Hello everyone! I'm new on here. I was sleeved on 6/19/17 and here lately my moods swings are just uncontrollable! I'm happy then crying or mad at the world and for no reason! Can Anyone else relate to this? Am I the only one [emoji17]

It happens to the best of us. I was written up at work for an outburst of anger that came out of nowhere. It does get better. It took about 3 moths post op before I was able to be my old self.

1 month after surgery:

Boss: I don't understand why we can't just make things work on this project.

Me: I don't understand why you can't get what I'm saying through your fuckin' head.

Boss: I don't need to put up with this from you, and he walked away.

Me, Loud enough for all to hear: Bye Felicia!

Spent 2 months in the doghouse for that one.

Work has been challenging for me too. Yesterday I had a complete meltdown that included crying and some slamming office doors.

This may sound crazy but it's nice to know I'm not alone! I thought I was losing my mind there for a few days!

SO glad I am not alone! lol

I'm surprised I'm not unemployed, divorced and childless. I even hated myself at times. [emoji23]

Thanks for this information! My surgery is scheduled August 28th. I work from home, but I probably should warn my husband and daughter. Is this a long term issue? Days, weeks, months?

You are not alone. We were warned in our pre-op class at KCBariactric that we would have mood swings and be on an emotional roller coaster because of the hormones being released from burned fat and also because we can't turn to food to comfort or calm or reward ourselves any more. I had a special talk with the RN because I was having sore breasts, insomnia, and other classic PMS symptoms, even though I am (hopefully, finally) past menopause. The nurse said it is normal and will settle down once I stop losing so fast. Hang in there, it will get better.

Natural progesterone does wonders. You font need,a script and it can be purchased at a vitamin shoppe or online at Amazon. Look it up. It's great for peri menopause and post menopause. It literally saved my life. I have been taking it for 15 yrs.
I only use emerita natural progesterone. You can go to their site for info. Www.emerita.com don't expect your gyno to be onboard. It requires no prescription and they will poo poo it because it naturally benefits your body in so many ways. I swear by it. Go online and do your research. [emoji4]

Oh. Mah. Gawd. I spewed coffee all over the keyboard and almost landed a double fontaine that even an East Germany judge would have given at least a 9.9 for degree of difficulty! Hi-LAR-ious!
