    soothing itching

    I'm 12 days out and just started itching this wknd too!!
  3. I've been having a hard time too. I have been on Paxil for 15yrs which has always kept my anxiety/ depression in check. I had surgery may 21st and a few days later my anxiety came back despite the Paxil. I've had a rough few days and got in to see my pcp yesterday morning. They increased my Paxil and prescribed me Ativan as well. I really hope things get better.

    ONEDERLAND! Finally..

    Congrats hun! That's awesome! I can't wait to get there. I have a little while to go since I'm 8 days po.
  5. I woke up in the recovery area. I was pretty groggy bc of the anesthesia but wasn't really in any pain. Just soreness from the incisions. I was pleasantly surprised with how good I actually felt. The only time I hit the morphine button was at night to help me sleep. My roommate and I have done so well we're being discharged tonight. My best advice to you is to sip,sip,sip and walk,walk,walk! You'll do fine!

    Sleeved yesterday update

    I was sleeved today and am pleasantly surprised with how good I feel. No nausea or vomiting. Just the occasional gas pains which are tolerable. The worst part is having dry mouth! I can't wait to be able to drink water tomorrow morning!!

    Weight gain.. Noooo

    Btw where are you from? I'm in Patriots country in MA.

    Weight gain.. Noooo

    No. My insurance requires a 6mo supervised program. I'm finished May 7 so I will hopefully be approved a few days after and will be set for surgery the end of May. The surgeon won't give a date without insurance approval first. How about you?

    Weight gain.. Noooo

    Right now I'm drinking generic slim fast shakes, mostly to make sure I'm at my starting weight when I see my surgeon for the last time on April 24th. I can look at food and gain weight!!

    Weight gain.. Noooo

    I'm right in your boat Patriotsfan. I had been doing really well but really messed up this wknd. Went to a birthday party and another get together and ate everything I shouldn't. The only thing I stayed away from was alcohol. I'm back to my French vanilla protein shake this morning.

  24. I feel like I am reading my own words! It's comforting to be able to talk to people who can relate. I really dig this site.
