I'm back
Hi PK - so glad you are here! As much as you need the support of this forum I believe you have valuable insight to share also. Which in turn may be a boost for you in your trek back to health. And while you have not regained, it seems you have lost some of your health. I know depression - have dealt with it nearly all my life. It robs you of good health easily. Anyway, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
Just wanted to say hi and welcome back. I look forward to sharing these times with you.

RNY April 7, 2008 - from size 24/26 to size 6/8
welcome back
it takes a lot of guts to post all this. I am positive you will get your act together and start feeling healthier again
vitamins and protein first! I'm sure the lack of vitamins is NOT helping your depression
I think the newbies are very fortunate that you are going to hang around again. I hope we can give you just as much support.
so, have you taken your vitamins yet today? :)

It sounds like you are getting back on track. If you know anyone who lives near a Sam's Club they sell B12 sublinguals in bulk - have them mail them to you. Otherwise try mail order.
Way before my RNY I was laid off and had never been a coffee drinker in my life - but - one day I was lured into Starbucks and that began my Frappucino and Latte habit. Coffee gave me the lift I needed each day and so every day I drank a Venti Mocha Frappucino or a Venti Mocha Latte. In six months I had gained over 40 to 50 additional pounds. Ugh! Then I went to making them at home in a low sugar, low fat and low calorie manor. I have only had 2 sips of coffee since my RNY but I totally understand the latte addiction and how they can give a person an uplift.

Hello Kiki :)
Thank you for the tip :)
I always did go over to the usa and buy them myself. Im about an hours drive from Houlton Maine. The past 8 months or so I just haven't had it in me to make the trek.
I gave up coffee years ago when I gave up smoking, 11 years ago this coming January. Latte's are an amazing way to get in extra calories when we need them, and I did. My latte is 90 cals, 9 protein and super good for me. These days I don't need the extra calories and I shouldnt be intaking that much caffiene either. So I am slowly going to cut back on the lattes until I can get off them all together without making me too crazy (more so :P)
You may wish to put them on the no-no list after surgery if you had a hard time getting off them before. I know now I should have :P

Welcome Back PK! I'm just mostly a lurker now, but hoping that you coming back to the boards and being accountable will help you in your struggle. I wish you all the luck! You know what you need to do, you just need someone to kick you in the ass! ...or that understands as we all do! You were such an inspiration to me, and still are for doing what you need to do! Get back on track girl, you can do it!!!!
