Stress coming out that never did before...

I'm only a couple weeks out so pnly have notice I'm more relaxed and forgiving of others. According to one doctor I came close to dying in his opinion and that factor in as to how I even more laid back about life now than I was before hand. And I was pretty laid back before my date too.

Michael, I am so glad that you came out well and are doing good. I was always pretty laid back too but just lately..... It could have nothing at all to do with my surgery but I was just wondering if anybody could relate. This site is a wonderful sounding board and I am lucky to have you all as friends. Terri

I get angry faster these days...I just blame my hormones levels are probably out of wack or in wack finally since the weight loss. I am going to school now and really working on staying calm after all the crap that has happened in the last 2 years and is continuing to happen. I don't like to be on meds, tried that years ago and didn't work good at all, made me worse. I am just paying attention to my moods and emotions and doing a lot of internal talking to myself. Tracey

Tracey, You know it could be hormones- I did have a hysterectomy last August.... Terri

Terri, I would suggest pursuing all of the above, to ensure you get a good read on the cause. I will say, however, that I am almost 6 months out and have had quite low iron levels. I understand all of the above can result from low iron levels. I'm in the processed of getting the iron levels back up - guess I'll find out then....I would definitely have your bloodwork checked for nutrient issues. Include a test for ferritin. Meanwhile, know that with attention and treatment this too shall pass.
