Cranky anyone?

Hi, was just wondering if anyone is cranky? I am so on edge I don't even wanna be with myself! You would think I would be thrilled to lose the weight and I do feel better, but I just can't shake the grumpies. I'm thinking it is because I have lost my frustration outlet (food). Just wondering, Cheryl

Wow - I could have wrote this post, Cheryl. You described everything I am feeling. Hugs to us both.... Laura

My POOR family!! I am such a witch to be around. Everytime one of the kids leave a cup or plate in the living room or a sock somewhere it's like I snap..... I've always been extremely laid back and its like I have had ALOT of caffine!! I hope it stops soon cause yesterday I had a custard donunt and I know that they are eveeeeeeel! It has to stop.... Judy

Cheryl, I'm feeling the same way that you and looks like others are feeling and I just don't know what to do about it. Let's hope that this doesn't last to much longer. Take care, Loni -78 lbs.

Thanks for the posts, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I know that estrogen is stored in fat cells, and I wonder as we lose weight, it must be releasing extra estrogen. Thats all we need!!!! Kinda wondering if the boys are feeling this too, or just the girls. Hope it ends soon. Cheryl

Ok Here Goes Girls; You guys are not in the boat by yourselves. If it has anything to do with estrogen I guess we men suffer from it too. I am so anxious all the time and will bite your head off at the least little thing. I am like you, I though that with the weight loss would come all kind of happiness but instead I have become hard to deal with. I think now I would rather argue than eat when I am hungry . I really feel that I know what pms is like for you ladies and have felt like I must surely have been on my period for the last 3 months. So I guess in answer to your question this part does cross gender lines. Your Loser Friend, Jim 328/250/1?? PS I too hope this is over soon!!!

Not just cranky.... but completely emotionally messed up. I have been depressed and everything else. I have heard it is something to do with the estregin also..... Cant wait for it to stop that is for sure!!!

I'm so glad you posted, yes I'm a cranky person. I dislike others perfume and the way the talk, not to mention my kids, I'm the wicked witch from hell. I'm glad to know this is a side effect of WLS, God please forgive me for my actions. May God Bless us all Razzz

Me too! Me too! Mostly I'm grumpy because I'm so darned tired. I can't wait until my six month checkup and labs to find out if I'm missing some vital nutrient. If they give me something for it, I'll be sure to let you know

You are not alone! I too feel very irritable(sp?) Not always but, sometimes there is complete rage. I wonder if it's my body changing and hormones changing. I also think maybe I am just more confident about myself therefore, I DON'T let people walk all over me like I did before surgery, so sometimes I am grouchy towards people because of their actions, words, etc. I have my 6mo check up June 7th and will be bringing this up to my surgeon. I don't feel it is a major issue, but would just like to get his feedback. Kelly
