When i first went into have surgery and the few weeks after i had read about allot of people goin through depression . at that time i didnt see how or why they would go through that butthats all changed. i myself think im on the verge of it.ive been nauseated for 2 weeks straight nothing calms it down no food or drinks and to make matters worse i havent ate hardly anything because of it . im just misserable and very unhappy . i see my doctor thursday but im barely hangin on here . ive always been a very strong emotional person but this stuff is just breakin me quick . i just feel ran down and like i dont even wanna move around for any reason. any advice ?

Thank you....was very shocked myself....I neglected to mention that Aunt Flo came to visit Friday....so that also probably played a part.... Hang in there....your WOW day is coming soon! Christy

This is kinda lengthy ....so please bear with me. I am 7 weeks out from surgery and from 9/29 thru 10/13 I did not lose a pound! I mean not even an 1/8 of a lb. Of course the fat-brat in my head that sabotages every diet attempt I have ever made became very bold and convincing. Despite all of the posts I read that said it was perfectly normal around this time for my body to shut down the losing and re-adjust my little brat is VERY persuasive and had me believing this was yet another failure at being healthy and normal sized. Fortunately, unlike other WL attempts I could not just abort the mission - I had to stay the course because my body physically couldn't succumb to the peer pressure but I did suffer some negative fall-out..i.e. - my workouts became sporadic (what's the point right?)...my vitamins got skipped several times (not sure on the psychological reason behind that one)...my overall attitude was just poor. Then...'lo and behold - Saturday morning (as is my tri-daily routine) I got back on the scale - I am a masochist what can I say....and I had lost 15 lbs! NO JOKE! So...my fat brat has been silenced ...at least for the meantime - my workout this morning and yesterday was great...and I am back in the game. My fat-brat's weapon of choice..the scale... has been thrown in the trash. Now for the WOW moments.....I officially weigh less than my husband.... I purchased some size 18s yesterday - I was feeling pretty good by then and figured in a couple of weeks they would fit...I went ahead and tried them on.... you know the rest!!! We went out to dinner last night - I had about 4 jumbo steamed shrimp - I didn't get sick or that horrible heavy feeling. I was also NOT the fattest girl in the restaurant. I hope that doesn't sound mean-spirited but it is a habit I have always had...I survery the room - and in the past usually I was the biggest there. Not last night. Ok..so I have gone from 26-28 to a TIGHT 18....and I have gone from 310 to 245 in 7 weeks..... I am sure glad my fat-brat didn't have the surgery - cause she has a LOT of crow to eat! Thanks for being there you guys.... Christy

I was wondering if you are going to Kylees baby shower tomarrow.

Had RNY surgery on 8-8-06. I lost 12lbs b4 surgery, and have lost 25lbs since surgery,37lbs total. The scale moves for me about every 4th or 5th day. I have been getting in around 400-500 cals per day. Does anyone have trouble with solids, if I eat anything solid, instead of like applesauce consistancy, I get sick, last night i tried chicken soup and the little bits of chicken in there made me clog. (threw up) so now I have to be very careful...
