Is anyone else experiencing mood swings? I am a total @$$ some days.

Not sure if it's just me or what? I am fine one second and then want to break things the next. Am I alone on these mood swings?

There are tons of threads about this...

Fat stores hormones. As you lose weight, all those hormones are flushed back into your system. SO you will feel crazy, weepy, angry, happy - sometimes in rapid progression - for months after surgery.

Just remind yourself that it likely is hormones if you are feeling super down or angry and take some time/step back before doing anything crazy. And warn close family members that you might be like this for a while.

Week 3 I was just angry for no reason. Weeks 4-8 I had depression- mild- but I am not usually sad. Since then I have been far more subdued than normal. It is the hormones stored in the fat.

For the record, it happens to the guys, too.

It's very likely worse for women who are pre-menopausal than those who are post-menopausal.
