      I am feeling very peaceful today. Peace that I love and seek. Contentment. Coffee, warmth and sun. I feel a peace of what God is. It is humbling.

      Hello Iris and welcome to the DS family. I wish you success and peace of mind as you continue to adjust to the 'reconditioned' you. And that those 'demon-like vices' fade away. Or that someone is there to help u through those physical/emotional & psychological pangs of it. All the best. I'm hoping to have GBS L8 2008. Cheers 2 U. BTW Have a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving.

      Welcome to DS. I am glad you are here. Sending a hug to let you know you are loved. I also suffer from depression.

    • Close Depression

      I believe that because I have been morbidly obese all my life, I have not dealt with depression in my life. After I had gastric bypass, I lost 175 lbs. Now I don't have my coping mechanism and the depression is like an obnoxious middle shcool youngster that hits me in the back of my head when I'm not looking.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      It makes me so drowsy in the morning but it helps with my sleeping. Sometimes I take half a pill so I can get up in the morning.
    • Close Gastric Bypass Surgery

      I had gatric bypass three years ago. I lost 175 lbs. Still struggling to keep it off.
