Oh, I sure do understand since I suffer from depression. My hubby and kids suffered also because of my depression. I've been on meds since 2006 I think. I'm also a binge eater too with the depression. If i were in your situation, I would take care of the depression first. I think it'll put you in a better frame of mind for wls since it's a big commitment on your part and you definitely want your 'A' game.....good luck

don't...I was like that also and hit a stall my second week and it broke recently. you body needs time to adjust to the drastic change. good luck

much much easier than I expected. Had one dose of pain med after surgery then didn't need anymore. I made sure I walked a lot before and right after surgery. I think it really helps with the pain and recovery factor.

try to relax. you'll do fine...just keep positive thoughts in mind...just think how great you'll look and feel after the weight loss. Just take things slowly in the beginning. I was sleeved in Feb and am doing great from the day I got home. Sure I had some adjustments to make like sipping slowly and making sure I got all my fluids in. I did vomit on the second night, but after that I felt great. The next day, I was able to get all Proteins and fluids in. each day was better and better. good luck tomorrow....let me know how it goes. I hope you have smooth surgery and speedy recovery.

yay you!

I think you need to check with your insurance since it varies from company to company. good luck.

I'm glad I didn't have to do that test. Unless they did it when I was knocked out

You're not doing anything wrong unless you're not following your dr/nut's instructions. on average, you're losing over 4 lbs a week! I think that's fantastic!

wow! you're looking great! Hope the interview went well.

How are you doing Amanda? Hope everything went smoothly and you have a speedy recovery.

Laura, I'll keep you in my prayers. not sure what's wrong but I hope everything comes out ok in your testing. I always enjoy reading your posts.

hehehe...maybe because I have depression that I just had to talk to my psych doctor for 5 minutes for her to determine the meds are doing their job and I'm not suicidal . might have become suicidal if I had to answer hundreds of questions

iud? good for 10 years.

I'm sorry youre having so many problems. I hope the doctors figure it out soon. You've loss over 100 lbs! that's great! You're right to focus on health first. The weight will come off. good luck to you. Oh, I'm on my 4th week and the hair is alredy coming out in handfuls and my hair is perfectly straight. I don't want to comb it so it looks like more hair without it falling out completely

newgrandmother, sometimes it helps to change up your routine. like more calories for a day or increase exercise for a day

I'm with laura-ven and I'll join her in kicking your ass You only have a few more days,so try to stick to it. Just think it'll help give you a smoother surgery and you do want that don't you?

try to get all your fluids in and try increasing calories for a day....need to fool your body that there isn't a famine and it's okay to let the fat go. I was on about a two week stall then one day I was down 3 lbs. vsgkirk has good advice....it's hard to not weigh ourselves everyday. I still do it, but I keep in mind that I will have stalls, but I continue to eat right.

So. what is the most carbs you should have in a serving? I will be on solids next week and want to make sure I don't eat too many carbs.

try upping your calories for one day and make sure you get in your water.....good luck by the way, 55 lbs down is great!

oh, I get that...either eat/drink slower...I'm still learning to slow down....not sure why you're feeling it if you have't eaten. I hope you can figure it out.

Have you tried the ground turkey, taco seasoning, and refried beans? I just made it tonight and you can't tell its turkey.

I like it cold and plain. Or make it into something similar to tuna salad

it's called SF chocolate calcium chew and SF caramel calcium chew
