Mood Swings

I'm about 4.5 months out, down an amazing 83lbs, but lately I have been having gnarly mood swings. I'll be fine one moment and the next I am *****zilla (rawr). Anyone else experience this?

Sorry darling…no help just wanted to say kudos & congrats on the weight loss and I am sure its only going to get better!

i had no idea that i was doing this until my friend pointed this out to me... then i went to support group meeting, and asked if anyone went super moody.. they all laughed and said YES... everyone said that its bc your body is changing... it happens...

just take a deep breathe!!!

im out 6 months down 130 lbs so far.. and no where as moody!

woow congrats on the weight loss is amazing!.
yeah i`m *****zilla all the time lol. very bad mood. haha. but excercise helps a lot
lol.

Most def!  And what really bad is sometimes I will get really mad for no reason and then because I got so mad I start crying (which I used to do even before, yeah I'm one of those people) but now it is way more frequent.  Don't worry, you're not crazy and you're not alone!

I am sooooo incredibly relieved to hear confirmation that I'm not losing my mind! Yeah, I definitely need to find a support group. It's a shame that I can't go to the one where I had my surgery, since I don't live there.

hey hun this is TOTALLY normal. the main reason is (other then just dealing with major changes) is that estrogen is stored in our fat cells and as we lose the weight the estrogen is released into our system and well, it runs RAMPID! lol its kinda like being on the rag without the bloody show (EWW lol)
Our surgeon included a section about this in our post op handbook. He told us to warn our loved ones in advance lol
good news is it will level out as our bodies do so.

Oh ya!! I have MAJOR mood swings and it sucks because when im being a SUPER ***** in my head I know im wrong for acting that way but I cant stop it!! I dont know what to do. So good luck and if you find anything that helps please let me know..

OMG YESSSS!! i am a month and a half out and yesss! 

plus i stopped smoking like 2 months ago before surgery, and between the combo of both, i am going crazy!!
esp today at work, i was so like rawrrr and im never a b*tch to my employees!

my patience has gone from so high to none! i hate it!
