Is it the weather or am I losing steam?

Hi, I'm Melissa and I am here because I need some help.  The WLS high is gone and I have stalled out for SEVERAL weeks.  Is it because the honeymoon is over?  Is it the weather?  Is it my willpower?  I just can't figure it out. 
I am so depressed.  I am starting back on my antidepressants, but honestly I have never felt THIS depressed before.  I also am wondering if the weight loss has effected my hormones and that is why I am having problems.  
I am having regular periods for the first time in my life, along with MAJOR PMS.  Everything just seems to be overwhelming to me and I just can't figure it out.
I am back to logging my foods the last couple of days and realized that it is harder than ever to try to stick to the diet as I once had just a couple of weeks ago.  

Have you been through this?  How did you rebound?

First off take a deep breath, you will get through this stall and I promise it will happen again. No the honey moon isn't over, not sure about the will power part; however, you are doing the right thing by logging your intake to see if you are still following the rules. Another question to ask yourself is are you getting enough protein and are you drinking enough water? The weight loss has affected your hormones because hormones are stored in fat and when you start losing the fat they get released into the body and have to be processed to get you back to normal, this will take some time. I see that you had the lapband and you must remember that weight comes off a lot slower with this type of surgery compared to the RNY. Just enjoy your progress thus far and try to think possitive that it will start coming off again soon. If it doesn't go to your surgeon, you might need a fill. Good luck
