    Anti-anxiety Meds Recommendations?

    I take the generic of Celexa (Citalopram) for my anxiety and it has helped me a lot pre and post DS. It is similar to Lexapro. I had no weight gain with Celexa. I also tried adding in Wellbutrin and that was a nightmare for me, it caused me to have the worst anxiety that I have ever...

    Info about policy at Dr. Inmans???

    I can not answer the question on Dr. Inman and how long you have to quit smoking, but I would ask her office. My guess would be at minimum 30 days if not 3-6 months before surgery, that is what I have heard from other surgeons. I was not a smoker, so I did not have to worry about his. I did...

    Did anyone watch Fat and Back?

    Those comments from her are just horrible, I never heard of her till I saw this show and many she is a piece of work and there is a special place in hell for her. I agree with firing Doctors who are in my opinion just downright stupid and I have done it a few times. I have learned to not take...

    Did anyone watch Fat and Back?

    I was curious if anyone watched the two part special called Fat and Back? It is a news woman named Katie Hopkins from the UK, who is apparently VERY outspoken in her disgust and dislike of Obese people. She believes it is horrible to be obese and has stated she would NEVER hire an obese...

    I got booted....

    Wow that is just crazy. I get everyone needs support, but that just does not sound realistic to always be everything is wonderful. You did not sound ugly to me in what you said, but I take it they may be a bit more sensitive than most. I am always so surprised when people do not understand...

    What do you think about this commercial?

    I agree with @DianaCox , I liked the commercial till the end. I think it had good points of why people eat, but did not like the ending.

    304lbs down so far!!! :)

    You already know I think your Fab and Slow and Steady wins the race, that has always been my motto. Plus life is messy and not perfect, so It is great to embrace our imperfections because they are just apart of who we are and I know you will get where you want to go, just like the rest of us...

    Ungrateful wretches, AKA adult children

    You are doing a really great thing for your children and step children. I can totally understand about the VA. I have worked with a non profit in oregon and now here in Ohio that helps homeless veterans and the VA red tape and waiting times are a pain. In the last several years it is more the...

    who counts calories ?

    SouthernLady it is nice to hear people still have small tummy days even years post op, I was worried that was not normal. I get them and I do the same thing just try to graze all day to get in some food and always have shakes on those days to make sure I get the protein numbers.

    who counts calories ?

    I too use to be stuck on the calories and now do not worry about calories and just make sure I get in at least 120 grams of protein and at least 100 grams of fat and I keep my carbs at 50 or less. Give it some time, your body could just be adjusting and will start again, but it does seem like...

    Anybody know Dr. Margaret Innman?

    Autumn Fire, the first 8 months have been pretty good. At the start right after surgery I had some issues with my tummy not liking the powder protein, so I switched to the ready to drink Premier Protein and some minor nausea with eating, but all is well now. SouthernLady is right about costs...
