To be honest extremely soar. She prodded me a good deal. The pain is kinda thriving but not bad as the other night. Oh I've been upping my potassium by eating peanuts and bananas. But still going to my pcp next week and also asking to get on Paxil. Do you think a pcp can write that?

I think they can but they may want to send you to physiatrist appointment first.. They will be able to help chose the right medicine

I should say I know they can, mine does.... But that's because I've been through all the therapy,

Physiatrist stuff ...

I have known PCPs to prescribe antidepressants without requiring psychotherapy or counseling...I think it depends on the reasons...I recall that when I first went on an antidepressant (I am on zoloft), my PCP would not prescribe it unless I was also seeing a therapist concurrently...hang in there, fyre

Not a huge fan if Paxil. Took it after third baby was born. Once on it, I gained over 100 lbs. it was difficult to wean off of as well. I recommend Viibryd. Works well with anxiety type issues. Wellbutrin is another good choice, with the least amount of side effects.

I like Zoloft especially if you have anxiety with depression

I'll second the pass on Paxil. I gained 30 lbs on it and demanded to be switched. I take lexapro now, although I've heard similar things about it.

Alright, enough is enough! If those doctors over there don't get this sorted soon, I am coming on over there and drag your arse back here to Australia and get this sorted. You tell them there's a big Aussie lady coming and I don't take any crap!

I may or may not have anxiety but since aussieladys dragging me to Australia and I hate flying I may need an anxiety one. Hmm I guess I'll read up on these pills. God why did it come to this?!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
