I'm not sure if any of you lived in a dark constant depression when you were gaining and at your heaviest. I am about to undergo surgery and i've realized i've been in a depression for 2 years. It is a realization that hit me HARD yesterday. I realized that all of my depressive moments which have been constant for quite some time were not all caused by Mom's illness and that indeed i was in a depression from going off of a medication 2 and 1/2 years ago. I dont really know what to blog about except that i hope the new medication helps me and that i can learn to stand back up and take back my life from the dark place its been all this time. The surgery day is coming soon after a 2 week liquid diet in which i have heard is the toughest part of the lap band procedure. I can do it though, it will all be worth it in the end :)

Laters,

Tina

Fret not, take it one day at a time. Do what you. If you want it bad enough, you will succeed. The pre-op diet isn't a liquid diet. At least mine wasn't. I had to protein shakes a day then a third meal with green veggies and lean meat (fish or tuna mostly). It was hard the first week but when I saw the results (weightloss) I was determined more than ever. I remember all of those depressed days. I have been overweight and depressed most of my adult life. I used to think about my weight all day everyday. Now I don't think about it as often. Choosing this new path will help rid some of the depression and perhaps medication won't be needed as often. Good luck to you.
