Is it normal to be cranky, snappy, meloncholy and have no filter as to what you say, around about week 6.

Please tell me, a usual upbeat happy, glass half full type of person that its normal and will end soon :blush:

Cranky snappy and no filter sounds perfectly normal to me, but don't much like the sound of melancholy. Maybe you are tired? Whatever it is I hope it passes soon xxx

Big changes in life tend to cause reactions like those you mentioned. If shopping makes you happy go for it. These feelings should pass in time. Looks like you are enjoying good weight loss.

That was me too. I was mad at the world for no particular reason, then I'd switch to being depressed. It took a month or so for my emotions to return to normal.

Thank you joatsaint.. Just how I am feeling. I dropped something last night, shouted like it was the end of the world then cried. I am cracking up.

I do take HRT Patches, had to stop 8 weeks before surgery and I am due to start again on Thursday, hubby just mentioned maybe its that.

Does anyone have experience of stoping before then restarting HRT after surgery?

I was very snappy and irritable until about week 8 I think. For me, I think it was the fatigue of healing while living a normal life. Everything started get back to normal after about 2 months.

      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.

      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!!
