Oh totally. At 3 weeks out I got furious at my husband and threw shoes at him because he got steak tacos and not chicken and I wanted a bite of it(can't eat steak). I was so unbelievably livid, kind of laugh at myself now about it because it's so stupid. You go through a lot emotionally and physically in such a short amount of time, it will get better. If I could go back in time, wish I could of been hidden away under a rock for the first month after surgery. After a while , you mellow out.

Yep. Fat cells are where your body stores hormones, and when you lose weight quickly, the hormones get flushed out of the cells along with the fat. This can lead to all sorts of emotional reactions, from weepiness and depression to mood swings to hair-trigger rages. Plus there's all the stress of surgery, giving up the comfort and stress relief of food, uncertainty about the future, etc. It doesn't happen to everyone but it seems to be pretty common.

I'm guilty of this as well but at week 5 it's getting a little bit better.
