I was wondering if any long-term prozac people (me since 1990) have noticed a decline in the effectiveness of the prozac after gastric bypass (proximal)? I've been slipping into the traditional signs of depression with lack of interest in usual activities and out of the blue weepy sessions over my father's death -- in 1989. I had my surgery 6/1/2004. All has gone well from the beginning. Have any other gastric bypass patients been switched off prozac and to a different anti-depression med after the bypass? ...Eileen

Thanks and good luck at the surgeons office. I hope you get a good report and you can get back ontrack with your exercise routine! by best! mary

Kathy I think you are doing great by the sounds of i****er, Protein, Exercise - it's all the still the same huh? I had RNY on 6/29/04 and I've lost 130 lbs so far. about 3 weeks ago I was slowwinggg down, so I started to up the exercise a bit and it seems to have worked wonderfully...keep plugging!

Hi Everyone....Went to the doctor yesterday and weighed in at 158 down from 288 that is a 130lb weight loss from June 30,2004. She told me I was a sucsess story as far as she was concerned. Then asked me how much more I wanted to lose. Told her I would like to be down to 145 by June. I saw that about 30 years ago. She told me that was doable and to go for it. Just keep doing what I was doing and it would be off by then. So as of today I will cut back on the carbs, up the protein and make very sure I get all the water I need. Wish me luck. Now if I can just get hubbie to stop telling me to eat when I know I am not hungry....Speaking of hubbie. Doctor told us he could also get surgery done. So we are waiting for PCP to get everything together for him. Enough for now. Hope everyone was a nice weekend and keep up all the good work. We can all do it. Karen P.S. one other thing...doctor also told me to start looking for a doctor who will take my insurance for my tummy tuck......Sounds good to me!!!!!

Hello Junebugs!! I though I would stop by and ask you this question since so many of you , like me have made it. Isn't it exciting 100 pounds Gone!!! Who would have imagined it in 8 months. Congrats on all of your progress. Anyway....I've seen the cute lil Century Club Membership card in peoples profile. How do we get one? I supposed I need to send a picture to the administrator/volunteers. Now if I can just work off these last 40 pounds I'll be just fine!!!! Peace & Blessings Sharon 275/175/135
