So I get sleeved on 10/22, but here's the thing. I don't respond well to ketosis. It makes me angry, anxious, and generally makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Now, the doc/nutritionist and I have already worked out what's going to happen pre-surgery (low carb, but not zero-carb diet) but I'm wondering if this happens often post-op?

I stay in ketosis. .that's how I no I'm burning. I use myfitnesspal and log everything. The most I have been able to get down is 715 cal a day. I'm not pushing it. I'm not really exercising per say but I do keep busy around the house. I have a 2 story so I go up n down few times a day. I still have a energy shortage in afternoon so I pace myself. But with me I use Ketones stix an chk every morning that helps me to stay on tract. Then I no I'm losing daily..I've had my days of grouchiness an wanting to cry but only a few. :)I am 7 wks postop. ..down 55..

I have been wondering why I get so angry and moody since surgery! Thanks for posting about this.......makes since!!

There is also the issue of the stored estrogen in fat that as it's losing. .well..it's also hormonal. Forgot to mention that earlier. May want to Google it. .I did awhile ago I can't remember everything it said but I'm goin to refresh my memory. My therapist also told me it's not unusual after surgery some depression days..bc hormone fluctuates. .it'll even out just got to get thru it.
