I had a ugly run in with my depression a few weeks ago. I was 182 and by the time my staying in bed and not eating mood was over I was 179. Well I started eating again and well now I'm 185... what just happened?

I think it's been hard to see a 6 pound gain in such a short time...

Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. I think the gym is a great idea. I love to craft too. So I can definitely get into crafting. Thank you again.

I'm a little past 4 months out. My stats are: HW-232 SW-220 CW-186 GW-140 Anyway. I've been doing ok until today. I didn't know who to talk to about this. My Facebook support groups are ok...but I really feel like I'll get better advice here. I have depression and anxiety. I had a therapy session today that left me in a bad place. We usually talk about things that upset me or what my worries are...but we ended the session with me talking about when I was abused...sexually. It was a brief talk and my therapist and I will likely discuss it next session. My issue is...right after I left her office... I sat in my car for 20 minutes then I got super emotional... and I started binge eating... I only have 5ozs of stomach but I binge ate until i was sick... and repeated this all day... what do you all do when your emotions are just all over the place and all you want to do is eat?

Thank you so much. I know she tried to talk about something different towards the end of the session but I think I was already feeling overwhelmed and helpless at that point. But i will definitely talk to her about what happened. I will have to try the Journaling and meditation. Thank you again.

I've been trying out different support groups but find it hard to really get support. It's a lot of crazy judging and I'm just lost. I have a million questions. 1. Does PCOS slow your VSG weight loss? I am 10 weeks and 39 pounds down and each week I struggle to lose. Some weeks I don't other weeks I lose 2 pounds. 2. How much Sodium are we suppose to get each day? Actually how many carbs, fat,sugar, and Fiber? 3. Is there a such thing as too much splenda? 4. Is it too much if I workout everyday? 5. How many calories are good per day? 6. Is it normal to feel like everyday I'm so concerned with my weight now? Sent from my SM-G928P using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. PCOS always worries me. How for are you in the process?

This group is great...others not so much. I think my issue is I bought this diet journal and it requires you to weigh yourself daily (I know crazy right) I just assumed it was keeping me accountable. But apparently it's just driving me crazy. Im 30 years old. My HW-232 , my CW-193, and my goal weight is 130. I get in 64 oz of Fluid. 60-90 grams of protein. My NUT hasn't said anything... she didnt want to give me carb limits etc at the time because it was my one month post op and I wasn't getting 3 meals in yet. Which is crazy because she knew I wouldn't see her again until my 3 month mark. I will try to weigh myself once a week. As for canned and package foods... I'm guilty of eating them often. Thank you so much for your advice.

I think its completely normal. Some people have no issues what so ever. Sent from my SM-G928P using the BariatricPal App

I apparently was dehydrated. Even though I've been drinking like crazy. Also pancreatitis Sent from my SM-G928P using the BariatricPal App

I am 11 days out and everything I ingest makes me burp or pass gas and I get extremely sick. Is this normal? Should I contact the doctor. I have my week post-op and wasn't feeling this bad. I've been having trouble with protein and water. I am suppose to start soft foods in 3 days and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Will this get better? Please help.
