Ten Weeks Out, Depressed and Need Encouragement

Phyllis, I do nto have a stricture or anything medically present that is causing this. I have had the tests and they show nothing. Basically I was told this is how I handle the GB. I am told it should subside, however, as to when, I have no answer. Thanks for the suggestion Denise

I'm so sorry you are feeling depressed. When you are, it's so hard to see any positives. I remember how happy you were about your pics last week and rightfully so. Maybe try to focus on that for a few minutes and see if that clears the fog. Hang in there. We are all here for you.

Hey Catherine, I am happy about the weight loss, but depressed about the cir****tances. I will get over it real quick. I just got a bit down this weekend- It was a rough one. I think anyone that has been through this Vomitting issue can empathize with me. It is literally a sistuation where NOTHING stays down. ANd there is no medical reason as to why. You will find that 98.,9% of the time I am postive but I am human and it took its toll on me. I will get over it and move on I am sure. Thanks, Denise

Dear Denise, It will get better! BTW, you look great!!! After about the three month mark, I was able to start eating a better variety of foods. I love all sea food. I am able to eat scallops, though I could not before surgery. Weird? This is probably a big no-no, and I would never post it on the other board, but...I love Smoothie King's Slim and Trim. This one is a choice for a meal replacement. It is blended with fresh banana and our special protein blend. Available in your choice of vanilla, chocolate, orange-vanilla or strawberry flavor. If you ask for no turbinato as I do, it has no sugar. The strawberry is my favorite. I could handle this at about your stage. i would not recommend it everyday, but it may be a welcome change. It does have carbs, but with it< I am still very low in calorie intake for the day. Feel better soon! Hugs, Becky

Thanks Becky, I promised myself not to dwell on this, and I am going to get over it. I just felt like if I said it outloud I would feel better. Thanks for the suggestion. I may try one of those one day. appreciate your concern and compliment! Denise

Denise, I just wanted to let you know that you are still in my thoughts and prayers and I have lifted this up to the Lord specifically in asking that you be "healed" and allowed to have more food choices. I pray that you work through the depression and feel better soon. God bless you and yours, Theresa

Theresa, Thank You so very much! Denise

Hi Amy, Thanks for the offer. I am trying to get over this. I know its gonna get better. I just needed to vent it is extremely Frustrating. Much Denise
