I'm just about 3 months Post op. For the past 3 weeks I've had no energy, fighting daily fatigue and my acne is horrible. I'm irritated for no reason, and everything annoys me. I finally figured out that it is an imbalance hormones that is causing all this chaos.

How do you deal with it?

What can I do to help fight fight this feeling?

I should be feeling great considering the amount I have lost already but my attitude is not matchin up.

I do not take birth control, and I wash my face daily to help with oil. I nap when possible. I am keeping track of daily protein intake as well as water/fluid intake.

Please pray for me, that my hormones get back on track. That God continues to give me strength. I'm a mother of 4 and the past few weeks I'm literally dragging myself to do things which is so unlike me.

This is so me to the T I've even broken out in full blown allergic reaction recently where I was hospitalized they tell me it's hormonal imbalance and with time it'll get back on track my body isn't used to losing so much weight in so little time my mind and hormones will eventually catch up with my body

I have pills from the derm for my skin.

As far as the rest, I don't have any good answers. I had a terrible time with the hormones

My answer? I don't deal with it very well.

Um, hopefully I dont sound too crunchy. But I always find yoga and deep meditation helps me when I'm stressed or irritated. Perhaps these alternative might help to deal with It? As far as birth control I know we can't take it because of out stomach but I know there are patches/shots/and or IUD it might be something to think about discussing with your doctor.I know not everyone is comfortable with that method so no worries! Other then that hold fast!!!! I know sometimes I felt like I almost would get hangry when I was in my first 2 months.

I'm five months out and exhausted and cranky, too. These hormones have been the worst part, I think. I sometimes feel like I'm white-knuckling it in regards to the hormones. I asked to be put back on birth control in hopes of finding some relief, but I'm not noticing any. I need to try yoga. I meditate, but I need to do more.

At least we're all feeling it- we can't all be crazy, right? :-)

I was post menopausal had not had a cycle since August 2014 I got my cycle today I am two weeks post op .

Do some research on what foods help naturally fight hormonal imbalance. I know sweet potatoes are one of the miracle foods if your Dr. will allow them in your diet for a while. 1 small one a day. As far as acne make sure you are drinking the required 60 oz of water a day. good luck, hope it gets better. I went through that too but I'm only 2 weeks post op. As soon as i started my period it calmed down.

I'm so sorry you're going through this! I'm in the same boat and my hair is starting to come out too!!! lol I talked to Dr and he mentioned how we carry estrogen in our fat cells and thus when we lose very quickly, there is an excess amount of estrogen that our bodies haven't adjusted to. I was sleeved on Feb 17, 2017 and have had on going periods and horrible acne! I already on birth control that implanted in my arm, so I was told to continue working out and to stay strong for meantime! I recently bought some expensive makeup to try to cover up all the acne for now!

Just don't let it get you down. Keep praying He gives you strength and energy each day and keep looking for the silver lining in everything!

I walk. Walk walk walk. I put on bouncy music and walk. The endorphins really counteract the hormonal ups and downs for me. However, I'd say I probably have a very minor case of hormone overload. The issue for me is that it's sparked probably the biggest crush of my life and at 42 I'm like a teenager. Good news is I think he reciprocates but it's been a nightmare of feelings. I sometimes just want to slap myself and tell myself to get ahold of my hormones. Doesn't work.

Good luck, I've realized I have gotten out of this really lucky with my hormone issues.

So I have not had a surgery yet, but deal with hormonal imbalance on a daily because I have PCOS. I use a young living oil called progessence plus and it has done wonders for me. I use it on my reflexology points. I also agree with Yoga and meditating are super helpful. I hope this helps!

I had my sleeve on feb 28 and my hair its already falling, for past two weeks i have felt so bad. No energy Always tired sleepy even depressed. I have pcos so my hormones are always out of wack and im pretty sure that has alot to do. Having labs next week to see what's going on. I thought loosing 46lbs would have something to do on the good side. No improvement yet !

I'm just over 2 months post-op and the mom of 5. I hear you on the exhaustion!

For me the biggest help was increasing my intake to the point where I'm getting approx 1000 calories/day. Once I reached that, I started feeling more energetic.

How many calories are you getting in?
