:tt2: I had my procedure on 3/7/08 and i have been a real bitch since. i've lost some weight of course and feel good and motivated by that, but also feel tense. poor hubby is the one getting the brunt of this. i really cant find a reason, just feel like i am being a royal bitch.

yesterday we had an argument because he moved one of my frogs (i collect frogs, and yes i am a bit anal, but this was a new one and hadnt really been put in a particular place yet). he cleaned off his desk and moved one of my frogs to a already crowded shelf, i saw it and put it back on his desk and then we got into it.

like i said, yes i am a bit anal about where things go, but this wasnt even about that. i just felt it was about control. i just feel like everything pisses me off (hope this language is ok in here) and i feel like arguing. i mean i dont want to, but just feel TENSE!

i did talk with him about some of the posts i have read that sometimes we go thru like depression because we are used to emotional eating and now we cant, and i thought that may be some of it. depression i know, this edginess:angry:, i just dont know, i guess it makes me feel uncomfortable. im one that avoids confrontation.

i dont even know what my question is, really, maybe has anyone else gone/going thru this?

what medical school did you go to genius???

This random stuff reminds me of an episode of "House" I once saw, weird......:thumbup:

Wow... I see y'all need some Troll Spray around here.

I hope the surgery went well.

I wonder if this can also happen to a couple that has been banded one week apart? I also wonder if the male has the same type of issues with hormones and other things as well? This sounds almost like my wife and I with things. Any thoughts?

A lot of changes occur when the body is healing from surgery. People recover at different rates and men AND women both have hormonal responses.

Chris - I know a couple that was banded about 2 months apart. It has put some strain on their (almost 40 year) relationship. It has causes a lot of competition on her behalf, and a lot of hurt feelings on his. She had more insurance struggle (despite using the same carrier) even though she had a much higher weight, and had a longer wait time to surgery than he did. He lost more in his first few weeks than she did in her first few months, despite not having any restriction and eating "whatever he wants". She very much resents this success and interprets it as a sign of her own failure. Is it hormonal? Not in this case, but it is psychological. And, band or not, sometimes couples just need to fight.
