Fibromyalgia/cgronic Fatigue Syndrome



Recommended Posts

Does or did anyone else suffer from these disorders and did the RNY do anything I ease some of the effects? I am 3weeks post-op and have lost almost 40lbs so far, obviously the weight itself wasn't helping anything but I am confident it ha already started to ease some of the major pain (back, hips ect...) Anyone else find this?

Hey, yes I've been diagnosed with both. The medication I was taking got stuck every single time! I'm almost 3 months out and so far I have not had any improvements. My back pain and migraies are really bad, but that could just be a part of the process.

I have both and lost 105 pounds. It hasn't helped so far. Very fatigued and joint pain.

I have RA and the weight loss has helped. I am having a flare right now, but confident it is the crazy weather and issues with insurance and medication.

This is in par with what I have heard from the doctors, does anyone use thc (marijuana) for their fibro? I hear such conflicting opinions about the validity of it's usage...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
