Are you moody?

[ackovach]

I feel so moody. From 1 minute the next my mood changes. Did you experience this after banding?

BIG TIME. It's like withdrawal from drugs or alcohol, it's just food. I was all over the map. I'd like to say it has gotten better for me but not really yet. I might have had a week or two that was ok before my first fill but then I could eat all I wanted...then the first fill which I am happy I have restriction but the withdrawal started all over again.

I also am suffering from some hormonal changes that come with age so that does not help my situation. you are not alone!!

During the liquid phase I was terribly moody. Sad, happy, depressed. lonely, angry. oh my god

And I couldn't concentrate on my work because all i had was liquid in the stomach.

I really really wanted food. (and yes i cheated a bit) I was angry at everything. And then the next day I was fine. And then I was weak

And its not just women.. cause I'm a guy.

and im Kinda moody.

looking forward to Wed when I can legally have food again.

I have to agree with the others.... my emotions are all over. Hubby and daughter went away for the weekend and I stayed home. The first day was nice, quiet and I enjoyed the alone time. Well yesterday I was very emotional and boo whoo-ey, nothing seemed to be going right for me. As I was driving I saw a cat on the side of the road that had been hit and killed and he looked just like our cat Bubba [it wasn't him and I knew that] but that was it..... I bawled like a baby and prayed that the cat didn't suffer. I realized then that I was missing my family and couldn't wait for them to come home.

Food is a hard drug to give up because we can't give it up totally, we have to eat to live. I do believe our emotions will "calm down" after we get adjusted to our new lives with the band. We have to give ourselves time, we're re-learning how to deal with food and all the emotions that come with it.

It is a period of change for you, reality sets in and it can be confusing for your head and your body. Now is a good time to read some positive litterature, try doing things that give you pleasure...even a bubble bath. Make this time a time that it's okay to focus on yourself, try to enjoy the wonderful gift you have given yourself..health

I was all over the map but I do better now. Now I am moody for other reasons. LOL

[shrty835]

Not me, I have been happier. Everyone at work says I'm a different person. Much calmer and nicer. Oh my what did they do with the mean me. Oh well they can keep her, whom ever has her.

YES! My husband said my whole attitude has changed - well actually, his phrase was much more colorful

I was moody at first, but now I feel so much better about myself and my moods are great!

I wouldn't say I'm moody, I'm actually feel better each pound I lose - but being banded sure didn't help my impatience :bad:
