Hormonal

My surgery date was 8/15/16. I am down 52 lbs. Feel much healthier. I am having mood swings like a roller coaster. Is this normal.

Yes. As you lose weight, the chemicals and hormones that were stored in your fat cells are being released into your body. These will pass through your kidneys and are expelled in your urine. But they can generate a flush of hormones during the weight loss phase. They should simmer down once you transition into maintenance phase. It is important to meet your daily Fluid requirements, because it take fluids to flush these hormones from your system properly.

Don't want to discourage you but it can take up to 18 months for hormones to level out. Hang in there.
