Weight loss + hormone changes =

[TracieR 88]

I was banded about 7 months ago. Down 95lbs. Eating healthy, working out at least 5 days a week. I've been feeling great physically. But in the last few weeks I have been super emotional. Cry at the drop of a hat. Stress levels at work and home haven't changed. I even cried at work the other day, I just can't control it!

I'm wondering if it has to do with the weight loss and hormonal changes? Anyone else experience this? Have any thoughts?

Wow, 95 in 7 mos!

I have found that I get stressed out much easier now than I ever did before my weight loss!

It probably wouldn't hurt to get in to your PCP and OBGYN for a work up. Otherwise, congrats on the weight loss. You ROCK! :bananajump:

I thought about that the other day. I wondered if I would react different because I was not feeding my emotions.

Sandiburn I think you're on to something! As I was losing the bulk of my weight two years ago, I found that I had to deal with some unexpected emotions because I couldn't use food to cope with them anymore. I learned a lot about myself, that's for sure! You may have to find new ways to deal with your emotions as you lose weight. Hormones can change drastically with massive weight loss as well, especially for females and especially if you have PCOS or another reproductive issue. Time to find a new hobby to replace the eating!
