I want to hit something...and I'm not like that. Help!



Recommended Posts

I'm five days into my pre-op diet, and I am so angry all the time, I can't stand it. I feel hormonal, but I've been post-hysterectomy for several years. I'm short-tempered. The mood swings are awful. My hubby tells me that it will get better after my surgery because I won't get hungry.

I'm eating plenty of Protein. I don't know that I'm as hungry as I am just weirdly angry--or I want to cry. The only time I like how I feel is when I'm sleeping.< /p>

This just seems wrong. Please tell me it changes!!

Yes and no it changed for me. My temper shortened during the 2-week all liquid pre-op diet. I flubbed the first couple days due to traveling for work, but hit the diet hard the 10 days leading to surgery. No doubt about it, it's flipping HARD! Your frustration, temper, mood swings are all understandable. As I got closer to the surgery date, I became so focused on the surgery itself, that I feel like things mellowed out a bit. My advice: try to focus on why you are doing this, lean on your family, and come around here to vent as much as you need!

Hang in there! This to me was one of the hardest parts of the journey because of the emotional crap that comes with it.

Your husband is right it will get so much better on surgery day, just keep your eye on the prize.

Don't be surprised if you actually get air headed toward the last few days. I remember not being very clear headed and my husband yelled at me for not having my head in the game while doing our checkbook.

I yelled at him and said let me take food away from you for ten friggin days and let's see how your mind works dumb$&?!

We both started cracking up after that. He has since tried the liquid Protein diet and did not make it 12 hours. We laugh about it all the time.

You will feel better soon! Hang in there!

I know I'm fortunate that my hubby has been through it himself.

Today was better. I'm beginning to understand what has happened. I had to gain weight to qualify, as my BMI was under 35, and our insurance only does it, even with co-morbidities, above 35. To do that--after years of working hard just to lose and maintain what I have, I had to eat in ways I hadn't in a long time. Then it was boom! I had my approval and my date so close that it hit me like a ton of bricks. Even though I am careful about sugar, I'd been eating a little more than normal, and I'm probably doing withdrawls.

Not much longer.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
