IDK if this is what others experience, but since surgery I have had the shortest anger fuse ever! I used to be very laid back, easy going, not much rattled my cage, but after the surgery - wow, I'm ready to take anyone/everyone's head off with one bite! There was an incident in the grocery store where this guy in line behind me was standing too close and crowding me for no reason. It was all I could do to keep from turning around and telling him to BACK THE F off!! That's how reactionary I've become. At first I thought maybe it was hormones, and maybe it is, but I have zero patience with people these days which makes me almost leery of going out in public. My nice-attude has turned into piss-attude, know what I mean?! Anyone else experience this, or is this just me?:sneaky2: I got a PAST DUE bill in the mail today which of course is a mistake as I never got the original bill. I called the bookkeeper loaded for bear! She didn't answer so I unloaded on her via voice mail. I'm scaring myself!

Don't forget that estrogen is stored in our fat so as we lose weight, it is released into our bloodstream. So it can be like having permanent PMS for a while there.

I tried to find some science to support this theory, but nothing came up on the Net. :001_rolleyes:

Estrogen is fat-soluable. Therefore, it has to be stored in fat. :001_rolleyes: But there isn't a lot of info about this on the web.

For some reason I can't get this article to click over to page 3 so I couldn't read the whole thing. However, there is nothing stated about what happens when you lose the fat and where the estrogen goes. I was hoping to find something on that.

Whew..am I glad I'm not the only one. I just got back from Mexico last night and the airport was INSANE. Customs took like 2 hours to get through and then another 45mins to exit LAX. Crazy!!! I was losing it, and I had just been patting myself on the back for staying so cool, calm and collected all through the surgery. God help us all :-)

How was PV? Was it nice or too hot? Glad you're back and things went well, I'll assume.

PV was terrific! We have spent time there over the years and are comfortable with the area. We have friends who own condos there and have restaurants. The Dr and Staff were so efficient and very likable. Things got done very quickly, unlike a US hospital. There wasn't so much red tape and forms, etc. I had a GREAT surgery, no complications. The Dr. even visited me at my hotel, after my 3 days (2 nites) in the hospital. Very good experience! I even went down to the pool the day after I got out, didn't swim, but layed by the waterfall under an umbrella. All in all...A++++

Good reading.

For some reason I can't get this article to click over to page 3 so I couldn't read the whole thing. However, there is nothing stated about what happens when you lose the fat and where the estrogen goes. I was hoping to find something on that.

I found another article with that in it, but again it was buried...

When you search for "estrogen in fat" or "weight loss and estrogen" you find a TON of articles.... about stuff completely not related to what we're talking about. :thumbup: Mostly it's stuff about how estrogen can make you gain weight or lose it. Blah...

Please don't kick a puppy!

Seriously, I get a short fuse when I am late for a meal. Maybe eat some protein right before you confront the public ...you (and they) will hopefully feel better!

I'm not sleeved yet, so am expecting I might have the same emotional roller coaster afterwards! Then you can tell me what to do!

hey ange

I have reminded myself about your posts on this subject several times this week. I have been postal (terrible to be around a post menopausal woman with a letter opener when she is in a bad mood) all week with things that normally dont set me off but for some reason this week has been particularly bad. It may be partially due to the heat here but I think Mac's theory for this seems to be more accurate and makes total sense to me.

/ I'm OK now. It was just pre-hormonal flashing; glad it's gone.....til next month, I guess.

Do you think it would stand up in a court of law as a defence? I'll get me cleaver ready if so!

Am sure you would be found innocent by a jury of your peers Jane :001_tongue:
