Hi Candy Not too minamize your issues but I so wish I had your problem. I have gained 25lbs and never even reached a goal weight. I have fallen off the wagon and cant seem to get back on. I can eat as much as I used to and when I get on the protien train it does absolutely nothing Im so disgusted with myself. It might just be a water issue with u I dont know I dont have any advice cause I cant even help myself. good luck and keep your chin up Jamie 334/ was 194 now a whopping 216

Topic: Appetite Suppressant - Question
Hi Everyone, Has anybody heard of someone taking appetite suppressants after WLS? Does anybody know if they harm the pouch? They are not listed in the meds list. Thanks for the info, Norma

Topic: Work & PCP
Good morning everyone, I went for a walk in the mall and decided to visit everyone at Sears as I worked for Sears for three years. My old boss walked up to me and said. So you ready to come back to Sears? I said YES!! She said REALLY!!?? you want to come back? I said yes as I'm going nuts sitting in the house doing nothing. Not sure when I'll start as I have to go through drug testing again so no coffee for this lady, lol. I'm going to my PCP Monday and seeing what she has to say about my thryoid (sp) problem on Monday. I'm trying to get my life back on track on my own Big hugs to everyone Donna

Topic: Not nuts/Thyroid
My surgeon called and I have low calcium and my thyroid is acting up. After reading up on the Thyroid I was shocked as most of the symptoms I was experiencing. I really started questioning my sanity but I still need to talk with someone about my eating and body issue. These are the symptoms I have been experiencing. No wonder I thought I was going nuts. I would find myself sometimes just crying for know reason. Happy and then sad. Lately I have not been able to sleep well. I don't have the stop cleaning your house problem, lol. You really start questioning your sanity. I told my friend maybe I don't need to go see anyone after all and she said I better go for my eating and body issues. Skin, Hair, Nails: Is your skin: cold, thick, dry with little or no sweating, waxy, flaky, itchy, pale ivory or jaundiced? Do you bruise easily, do wounds heal slowly, are you always feeling cold?Is your scalp dry? Does your hair feel like straw? Is it starting to "frizzle"? Are your nails brittle and thick and always breaking, splitting, layering? The Mind and Emotions: Does your mind feel "foggy?" Does your mental process seem slower than usual making thinking and decision making more difficult? Is your memory poor? Is your speech slurred at times?Do you feel depressed, sad, and cry easily for no reason? Do you feel as if you"re in "overdrive and "out of control"? Are you restless, nervous, impatient, irritable, unable to stop cleaning house etc.? Do you feel "ready to explode", have mood swings, headaches, difficulty sleeping you're so wound up? Donna

Topic: RE: Need a family hug
Donna--- I will keep you in my prayers. You can't do this without help. Please at least do a consult with a therapist. They can really help you take control of things. We work so hard on the outside, we often forget our inner issues. Love your inner self and talk to someone who can help you deal with the many changes in your life. Hugs, Cheri

Topic: RE: Those stubborn last 10 pounds!
I know I'm not fat but I still feel fat and I hide my body when I go out in public. I'm scared of social events as I think people will look at my fat. I don't have a lot of baggy skin but enough on my arms and legs that I notice it but everyone round me tells me I'm fine, stop worrying but in my head I'm not fine. Surgeon called it body image issues. The changes we go through with dealing with WLS. 85 degrees out and I'm in short and short sleeves in the house but if I go out it's long pants and along sleeves. Soemone looks at me I think they are looking at my fat. I have always had these feelings but lately I have been really depressed over it all. I see I have a problem and I'm addressing them Donna

Topic: RE: Is this you?
I'm sorry I don't have that problem. I thought I did until I started keeping track of EVERYTHING I eat in the day time. I'm not getting enough in and my surgeon said if you don't eat and workout your weight will stay the same Donna
