O.,

Thanks for the information. I'd love to hold out on the hernia repair at

least until next spring. We'll see what the doctor says. At least I'll talk

to him about some sort of support system (something akin to the buttresses

that hold up Notre Dame!!) for my sagging stomach.

As for the picnic, I'm still undecided. I have to make up my mind pretty

soon. My husband thinks I should go - he usually gets his way!

Before you do that, research Prozac and see if many patients report weight

gain or hunger all the time. That might not be the problem. My mother takes

Prozac and don't seem to have a problem with weight gain, but I'm sure it can

affect each person differently.

Good luck!

Love,

Wellbutrin is one that some doctors are prescribing to aid people in losing

weight now, also. This is what my Pychiatrist told me herself. Check with

your doctor and see if he/she thinks Wellbutrin could be right for you.

My hunger didn't last....who knows what it was that day? Nerves?? ANyhow, I

don't think it is the prozac, but the prozac doesn't seem to be doing the

trick!

When I go to the Dr. for my 6 month checkup next week, I'm going to ask him

about the patch. It's the depression that is the problem~~not the eating. I

did have a day of all out hunger and wanting to munch, but thankfully that

passed and I'm now back to normal (whatever that is! HAHA)

Thanks for caring!

Well, glad to hear the hunger didn't last, but sorry to hear about the

depression continuing. I've been very depressed since Sunday. Have had

crying spells the past few days, but I'm determined to get to feeling like

the Old .... Happy and Carefree! That's one thing people always

comment about me, is that I'm always happy and cheery. Boy, wouldn't I LOVE

to feel that way again!

I can't wait to see you in LESS THAN A MONTH! I'm so looking forward to it.

Are you staying at Hawthorn? I'm sharing a room with from Virginia

Beach, who just happens to be my angel that has allowed this all to happen.

Keep your chin up!

HORMONES!!!!!!!!!! I keep mentioning it because Dr. R. recommends it and I

have been on them for two weeks now and I found a big difference once I

started the patch and I was ALREADY on FOUR antidepressants simultaneously,

but they really didn't help until I included the hormone patch. Please call

Dr. R. and ask his opinion!

Oh, yes, there are pros and cons to most everything, I feel that I will take

the risk in order to have better mental health. also, my mother has

osteoporosis so I want to preclude myself from getting that.
