9 days post op and moody

I am 9 days post op. Everything went smoothly but mood swings. I am so moody. It feels like pregnancy mood swings. One minute I'm happy the next minute I am in tears. I am on antidepressants to help but they aren't helping. Is this normal and will go away?

    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. It is important to meet your daily Fluid requirements, because it take fluids to flush these hormones from your system.
