PIK NIK

I weight 145 lb 10 years ago I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia bipolar 1 with extreme Mania I was given Seroquel 400 mg and right away after 3 months I was 318 lb I got my surgery and May 23rd of 2019 to help fix a large hernia they're going to have to have my weight down to 200 pounds as fast as possible. now they can't drop my medicines because I will be hospitalized immediately for my mental illness. they are trying to figure out all kinds of ideas. they have put me on 200 mg of Topamax to help lose weight and to help with my bipolar and change my medication from Seroquel to Latuda. I begin my change tomorrow . I will let people know how it goes in 2 weeks . I don't know what's going to happen. I'm down to 271 and I'm holding for 6 weeks now and then last week I've gained 5 lb and I'm still at 750 calories. I haven't changed anything in my diet except when they tell me to every three days my dietitian to try to figure out what to do . they are trying to figure out what's going on obviously I I think it has to do with my medications . I haven't eaten over 1,200 calories in 3 years. But again I may be wrong that's why I need your help. I do not eat carbs I do not eat sugars in the last 7 years. I do have pictures of before I was on Seroquel you would not believe the difference. I can post them if you'd like. But this is not a congratulation post this is for people like me or people who might have answers in this field. I don't want to have have people coming into gratulate me or anything like that because, I'm looking for people that are have done this and actually completed and one or I'm looking for those who are doing this and we can work together as a team to figure this out. now they're giving me iron supplements on top of iron supplements and Vitamin D supplements on top of Vitamin D supplements even though I'm outside active and on top of that. Because before I didn't have these deficiencies and now my doctors and I don't know what's going on because before surgery I've never had this and now after surgery I was giving all these supplements and my blood work comes back that I got all the great vitamins and me but it's showing extreme low iron and extreme low vitamin D so now they're giving me more iron to take and more vitamin D and it's still losing iron we're still losing vitamin D . What's the cause? it I'm drinking tons and tons of water 64 Oz a before noon on exercising I'm walking jogging 2 to 3 miles a day on play with the dogs I built the fence last week. I haven't done that in 10 years put a mailbox I'm also doing everything I possibly can to do to counter this problem my way I was always a health nut I always believe calories in calories out I was always extended extreme bodybuilding and weight and extreme sports and I go from being 145 lb to 318 pounds in 3/4 months and I know I'm not going to lose this weight super super fast but but I should at least be losing half a pound of one pound a week and I should be showing large vitamin D all that low iron and low calcium is starting to show up so even my PCP so I can do blood work and starting to send them to the lab something my else might be happening. My family only has a history of thyroid cancer and lung cancer cuz they smoke we lived to be 85 and 90 but we all get a little bit of dementia and Alzheimer's . But that is we usually end up dying from. that's part of the mental illness part. but all my family members are skinny I mean I'm the only large person in my family because of the the Seroquel. I do not have high blood pressure I do not have any type of Diabetes I do not have an insulin problem my ACl one is at like 4 even at my weight . so I don't have problems. but we are trying to figure this out that they took my blood and all the vitamins I'm perfectly good on vitamins I do not need any extra types of foods are vegetables anything I add to my diet. So my dietitian has tried to add vegetables to my diet over the last six weeks and I gained weight he tried to remove meat from my diet go back to the shakes and do less calories that's when I lose weight so basically it comes down to 750 calories. If I eat 750 calories I maintain 271 lb if I eat less than 750 calories bye 200 calories I begin to lose 1 pound a week if I eat anything over 200 calories IV in the game 2 pounds a week again. so I'm hoping with you Latuda and dropping the Seroquel and they replace of the Seroquel using the Latuda that this will change I will keep you updated. And I'm hoping that I meet more people that have mental illness and doing the surgery can give me other ideas or is there any psychiatrist out there that know of any other mental illness bipolar mood stabilizers that are weight neutral please informing or inform us. Thank you sincerely yours The Crazies

now I know Abilify is another way to go to and the bullfight is the new medication that I take I've been on Seroquel for a long time and they always say weight neutral when they first come out and then I later on the end up becoming a lawsuit and I understand that they always get the car and all that stuff comes involved but my doctor thinks that what happens is if you don't even have the carbs I was only on 1200 calories but he thinks that what it does is slow down your insulin. but here goes the crazy part I've been doing the same diet since the May 23rd to Mill Replacements a day 64 ounces is 296 oz of water and 3 oz of meat for the first 45 days after the surgery I lost from 318 lb to 271 lb but in the last 6 weeks I haven't lost anything I gained 5 lb nothing is changed and it's got my PCP and my doctor who do the surgery and even my dietitian scratch their heads and they did all my blood work and they're not seeing anything any signs except for some weird sign that my iron is extremely low and my vitamin D and my calcium is completely out of whack prior to the surgery they wasn't so they're all trying to figure out what the change is only person is even trying to do anything different at this point is my psychiatrist who's taking me off of my volume is an axes and changing my Seroquel to Latuda and seeing if this is going to do any difference and raising my Topamax which is only thing that actually is there a weight-loss medication to see if that will help anything I haven't eaten a piece of fruit or piece of vegetable and literally since the three days before May 23rd I haven't drinking anything but water and or protein water since the surgery my literally my calorie intake is from the meats that I eat at night about 5 p.m. and the shakes come to a total of between 680 calories to round 810 calories a day I walked between 10 to 15000 steps a day up to sometimes 20 and I also played the drums for about an hour and everybody says that I'm very active I look very healthy I never see you if it's good I'm always running around now I feel great but I went to my primary care physician 5 weeks ago I was 268 then I went to then I went to my psychiatrist I was 271 I went to my primary care physician I was 274 now 2 weeks ago and today I'm 277 I haven't changed anything so I called my dietitian yes I'm a dietitian don't call him cuz he's really worried about my situation and I call it a day so maybe we're going to go ahead and put you on a 1200 calorie diet and maybe that will restart your metabolism and that's going to worry me but I'm going to try it and maybe that'll give me a jump start again a lot of towels and start losing weight he said maybe you're just exercising too much and you just need to have more cuz your body's going to self starvation mode it makes sense and somewhere but I'm just afraid if I start eating more Ill gain more but I'm not eating carbs so I haven't had a potato chip in 3 years

I originally was put on Lamictal hospitalize me and put me on Seroquel so it didn't work apparently I'm a paranoid schizophrenic bipolar one extreme Mania so I didn't work for me on that front but I'm glad you commented thank you another one that you tried for me was lithium he did not want to try Abilify yet that someone I haven't tried it. They are also giving me a sleeping pill so I can sleep because obviously taking me out the Seroquel is helping me sleep so they're putting me on a love some kind of sleeping pill starts in the house and that way I can have an agent for sleep with cuz they also have me on Xanax and I'm trying to get off of Xanax I don't like having to take a barbiturate to sleep
