Topic: 88 POUNDS DOWN AND COUNTING.....
HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE CAN THOSE 88 POUNDS MAKE? WELL LET ME TELL YOU..A LOTTTTT. I'M OFFICIALLY OFF MY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION AND THAT'S A REAL VICTORY FOR ME. I'M WATCHING WHAT I EAT AND TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT GAINING WEIGHT BACK BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU DO YOUR PART THE SURGERY WILL DO ITS PART AND WE WILL BE OK, JUST OK. SO TAKE IT EASY AND KEEP ON DREAMING, A BRIGHTER FUTURE IS WAITING FOR US. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Topic: RE: Depression
I think we are going through the same type of thing. I went to a therapist for 4 visits on my 'eating problem' hoping it would help me not get into old habits again. It helped some but I can't afford to go. I am taking 10 mg of Paxil but still am depressed. I just feel wishy washy. I'm thinking about going to Overeaters anonymous. I sure don't think it would hurt. One thing my therapist suggested to me. I guess we will just have to be here for each other till we all work through it. Things will get better. Thinking of you.
Topic: RE: I am curious, anyone with hunger pangs?
I don't get hungry - except in the head. But I do eat 5 times a day. 3- 4 oz meals and 2 snacks. I have read and heard that hunger can take up to a year to come back. Which isn't bad.... the munchies are hard enough to deal with now.
Best of wishes.

tracy,
Your not the only one. My Dr told me this is normal because our hormons are out of wack. Go to your primary Dr to get med's if you feel you cant handle this anymore. I'm hanging in there, dont want to take anything for it. Been feeling like this for the past 2 1/2 weeks. Really sad and dont even know why. Hang in there we can get through this together.

I think all of us January people have been having a really slow month. But it is good to know that its not just me..... or you.
Wishing you the best.

Topic: RE: Exhausted
I would suggest you call your dr. It sounds like you are not getting enough nutrition..... Are you taking a daily vitamin and B12?
Stay awake and enjoy the new life.

Topic: Depression
Is anyone dealing with depression? It feels kind of like postpartum depression. (The one after you have a baby) Everything is stressing me out, I want to cry all the time. I am looking for a theripist, but I was wondering if anyone else was going through this. I hate my body, my loss, or no loss depending on the day, my job and my family. Thanks for listening.

Catherine,
I had surgery on 1/30/04. I have been at 179 for 3 weeks now. I am hoping, just like you, that the loss starts again. I weigh myself once a week, first thing in the morning, (also naked
). I am right along with you. The only thing that helps me is thinking that a slow weight loss will give our bodies and skin time to catch up to itself so we won't be so saggy. At this point I am not drinking anything other than water (I gave up coffee as of yesterday), and I am increasing my food intake. I will let you know in about a week if it is working.
Peace, Love and Zen,
Tracy
