any regrets?

Thanks for the replies because was not sure why sooo many seem to be going thru what they were calling hormonal changes. Glad I'm still in therapy to address issues popping up post op when they happen. Just trying to prepare myself ahead of time on what to expect. My RNY isn't until September 13TH so I have been prepping myself w info for almost a year. Sent from my SM-G730V using the BariatricPal App
