Please take care of yourself! I learned this lesson the very hard way and ended up in the hospital for eleven days with mdd with psychosis. I let my depression get that out of control. Nami is a good support group if you can talk to your mom about it. Your in my thoughts.. Please take care!

I started drinking diet ice tea when I get the pop craving.

Have you gone to the doctor? I have had my history of thyroid problems and that can make it very difficult to lose weight. Just a suggestion... I hope you find something soon that helps!!

I feel the same. I've been grabbing protein shakes and yogurt mostly because it is easy and I know it will sit fine in my stomach. I really need to work on a meal plan...

I'm not as far out, but could you substitute a meal or two with protein shakes? When I had a small stall it worked for me....

Thanks ladies. I'm always worried I'm going to do damage! I hate being a 'worrier'

Long shot but I am in my 7th week post op and I am getting vein ablation tomorrow and my vein dr prescribed celebrex 200mg tablets. Per vein dr I just took one and then realized it was a NSAID. Help! Am I doing damage to my stomach? What damage can I do taking a NSAID? Ill talk to vein dr in the am but anyone have any advise now? Ok I'm looking for reassurance... Ugh.

I started this a size 22 however I was mostly a size 14/16 my entire life so I always see myself as a 14/16. The crazy part was after my surgery I took "before" pics and had no idea I was as big as I was. I just want to be healthy but of course a size 12 would be great too. I can't envision myself any smaller even though my goal weight is 140. This has already been an interesting process....

I feel the same. I just started my fifth week and I'm also feeling down. I didn't realize how much I used food for enjoyment out of life. Now I just need to change my focus. I hope you feel better soon. Our hormones are probably adjusting too but don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents if you are having trouble sleeping. I have a rx for ambien which didn't work earlier in the week (couldn't fall asleep). I bought 10mg of liquid melatonin at vitamin shop last night and although I woke up a few times, I was able to make it through the night. Ya!

Add me too please! lannie2202

I'm a month out and just walked a 5k. I'm already amazed at how far I have come. Six weeks ago I would have never had the courage to get out there. Now I do... Ya NSV.

When my weight does that, I usually drop 3+ pounds eventually overnight. Hang in there!

I shop at bjs but they have 2oz packages of wholly guacamole. I use part of that with my eggs and add low fat mozzarella cheese. My fav meal so far.

I do. I am only a month post op so I'm not sure about hair loss... I have to crush them and add yogurt to take them. They are too hard on my stomach if I don't.
