You got this. Just know. The road to perdition is bumpy. Remain committed to yourself and your supports (online and live supports groups, friends and family, etc). Stay n touch.

I'm 9/14...band over bypass. I'm n Chicago.

I'm in week and a half post op and I'm "decompensated" from Wellbutrin and Celexa. I've been medicated for depression for almost 25 years. As a non licensed shrink, I think you're on the right track. There's nothing we can really do. I'm doing the same thing. I get mad, hurt, frustrated, depressed, irritable, over sensitive, and/or snappy at a given moment. I too am aware of these emotions and accommodate them when I can. It also helps to inform friends and family of your situation. My poor son... when I get mad at him or have an attitude for no apparent reason, I go to a room. It's his me worse at night. I'm or sure what came first... being a fat girl and depressed or being depressed and then a fat girl. It makes me wonder if when I get my confidence, sexy, and life back that being fat and depressed highjacked will I still suffer from depression and need meds. Not sure. I guess I'm going on and on to say that you're not alone.

It's kicking my ass too. I still have to cook dinner for my son and I get tremendously depressed and cry afterwards. I just keep telling myself that to get thru it is to go thru it. I went to Whole Foods today and filled a small bowl with juice from collard greens cooked with ham (my southern bred family call greens juice pot liquor), a bowl of baked chicken drippings, and broth from their chicken noodle soup. It helps to change up but this 7 week liquid this is still a BEERYAUCH!

I'm 1 and a half weeks post op. I get stomach cramps from time to time and I don't know y. I can usually position myself to stop them after a while. Some are easier to stop than others. Does anyone else get these? What does it mean and y do they happen?
