Anyone develop PMDD after WLS/WL?

Over 18 months out. One thing I have noticed since the majority of my weight dropped is really, really bad PMDD. I don't get depressed, I just get really hungry and extremely angry at everything. Like I wake up feeling extremely angry about for about four days right before my period. I talk to my therapist about it, but it seems to be a hormonal issue. I would liken it to being on a high dose of Prednisone.

Wondering if this is happening for anyone else? The people I live with can't stand to be around me for a week out of every month and it breaks my heart. :( I hate being this way but I can't get it to stop.

I have PMDD. When I was shedding fat cells, I asked the GYN for an increase in progesterone in pill form. I already had Mirena but the Estrogens released with weight loss were just too much. The pill didn't help and made some aspects worse.

Lots of difficulty for too long. I kinda put up with it because I've always had PMDD.

Working closely with my GYN, I'm actually in medically induced menopause for 3 months to see how I would feel in menopause. So far so much better!!! If this goes as planned, I will have hysterectomy in the fall. I'm done having children and in my 40s so not too far off from natural menopause.

So, yes, I've been there and you aren't crazy. ????
