Thanks! > > Hi Tammy...we must have had surgery a day apart...I'm 3 weeks tomorrow. I'm also having some depression and am starting back on my Wellbutrin today. I didn't notice it till about the second week but I think its part of my lack of energy. I know I'm still going to be tired but I feel listless...and part of that is most likely the let down after all the work getting to and having surgery. If you don't have any meds for it...talk to your dr...I have heard many talka bout this after surgery. GNC has a liquid protein you could try supplimenting with. I am also having a hard time eating enough to get my protein in so I'm going to try that. It will help until I can eat more. I hope you feel better soon...I know we just have to let these first couple months go and things will start to get normal again....Hang in there ~~* AJ *~~ Post op 7/24/01 self pay - Dr Baltasar -Alcoy Spain 07/24/01 BMI 64 - 415.1 08/06/01 BMI 59 - 390.2 -24.9 lbs!!!!!!!!!!~~~~ Check out the Bellingham Support for WLS WWW.WLSBellingham.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
