Thank you all for your time to read through my plight! I pretty much got the responses I expected, so a meet with my doctor is a must hopefully they can get me in for this week. The only problem with anti-depressants is that they start to take effect after 3-4 weeks of commencing the treatment, so it's a catch 22 I guess. Thank you again for your comments, I will try to keep you updated on my progress.

This is the first topic I have started here, but I need some advice just to see how I am going to pursue this matter. I am 3 years VSG post op, and I still have the odd last 10 lbs to lose, but I am hanging in there. In the last 3 months I was diagnosed with depression, and I am now on medication; so after being in a roller coaster of eating constantly the first month of anti-depressants, going to normal eating the second month, now on the third month, the idea of eating anything causes me severe nausea. I force feed myself just so that I do eat something, and I cross my fingers that it stays down. I have regressed back to the first days of soft food diet where I could manage about a quarter of a cup of mashed food, that's all I can manage. I talked to my doctor about this, and he said that we have to keep watching this and in four weeks time we will see if I need to change the treatment. I am afraid that in four weeks I will have dehydrated more than is acceptable (not even Water stays down) and let's not talk about the rest of the issues that will come up. Any ideas? Anyone? I really need to read your thoughts, maybe they will stir me to the right direction. (Sorry for ranting, but this had to come out! Thank you for taking the time to read!)
