AH! What a week I had of emotions! I found myself being insecure, doubting every decision I made, paranoid that the world is judging me, irritated by dumb things, crying for no apparent reason and SO unfocused. It just hit me this week like a ton of bricks! I know rapid weight loss can flood the body with the hormones stored in your fat. I'm hoping that this means that I've lost a lot of weight this past week! I only weigh on Monday mornings. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks post op.

Anyone dealing with this or has dealt with it? How long did the emotional rollercoaster last for you? Please tell me I will one day get my brain back!

Before I got to the end of your first paragraph, I was reading this and thinking "hormones..." sounds like we're on the same page. I was on a bit of an emotional roller coaster for the first several weeks postop. It did get better, but I couldn't say when. I just know that I'm not like that now, so it had to have improved somewhere along the way lol.

That's good to know. I actually felt quite stable emotionally until this past week. It's like someone turned on a switch. Maybe it is a good sign that my body is dumping some fat!

I felt like that initially too! I'm 11 weeks now, and have been feeling much better for the last 3-4 weeks. Everyone is a little different. Hang in there and know that it's temporary!

I did step on the scale this morning and had lost 5 lbs in the past week! I've decided that hormonal is a good sign of rapid weight loss. I'm glad to hear that it's pretty temporary for people. Maybe I will just avoid people for a while! LOL

Thanks! I'm better this morning now that I stepped on the scale and found I have lost 5 more lbs in the past week AND I'm under 200 lbs for the first time in 10 years! I can live with some temporary insanity for that!

I stepped on the scale this morning and have lost 5 lbs in the last week! So I think it's a good sigh if you are feeling emotional. I think that means you are shedding fat and flooding your system with hormones. I think drinking more water will help me too...flu**** out before it messes with my head!
