I just crossed the 2-month post-op mark and while I concede it might just be the honeymoon phase talking, I feel like I'm finally finding some emotional and mental stability. The past few years I've been a mess at times: Moody, socially anxious, angry... but I've (and family) noticed lately that I'm in a better mood with more patience. Just curious if others have experienced similar changes and if you found them to be temporary or permanent?

I'm at 2.5 months post op and feeling the same way. I feel some sort of release as if food had a hold on me. Quite interesting, I am taking it all in and learning as I go!

I'm about 3.5 months post op and I feel the same way. I think it's because I see light at the end of this difficult road. It's been a long time since I felt hope for my future, and now that I'm regaining my health and my life, I can once again see all the wonderful possibilities that await me.

I'm definitely more relaxed, and don;t stress out as much as I did before. I also feel like my depression has lifted a bit. It could be what someone said above me - I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

You guys have just given me so much hope. Whew.

I feel very much the same way. I am more relaxed, happy and feel proud. Like I did very important thing for myself.

Moreover finally I found a consistency in my life. I feel like being in harmony with myself. I have always been a minimalist. Always supported this way of living. Overeating was the only field I failed. Eating too much, junky, not nourishing food made me feel like a hypocrite. And finally I retrieved a composure. And feel really happy about that.
