Has anyone else experienced a change in values re: work?

I'm 8 months postop and have reached my weight loss goals (148 pounds, 5'8" tall). This is a loss of 111 pounds. I have always been a high-powered executive type, even though I have always worked in humanitarian, non profit organizations. Since my surgery I have become increasingly aware that things are changing for me. I am no longer a driven, obsessed workaholic. I am reevaluating everything. I am thinking about leaving it all behind (I've been president of my organization for 11 years) and starting over... or just taking a break. In a way, this scares me. It's like I dropped my ambition along with the pounds I left behind somewhere! Has anyone else experienced such dramatic changes? Are they temporary or long-lasting? What did you do? Thanks for all responses.
