Today is my 19th day since having this surgery vsg. That I did want... I have lost 24 lbs . Which I am thrilled with... since Fri so 5 days ago. I have not lost 1oz....... have stayed the exact same weight to the oz..... also my hormones must be going crazy. Cause I am sooo snappy at everyone ...every noise is driving me nuts.. smells of things are making me nauseous -- my kids are small and I feel like they have been so whiney and pushing all my buttons.. I have noticed myself screaming so much more ... I really want to bite everyone's heads off that I have come in my life or speak w.......

What is going on.. I know my period is due the end of this wk.. but this is not normal for me.. I'm never this bad...!!!!!!!

Omg.....i just got done from dropping my kids off at school I literally thought I was going to have a melt down in my car.... tears were pouring I felt crazy!!!! Help.....

Are you still on any pain medications, by chance. I had some that made me RAGE. I got off those as quickly as I could. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Good luck.

Not sure I can help with the emotional issues, but please note that stalls are extremely common (very often at three weeks, but also at other times). Your body is still changing even when you don't see the evidence on the scale. Sometimes the body needs time to catch up. Sometimes the stall ends with a sudden loss. As someone pointed out, you didn't gain the weight on a daily basis and you won't lose it that way, either. Just do the program and it will happen.

For what it's worth, I hated the first month after surgery. I was so happy to be back to "real" food, even tiny bits. I still, five months out, eat very small meals, but they are a lot more "normal" than the first month. Hang in there.

Thank u...

I have a few suggestions: deep breathing and/or marijuana.

I have noticed that post surgery I also have had some heightened irritability and no-reason rage. Mostly I have been trying to get more sleep when possible, afternoon naps have been my friend.
