Guest guest Posted September 27, 2000 Report Share Posted September 27, 2000 b. I just wanted to make it clear.. that I do have depression... but I had it before surgery.. my depresson was not brought on by the surgery... Just wanted the pre-ops to know that.. I am wicked happy to hear you are doing great... it is awesome to see the shrinking size and removing clothes that are to BIG!!...:) I think that being big most of our lives.. its hard to picture ourselves at a small size... I do believe that it will happen with this surgery... keep up the wicked good work.. and someday, YES ... we are going to be a normal healthy size.. *hugs*Wickedbob akaPAMopen RNY 6/26/00235/182/12553 pounds gone forever!Lahey Clinic Dr. Brams depression thread Hi all, I'm a bit behind on my reading, I don't get to my email on theweekends and you guys were sure busy this weekend! Someone said somethingabout scaring the pre-ops with all the talk about depression, I do not wantto belittle what those suffering from depression are going thru but justwanted to say that not all of us are having problems. I occasionally havethe same doubts that the rest of the group are having, about eating wrongand not getting to goal, or not fitting into "normal people sizes" but I amnot suffering from depression and fortunately for me I'm really enjoying allthat has come from my new smaller and wrinkly body. I love putting asideclothes that have become too big, I love "shopping" at the clothes swapevery month at the support groups, I love when people tell me how good Ilook, (even the nurse at my ob/byn who said I looked "better", made mechuckle!) I've been exercising as much as my schedule will allow and havebeen loving how strong my legs are, they are used to carrying 100+ morepounds and are allowing me to hop and jump now! I love that I can walkwithout pain! I hate that I've lost so much hair, but I found a great newhairdresser, one finally that knows how to cut curly hair to make it lookgood! There are so many things that are better about my life now thatovershadow my worries and I am thankful everyday that I am blessed with a"jubilant" personality. My heart goes out to those of you who suffer fromdepression and wish that I could give you a transfusion of what ever I havethat keeps me up so much of the time. b. 364/248/150 I finally got to move that damned weight on the scalefrom 250 to 200! Yeah! Plateau's suck! 12/27/99 Dr. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
