I had my surgery in Feb,2017 everything is well. I've lost 63 pounds so far. Lately I've been feeling very depress, I just feel alone it's a strange feeling. Anyone else going thru the same thing? [emoji17]

Just curious if you take any Vitamin D? This winter staying indoors Can play havoc with Vit-D.. levels .and can cause depression. I do take supplement for it because my blood work showed I was low.. I could tell a huge difference between night and day..I felt more energetic and my depression seemed to just lift and go away...

As a fellow Californian I don't think I ever needed Vitamin D supplements until I moved to Canada.

tbh I dunno, maybe talk to family doctor or psychiatrist... less weight means do more, get your butt outside!

I notice you said in a prior post you're from EPA. While I'd never want to live there, you're also really close to stuff. Are you a concert person? You're really close to Shoreline Amp (and can check out my ex-employer Google while you're there in MV), tis the season for concerts! That's where I went to most of the Ozzfests I ever attended.

Remember that your hormones go wonky with sudden weight loss like this. That can really mess with your state of mind. Definitely get the Vitamin D, and maybe try out some new hobbies you felt like you couldn't do before. The rush of being able to do something you've always wanted to can be amazing.

Find something fun to do. I went Roller Skating & had a blast last week. If nothing helps make an appointment & talk to a Dr or counselor.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
