At what point in your WLS journey did your hormones go crazy...   and what exactly happened?
What kind of odd body changes did you experience?

Here are a few to get the ball rolling


Personally there are times when I can be overly happy, overly stressed, and overly depressed.
It comes and goes but it's just wild

My stomach talks a LOT... (as do my intestines) 

I am LOVING the whole loose X amount of weight gain X amount of inches

My shoes are all too big

I can sit indian style!!  (Soon as I'm down to 330 the Wii is going to be my Yoga *****!

And here's the embarrassing one... excess natural lubrication... (please don't make me go into detail on this one)

Man, the hormones went into overdrive and I had PMS from HELL! This was 24/7 too. Not just at the regular PMS times.

My tummy gurgles ALL the time.

My shoes only got a little bigger but now I can't wear any of my old ones.

Sex is better.

My depression got worse, my mood swings more severe and my sex drive ran away with pounds.  Good thing my wife loves me as much as she does.

I hiccup when I'm full.

I can wear MOST wide shoes now.  Much better selection than before when I had to look for EE width.  AND I CAN WEAR HEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a hard time wrapping my head around my size now, but many have called me small.  I'm not that small.  Between 148-154 and a size 10 in clothing.

I can work out at the gym and not feel like a blob...my body is getting stronger with each workout and my arms are toning up nicely.  Chris told me yesterday that my arms are better than most women my age that didn't have surgery.  I could kiss her for that!
