hormones

I read on the main board that your body fats hold hormones and when you loose weight your emotions get all messed up, did you know that?  and are you prepared for emotional ups and down,..... also, I also read and I believe it, that some wls people, who have lost so much of their weight and develope anorexia... what do you all think about that one?? maybe this is all the more reason for having each other on here.  Lets keep that open dialog going....

You betcha!  Personally I have not experienced the emotional part of this thank goodness. I have been feeling better everyday. Actually I have had a clearer head when I do happen to get upset. Like when DH just isn't as excited about my wow moments as I am. It is ok I have you all here for my support n praise.lol I am getting closer to finding the real me and that makes me happy. I would be tempted to lose more then I probably should and will be counting you you all to kick me in the butt if need be. I had this to be healthier and if my health starts to suffer. hmmm I will do what ever it takes to remain healthy.. I am happy I have you all for support though believe me.

DH's im telling you, they just don't get us girls now do they???  and especially if we have even more hormones flowing, geee, I think mine is gonna take up a new sport.  as for loosing to be healthy, it is such a fine line between making sure we don't gain the weight and making sure we don't get too small.  that is a whole other learning curve.  Do we continue see our Nut when we reach our goal?

I'd better warn my DH about the hormone thingy now!  If he thinks PMS is bad, watch out!!  hahaha!   Weird thing is: the kids were telling me a few days ago how I've been in a much better mood since I've lost weight!  Maybe that'll be a good thing!  Maybe my hormones will make me just giddy happy!    Wishful thinking!!   I can't wait to find out though!!!!!!!     I know I'll still be around for a long while!  The support on here is just amazing and I know I'll get the kick in da butt that I need, when I need it from you all!!!!  Thanks in advance!!!!

I can see the anorexia part of it.  Because you can eat right after you have thrown up.  In my first 3 months, I was throwing up ever few days, either because I ate way too fast or too much. Mostly too fast. But I can see someone getting out of control and making themselves throw up just to they could eat something else 30 minutes later.

They say once you are a patient of Dr Loggins you are a patient for life. So I imagine if you are having a struggle with something they would want to know and see you for sure.

Interesting about the hormones.  I wonder if that is why all of the sudden I feel like a teenager with acne problems!  I NEVER have acne....maybe once in a blue moon when I get the girl thing.  Well lately I have notices little bumps on my face.  Maybe it isn't even acne, but it seems like it. 

i have heard about the hormone thing too. there are days when i feel like sleeping all day. i think it's depression. i asked my pcp about my meds after surgery and she said not to change a thing. who knows. i know there are days i can easily stay in bed all day. not sure about mood swings or anything. haven't noticed that.

i think some become anorexic because of the fear of getting fat again. i know a woman without surgery that lost a ton of weight. she was so freaked out about regaining she became anorexic. it's very sad. we must look for help if we feel that could be a problem before it gets out of hand.
