At this point I rather have loose skin then the embarrassment I went to go in a ride a Hershey park with my son this weekend and was told I was too big and made to get off. I was so embarrassed and ashamed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

One thing that helped me is I also suffer from depression my dr put me on Zoloft for it it took away my need to want to eat a lot unfortunately It made me really sick to my stomach so they switched my meds but I know other people who r on Zoloft for depression and have had less of a need to want to eat and lost weight.

That is the way to think don't let nothing or nobody stand in ur way I started my program four months ago I'm hoping to have my surgery in October and I'm 270 lbs and a single mom of three and I wanna be able to do more with them. I have fibromyalgia and the weight just in not helping I wanna be able to do more with my kids. I wanna feel like I have energy. So I'm right with you keep up the positive thinking and wish u all the best!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
