Did You Hormone Dump?
I don't know, but it is late enough in the day for me to be ****tailing and I soon will be doing just that. And giggling about "HAPPY" diets.

OMG you are mentally ill! I've never been on a diet that made me happy. They all made me ******g miserable and wanting to go on anti-depressant. God, you spew more ******g god awful **** than I've ever seen.
STFU already and get YOURSELF in therapy if you think diets make people happy.

I did not experience any hormone dump and if anything felt somewhat better as my weight came off.
I have been clinically depressed for decades, have experienced the "poop out" Ms Batt speaks of, and was on a new-ish SSRI before WLS.
and just to make it more confusing I have been in peri-menopause for maybe 7 years now. gah!
my point is I have a lot of ups & downs - and post WLS was pretty damn smooth.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

My doctor told me that the hormone dump was nonsense. And I told him through sobs and attempts to poke out his eyes it was NOT nonsense it was REAL.
Between losing weight quickly, dumping hormones, trying to adjust my antidepressant from a time release capsule to a thrice daily taken tab, new hormone patches, hair falling out, face breaking out, sense of smell and taste bizarrely blown out of proportion, I was a mess for 6 months.
Do I still take anti depressants almost 5 years later, yes. Do I still use a hormone patch, yes. Hair grew back, face cleared up, sense of smell and taste returned to normal and I am now just normally insane. Being overweight was not the cause of my clinical depression. It is genetic, so fat or slim I'm still this side of crazy.

MY hormonal change was in part to my mother dying the year before my WLS and my WLS. I'm always cheerful outgoing and just overall the LIFE of the party. But I became more introspective, LOVE my sofa and was just loving being ME...in my case going out meant eating out and drinking which just wasn't what I needed to do at the time anyway, so I'm not sure if I dumped or NOT.
In all my research I was ready to face just about anything so if/when I became to much UNLIKE myself I had my research to fall back on. I'm very analitical so knowing it was coming and going through it was a breeze compared to some.

I recommend the person who is already depress at least start seeing a therapist. I saw therapist before surgery and after and it helped me get through the hump without meds. I will also say having surgery will not get rid of the depression. I believe it helps over time but the first 3 months can be rough.

Ok, my experience>>>> YES!!!!!!
I had MAJOR "hormone dumping" for the first 5 months because of the quick weight loss.. I was extremely emotional, and a RAGING ***** even more than I normally am which is saying alot. I didn't feel depressed per se, but like I had the worst PMS possible everyday, all day long. Manic, sad, crying, angry, want to strangle someone, pissy, happy, anxious, changed moment to moment and did not matter the situation. Felt like I had zero control. Just horrible!
FYI- I am early 30s, history of minor pcos, apple-shaped, history of major depression(but not active for the last 5 years, more like chronic dysthymia) and not on meds(since none of them EVER helped).
And NO!!! Surgery will not cure her depression. It may help slightly with self image and mobility, but if she can't get herself out of bed because of it, she should not get surgery at this time, imho. If I had had my surgery during a time of major depression, which for me was as physically "serious" as possible(hopefully that's self explanatory) , there is a huge possibility I would not be typing this reply. She needs to do as much as she can to help herself psychologically and get as healthy/stable as possible.
