HiMow

yes! DEPO helped me gain 100lbs in college!! Celexa helped me gain almost 100 more!~! I agree with everyone! we are all so similar! Fat families, Depression, toxic relationships... I also feel something like... I am almost afraid to be attractive to men. Or, certain men. I was a victim of sexual abuse at a VERY young age. I have a really outgoing and confident personality. But, when men hit on me I want to cry. Then, I do things like wear tops to show off my boobs. Is anyone else like this?

cigna denied me at first because my 6 month diet with my PCP was an ARNP, so watch out!

if you are feeling dizzy it is a sign of dehydration. I thought it was lack of food or pain meds too. Drink more or you will end up in the ER, no joke, they threatened to send me.

I remember when I first saw the scale go over 200. I was in 7th grade. I was scared. It was the worst time in my life. I lost my family, I was being abused, I was homeless for a time, I saw my mother beaten. My mom was always obsessed with weight. I have been on a diet since I was born. When I was born, the first words I ever heard were, "Woah! Thunder thighs! It's cute now but it won't be cute later." That is what the doctor said to the nurse. I am hungry.

thankyou

crush your pills and put them in your protein shake!!! don't try to cut them really small and don't try to mix them into applesauce, its gross. The shake is the only thing that covers the awful taste.

Why is it that some people have no problem? My mom had bypass and said at first she couldnt drink soda but slowly she could and now it is no problem. Maybe she stretched out a little??

youre an inspiration! great job!!!

AMAZING!!!! great job!!!!!

honestly, NO WAY! Maybe I was a slow healer, but I was dead to the world.

My first fill apt. is January 20!! I can't wait! :mad: I want to be full so bad!!!

Stacy- What can I do to replace the good feelings that food gave me? It seems like I have to have SOMETHING. How do I get out of that rut?

I will join! My fiance is addicted worse than me. He lives on it. He tried to quit when I did but he is right back to it. I hear the "pop" of the can from my bedroom :smile2: Spicy food tastes soooo good with DP!

I totally agree! Quitting all these things at once! I had to quit Pot, too. AND SEX!

when I am bored, I eat. When I am sad, I eat. when I am happy I eat... When i feel like indulging I eat... when i want comfort I eat. now I can't eat :smile2: I lost my best friend!!! too sore to exercise.. too cranky and out of it to be productive... I need to find something to DO!!

Mine said two months. It is hard to heal for a smoker.

she admits it it because she couldn't eat and just needed something. She has an "addictive personality" she says. I am so aware of it, I know that it will not happen to me.

sorry! thats sounds awful :rolleyes2:

I have always had the number 135 in my head beause when I was a pre teen my doctor told me at 5'6" thats a healthy, good looking weight. It seems to always say so on BMI calculators too. It's funny how we get these certain numbers stuck in their heads!

this reminded me of how awesome "I can't believe it's not butter spray" is! It is zero points on WW and it totally gives you that wet feeling and butter taste. I cook my eggs in it even.

my mother had a gastric bypass. She never drank more than a beer in one sitting. In the past year since she lost the weight she has gone to rehab for alcoholism 4 times. She definitely swapped. I also heard someone talking about becoming sexually addicted and cheating on their spouse but i tried to tune it out because it was so offensive.
