welcome christineapplebutter, wow sounds like you went through a lot of surgery. depression is something I think most people deal with after surgery, from what I have read. I know I experienced some due to the fact that I could no longer use "food" for comfort, joy or gladness.some doctors prescribe medication if it gets too bad. you've done well on weight loss in such a short time frame. are you limited to certain types of food due to your surgery?? do you have a local support group you can go too? do you have friends whom understand what you've been through? I know I have found much comfort with the people in this room, they'be been there for me since a year ago when I joined this site, best place there is to find answers, receipes and friends too. I love to talk as you can see, need someone to talk to or to listen let me know. I really hope today is going better for you.My sister and mom used to live in Olathe Kansas I liked it there. Talk to you later. Donna
