Anyone else moody post op? I am a week post op as of yesterday and feel like a raging bitch sometimes. I worry that my husband will end up leaving me...

No. I feel very lucky and happy. The best is yet to come!

I think it's the missing days of Zoloft lol

Yes! As you release fat quickly you're also releasing the hormones and toxins stored there. It gets better! Hang in there!

I think I will print this out and give it to my husband, lol.

I am right there with ya! Holy Toledo Batman! Part of my reason for being so snappy is my 3 girls all got head lice. I discovered it on Saturday. So, there is massive amounts of laundry, cleaning, bagging stuff up, rewashing stuff every day, re vacuuming everyday and going through their hair twice a day. I WAS completely caught up with everything before my surgery and my hubby and kids did a great job while I was in the first part of recovery. But, now you can't even tell with everything that has had to be ripped apart to get rid of lice. Ugh! On the 2nd, I am supposed to help with an estate sale. Then to top it off, last night my throat started to hurt. This morning I am a bit stuffy and my throat is still a bit sore. I am supposed to go to my uncle's funeral on the 7th on the coast, which is also my birthday and then go back again on the 9th for all day appointments with my bariatric doctor. Oh dear God grant me patience, because it is not my virtue right now!!!! Yesterday, I had to take a Xanax because I just needed to calm myself down. I couldn't even stand myself. My hubby has been so good and understanding though. I just hope I don't drive him up the wall. Lol!

Holy smokes! This will pass.

I am 4 months out and asked the doctor for something to help stabilize my mood, b/c I know it isn't fair to my family how up and down my mood is. This is when I started my relationship with Prozac...I love it.

I am still Pre-Surgery and I asked my Doctor for something to take the edge off...since I quit smoking and trying to get everything in order for surgery...plus working...I am over stressed. She prescribed Wellbutrin and said it would be ok to take with upcoming surgery and after.

Has anyone ever taken this stuff? Does it work for the Anxiety and frustration that comes along with Stress?

I take Wellbutrin for depression and ADD. It helps concentration and helps me feel less groggy. It's one of the few antidepressants that don't mess with your sex drive, doesn't cause weight gain, and actually decreases hunger. It does help mild anxiety, but can make it worse at higher doses. I've mostly relied on this med to relieve seasonal depression and don't rely on it so much spring--fall.
