Topic: -115 pounds
I went for my 9 month checkup with the surgeon yesterday even though it's actually been 10 months. I was 342 on day of surgery and was 227 yesterday. Feel wonderful. Can't remember the last time I was capable of walking brisk without stopping and catching my breath.
Topic: RE: Going through stress and not knowing how to deal
Oh hunnie, I'm so sorry about what's happening. I wish I could give you some good advice but I just don't know what to tell you. Be strong and try to keep yourself occupied with something else, hopefully this will pass. Just remember how far you've come with the weightloss. If you ever feel like just venting or whatever feel free to email me or message me.

Topic: Going through stress and not knowing how to deal
I am sharing this with all of you because 1 you dont know me except on here
and 2 i need help.
My brother and I found out my mom was cheating on my dad. we confronted her with our dad she said she would stop and my brother cought her again yesterday. My dad is hurt buut my mom is playing my dad and my dad continually goes back to her and my brother and i are at a loss. we love our mom but right now not so much. all i want to do it eat...yesterday when my dad ws crying and we could not find him i ate so much i threw up 5 times....i dont know what to do when stres****s...this is the most alone i have felt did i mention my son and i live with my dad and my mom? this makes things way worse. i am mentally and physically exhaused and all i think about is eating .....i want the hurt to go away. my mother has disapointed me more than you can ever imagine. it sux cause all i want to do is eat and i cant trust me i tried and then i spend hours either throwing up or in pain. i know most of you will say go to counsiling but talking to someone is not gonna make my dissapointment and sadness and feeling of losing my family go away. im 34 and i see my dad as a fool....and this is the man i respect love and admire. my mother is playing my dad and i hate her for that........i just dont know what to do. i have this fabulous house but i cant afford it so i am selling it but how can i live there in that house with my mom? im mad, sad, lonely and tired. how can i be strong for my son when i cant even keep it together for myself?

Topic: RE: Tired?
Hi Cathy, so sorry you aren't feeling too good. I remember feeling really tired early on, I took naps everyday. Now I don't even take naps and I can be up from 6:30am to 10:30pm. I really don't know what it could be if your lab work was all fine. Do you take b-1? I think it's suppose to spark energy & according to my surgeon's nurse practioner Thiamin is the most important vitamin.
I hope you find out what it is and feel better soon.

Topic: Tired?
Hey everyone,
Am I just weird or is anyone else having problems being tired. First off I just had all my blood work done and it is all great. But every afternoon, I feel like laying down and taking a nap. I feel rundown and blah.
I have alot going on and I'm panicked about having my knee replaced in March. I already had one done a few years ago, and it went badly. Plus I can not tolerate pain meds since the bypass, so I am freaking out over how we will control the pain. I'm not sure if this and every thing else is what is wearing me down, but I could really use some input!
