Mood swings?

It seems I read something about fat storing hormones and releasing them during weight loss.

After I had the great F.A.R.T. today, Dina and I went to the Navy Exchange and did some shopping for our upcoming trip to Buffalo to go to a family reunion. Everything went great and we were talking and joking. But when we got back to the car I just became very angry for no reason and we had a small argument. When Dina finally asked me why I was so angry, I couldn't figure it out and I was back to normal in a few minutes.

Could this be a result of WLS and the quick weight loss?

Yes...You can control your actions, but the feelings are real.  PMS without the period!!  You are releasing a certain amount of estrogen from your fat cells.  Many guys think they are going crazy or falling apart.  If it is real bad see your doctor.  Depression (or the blues) can occur too.  Just keep a heads up on it.  Brian

Yes.  Mood swings are real for us guys.  I have to have space in our relationship. To much emotion can tip my balance.  I find it leveling off at 9 mos out.  However, there is a major economic down turn on and my business is feeling it big time, and that tends to wag this dog.  Its tuff to put on a happy face when you're laying off people and cutting your income by 50%.  WLS or not.
good luck

Oh yeah, it hit me bad about 8 months out. It does pass, but for me it was hell to go through.

Thanks guys. I thought I had heard that before. I just wanted to get your inputs and to let Dina hear it from someone other than me.
