I'm losing weight and going crazy at the same time!

Please tell me you all are going through this too.  My emotions, anger, tears, happiness, are all over the place.  I've read this will continue as long as I'm losing weight.  I hope I hit goal sooner than later, before I'm commited to BMHI (Bangor Mental Health Institute)!! LOL  Thanks for all the kind replys to my post yesterday.  I really WAS sane before this surgery...HONEST!    Have a great day everyone!  I'm off to have my hair colored.  Maybe a little pampering will make me feel better....as long as all my hair doesn't fall out ..yikes!  Again, thank you all for the support!!! 

I am lucky I have not really expeirienced any real changes in the emotion area. Hmmm wonder why some do and others don't .  Could it be because food was not my crutch prior to surgery. Believe me I had other crutches I only ate out of boredom. Not sure maybe cause my vit B12 is still really high. . Hopefully you start feeling better soon Keela. Hugs n honks

Good morning, sounds like your going thru the change, hehe.... it might be a combination of both your weight loss and new meds.  Just make yourself some "Me" time daily and get away, even if its a nice bubble bath or a coffee with a friend, you deserve it.  Oh, and tell DH what your going thru and that you need his support to "JUst let you be"...  haha, but you know us woman, we want to be left alone, then we ***** cause he isn't attentive to us.  Boy, I'm glad i'm not a man sometimes.  And again, You were fine yesterday, you'll be ok... have a great rainny weekend.

I know how you feel.  Those hormones are being released.  I feel like I am on a roller coaster ride with these emotions.  I am especially grouchy right now and don't mean to be.  Have fun and enjoy your hair appointment.

I know how you feel!!  I have a lot of depression lately, just trying to deal with my new self.  I am having a hard time with the grief of losing my friend food and now that I don't have it to hide behind, I just don't feel like my old self.  But off to therapy I go!!

If you're admitted to BMHI, let me know...I'll share a room with you!!!  Today has been horrible!   I shoulda been playing football with the boys so I could tackle someone and let out some of this frustration and moodiness!  YIKES!!  They say we have hormones stored in our fat cells which are released when we lose weight....well!!!!!!!    I sure musta had a bunch of them released the past few days!!!!!!!   If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I was about to start my TOM!!!!!!!!   Oh well...this too shall pass!!!
 BTW.....fried dough made me lose a pound overnight!  HAHAHA!   (NOT recommended for weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!) 

Have a great weekend!!!!!  Ruth

I'll share the room with you and Ruth at BMHI!!!  I feel like I need to be committed on most days.  Even 18 months post-op and I haven't been able to get my emotions under control.  My GP is searching for a psychiatrist to look into changing medication as she doesn't know what else to try...I've tried a fair number of combinations and they aren't working.  So, I'm waiting.
Good luck and we are always here for you!!!

Let's all just get a suite at BMHI - sheese - the first 5 1/2 months I was all over the place and even though I'm in a good spot right now - I'm sure there are more bumps - especially like Kathy is going through - it is all a process and an adjustment.

I'm trying to tell myself it's like puberty and menopause - things I had to go through - like a rite of passage.
