Find someone else my friend! There are many doctors you can go to! Don't give up please!

Haven't seen that one. Gonna have to check it out!

I found this little article about depression after gastric bypass. dy Image - Emotional Loss - Depression Patients may experience psychological turmoil the first year after surgery. Rapid weight loss may cause body image distortion, in which patients have a hard time adjusting to their new body image and develop anxiety or depression. They may say, “I look at the mirror and I don’t recognize the person I see” or "I feel fat” even though they have lost a great deal of weight. Body image distortion can be very stressful and cause anxiety and depression. About 1% of patients find that they are depressed after surgery, even though they have good weight loss and have not suffered any complications. Some patients develop depression because they can’t use food to satisfy their psychological needs any more. These feelings are generally felt within the first 4 to 8 weeks after surgery. Patients are not always aware how important food was to them. It may have been the only bright part of their day. Surgical weight loss may affect personal relationships for the better or worse. Single patients have found new partners and started families, but some married patients have divorced. Because of these dramatic changes, we think that postoperative psychological support is very important.

I put my Protein powder in my coffee almost every morning. I add a scoop to a mug full of coffee. Start the day off with 30 grams of protein. I do cool it a bit first though. I've heard hot liquids can ruin the protein although when I've researched this, all I could really find were forums. Not sure if a regular cup of coffee is actually hot enough to ruin it or not. The protein I have never clumps either like I've heard.

And too much sugar. Most have 18 grams!

I was so mad at the Penny episode too. There are so many people who would have loved to have been given the gift of wls and she just pissed it away! What a baby and ungrateful woman! I seriously wanted to slap her. What a poor example for her son. I loved how she didn't like the set up of where her bed was cuz she couldn't see the tv. So GET OUT OF THAT BED, WALK TO THE COUCH AND SIT WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT!! Geez.......

Here it is! So yummy! [ATTACH]41104[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]41105[/ATTACH]

Glad u found it! I have a few bags but will get more when I go to Dr next week! My kids decided they love it too now!

Sounds delicious!!! Haven't had this in forever.

You NEED to stand up for yourself and MAKE someone listen. You know your body and if you say there is something not right, it's not right!! Be strong girl and don't take no for an answer. Get some help! Hugs!

Yup these too!!

I wonder why it is so many of us suffer with depression. I am on meds too but was before the wls surgery. I am on effexor 75 mg 2 times a day. I sometimes think I need something else too. One would think that this wonderful body changes we have would make us so happy and outgoing and take care of all our problems. There has got to be more chemically that happens that we aren't aware of. I'm gonna research some of this. Meanwhile hang in there my friend. Us April peeps need you!! Love and Hugs! ♥

OMG KRYSTAL!!! GET AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!! Thinking of you!

You really need to find a second opinion!!! There is only so much you should be expected to handle! If you have pain, you should be given somethimg! It is ridiculous to me that you are having to go through this!! GET A SECOND OPINION NOW MY FRIEND!!

Cherry chocolate yogurt?? I am SOOOOO going to target!!! Yummmmmmy! Thanks.

Awe man! Hope they get it taken care of soon! Does that mean more surgery? Thinking of you!♥

Gonna hit up Goodwill tomorrow again. Wore my size 14 jeans on friday and they were a little big and saggy in the butt! Time to try some 12's! Down from 26 's the day of surgery! Woohoo! !

It's very common for things to be too sweet post op. I wasn't even able to drink crystal light right away. My taste buds have gotten better and I can now handle crystal light and most protein shakes so it may get better for you too! I drank unjury chicken soup when that happened to me, even though I wasn't too fond of it.

Dannon light and fit Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, low carb high protein granola, sf popsicles, crystal light, canned soup and salad are a few of mine.

I just realized that today I am 100 down from surgery day on 4-22. I was 303 that day. My high was 340 so I lost 37 before surgery. I thought I'd lose more by 9 months post op too but I can't exercise much due to my back so I think that's why. Either way, I'm ok with where I'm at. More would be nice obviously but my happiness doesn't depend on it! Good luck on the way to your goal!! Keep me posted.

Awesome job!! I'm 5'81/2". We are right at the same. I think 175 is about where I would be comfortable too. When was your surgery?

I got my optimum nutrition chocolate coconut powder today that I ordered from amazon. It is SO GOOD!!! Definitely my favorite brand of protein powder for sure. None I've tried have ANY protein taste! Yay!

They don't have the 10 gr.of protein one on amazon! I've already checked so I wouldn't have to drive 45 minutes for it!! . If you can't find it let me know. Going that way on the 13th and would be happy to pick u up some and send it!! Let me know.

Thanks! How are you feeling lately? Any news?

Thanks!
