So the counselor and dietician warned me about the possibility of my moods being affected by this kind of weight loss and how rapidly its happening. I can't seem to get my thumb on it tho, did anyone else have this issue. I'm trying to decide whether its my normal moody nature or if its being amplified by this process. Thoughts anyone?

Also, I'm beginning to see how my body is changing and as a woman, I want to be healthy but also maintain that feminine shape and figure. I essentially want to keep my exact shape and shrink it to a healthy weight. I still want boobs and supple thighs and all of that sooo to all my ladies out there with hips and thighs and butts, did you find you were still curvy once all of the weight dropped off?

I've been more moody too. I'm 18 days post op. I had to stop my hormone patch for surgery though so part of it could be lack of estrogen. But I heard from others it is normal. The changes not only to our body but to out thought process is going to take a toll for awhile I'm sure.

I like being curvy too! Planning to replace fat curvy with muscle curvy. lol

If I am moody I am not aware of it! If anything I am coming out of my shell in a beautiful way. I feel like a butterfly coming from my cocoon. As for the curves I have no idea what I will look like but I think it will be good with maybe a little sag!

I was moody. There are hormones stored up in the fat cells - so as we get rid of the fat our bodies release hormones. Please also note we tend to be very very fertile during this time!!

As for the shape - I lost my boobs and according to hubby my hips and butt. I was glad to see the boobs go - although they did not have to head south! I am working on getting my thighs back. My advice is get into the gym and start shaping the parts you want to shape.

I am 6 months out and in the last month I became seriously moody. I have had some complications with an ulcer and strictcher resulting in quicker than average weight loss, I've lost about 130 pounds. My advice is make sure you take your Vitamins and keep your sugars levels stablem

Yes you can be moody sometimes and do to how and where you carry your weight will depend on your curves, remember that when you loose weight , you loose it all over just like when you gain, weight I am still curvy but yes I have lost weight in my boop area and butt, I am still loosing and I am almost to my goals when I loose these last 60 pounds but I am loving my body now and look good in my clothes. Good luck.

I was horrifically emotional the first few weeks post op. My doctor examined that as your body sheds excess fat, it releases stored estrogen. This can give you emotions similar to PMS or even post partum mood swings if you've ever been pregnant. I started to level off recently, especially once I started exercising. Endorphins I guess.

I share your concern with losing curves. Unfortunately the areas comprised of the most fat tend to be the first to drop off. This means BOOBS! But not for everybody. When I lose weight though I notice it in my boobs first and my stomach dead last. I feel like I've lost some booty, but I think I can combat that with some serious squat and lunge days at the gym. I'd let it all go. Small price to pay to be healthy and happy.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
