Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm from Chile, so please excuse any grammatical errors and the use of metric system, I'm two and a half years post op (vsg). Before my surgery I weighted 85 kg and I had congenital dislipidemia, hypothiroidism and insulin resistance. After six months of post op diet and excercise (swiming and gym) I finnally reached my goal of 56 kg. I was so damn proud!
A few months after my surgery I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I had suffered for years from chronic pain without getting a diagnosis.
I started to take pregabalin and duloxetin but after a couple months the drugs stopped working. The pain was unbearable and I stopped working out. Then I was diagnosed with depression, chronic fatigue and endometriosis, osteorthrosis and GERD.
With that came more medication (seroquel, escitalopram, higher doses of pregabalin and tramadol) and treatments that I couldn't afford because working became almost impossible. I started regaining my weight and I was commited to a psychiatric institution two times because of suicide attempts. I'm better now. At least mentally, but I'm currently stuck at 70kg with a 600 calorie diet. And I try to excercise at least 2 times per week (eliptical and ballet fitness). I don't have money to visit a doctor and ask if what I'm doing is safe or OK. if any of you have similar problems please help me out. Specially with a meal plan.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
