Hello all. I was just prescribed abilify for obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety. Anyone out there taking it? Any weight gain, or more control of eating?

Thank you all so much!! I will definitely try out Dr. Beck, etc. Thanks! -
It's safe to say that I am addicted to food. My doctor put me on liquids for 10 days because my espohagus is dilated. I'm realizing that when I can't eat I'm depressed. Obviously I'm having a depression problem if food is something that brings me that much happiness. I have hobbies and other things to keep me busy (twin boys) but it makes my days so boring when I can't eat. I am an addict! :laugh:

My doctor put me on a 10 day liquid fast because I have a dilated esophagus (because I'm a food addict) and I'm realizing that food is my life. I have a ton of hobbies that I love to do, but food is what I look forward to. How in the hell do I get out of this cycle?

Did I stretch my band?!

You should have your doctor do a barium swallow. You probably just need a fill, but I have a dilated esophagus so I know the since of panic you feel. I was overeating and drinking soda. The carbonation in the soda can cause your pouch or esophagus to get bigger. My doctor said that if you feel the need to drink soda to let it sit until the carbonation is gone. Hopefully it's just that you need a fill, but I would definitely have it checked out. -
Starting the holiday detox early, anyone wanna join me?
bubblegum replied to Boo Boo Kitty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Count me in!! I have a dilated esophagus and can't have a fill for another 10 days so I'm on liquid and soup. You want to talk about a wild pig. I ate and grazed like I hadn't eaten in 5 years. Positive thoughts bring positive outcomes!! Let's do it! -

I totally know what you mean. I was out of control over the holidays too, but now I'm back in control. I'm getting ready to go to the gym today. It's my first day back in 3 weeks. I too am planning on going 5-6 days a week. This is our year to take this weight off!

Oh no, I had a choice and I took the high road. It could have gone either way. The high road or the road to depression highway. I was supposed to get my band refilled after 6 long weeks of nothing. I had a dilated esophagus so they took all fluid out of my band so it could heal. I was on my way to Doctors, (3 hours away), and an ice storm hit so I had to turn the car around. And believe me I was tempted to take the risk...........death by ice storm. So now I am waiting till Monday to get the news as to whether my throat is healed or not. Stay posted..................:embaressed_smile:

HELP I'm eating to much
bubblegum replied to cyprecious's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is what started happening to me too. Please stop now while you can! I now have a dilated esophagas and had to have all fluid out of my band for 6 weeks. I had stretched out my esophagas with to much food. Just try and measure out your portions and you'll be back on track.:biggrin:
