female only Hormones--help!!!

[Lila21 36]

So, I've felt mostly pretty OK in the last couple of months since being sleeved, but I had noticed slightly more intense premenstrual symptoms. But, recently, I feel like my hormones are really out of control. I feel very emotional and irritable, and yesterday I snapped at my boss! Seriously, if this keeps up I'll be out of a job! Yipes! Anyone have any suggestions for getting the hormone monsters under control? Any suggestions would be appreciated....

Meditation, and removing myself from the situation was the only thing that has helped for me. Plus, I really have to take the time to breathe. I'm pretty sure my son has wanted to disown me, and my husband has thought of shutting me in the attic a few 100 times over the last year and a half because of my mood swings, but they do get better.

Ha, that's exactly how I think the people around me feel! If this were a different era, we'd be locked in the attic for sure! Thanks for the suggestion on meditation, Tiff! I've been thinking about trying it, and now you've really got me thinking it might help! I'll give it a shot.

If you figure it out, let me know! I go from zero to bitch if someone so much as glances at me funny. Guess in the future it will be easy to spot sleevers... we'll be the ones out of jobs

Oh no! You too? Sorry to hear it! I tell ya, I am starting meditation before I hurt someone! Hoping this passes when my weight stabilizes! Still, that's probably a year away....

For those of you that are still producing estrogen, the female body produces estrogren amounts based on your weight - the more you weigh the more estrogen the body produces. But as you lose weight, the body doesn't adjust the levels on a nice steady decrease. Mine would hold my estrogen level the same, then "notice" I had lost weight and drop my level suddenly to "catch up" to my lower weight. I could have hired myself out as a hit-woman! I never figured out how to compensate except for taking Prozac. Now that I have had a hysterectomy, I can control it through my HRT dosage. Good Luck, ladies.

Oh no, tell me it ain't so! I have such problems with PMS now as it is, I was hoping it would get better after the sleeve! Is it just in the losing phase? Oh crap, how am I going to manage if my mood swings get any worse?
