Topic: RE: Fighting depression and slipping up

You are not alone!!! I agree with all the above posts. I would also like to add that I personally had depression, and it was worse before surgery and I took medication after surgery also.

I started walking the day of my surgery in the hospital at the nurses advice, and I have continued to exercise almost daily since.

I weight lift, do bodycombat (an aerobic martial arts-kind of like Tae-Bo) and I walk and run. It not only transformed my body but also my mind.

I am no longer on any meds and I feel great. I am not saying that this is the only thing that may help you and of course, meds are so often needed, but even if you choose medication-try uping your exercising too and create those wonderful, natural endorphins....it really worked for me and I never thought I would be an avid exerciser, ever!

I wish you all the best and this was just my 2 cents, you hang in there and feel better soon!

Topic: RE: New to OH, and a bit overwhelmed

Welcome and congratulations on getting sleeved!! You are making the choice to change your life for the better, to be healthier and become the new and fabulous you!!
I am almost fifteen months out and I am below goal weight. I followed my Dr.'s plan and I exercised and I have never felt healthier and had more energy.
I am 47 yrs. old and I am in better shape now than I have been in 20 years!
I had my last baby (a girl), at 44 and I have an 11 yr. old son and I knew I wanted to change my life not only for me, but for my family,,,,,,best decision I have ever made! :)
So best wishes to you and your husband. You are taking this journey together and will be able to encourage one another to be the best you can be!!
Keep us posted!!

Topic: RE: finally made up my mind ...going with sleeve

I honestly and personally believe you have made the best choice!!
I researched for almost a year and I knew with out a doubt the sleeve was the best "surgical" option to weight loss.
I am happy for you and you are going to be thrilled with the new you!!!
Best wishes! :)
