I' date='too, have chronic pain issues, along with Migraine related vertigo. I just got back from the er because of incredible , searing ear pain related to my trigeminal nerve...kept me up all night until I just couldnt take it anymore. Sometimes I just don't even care about my weight loss with all the other crap I've got going on. But, on the bright side, I started a new job training last night and could sit for four hours without too much pain. At least it was manageable. Never could have done that six months ago. Dori, I hope your surgery goes really well. Living in pain is hard. Keep your chin up![/quote']

Sorry you are still having problems with your nerves yet. I really hope they can find something that makes it better. I understand that sometimes you dont care about loss. I honestly feel the same way. I just want my back to feel better. To people that dont deal with stupid chronic pain, it must seems weird but feeling normal is really all I want. Sure I like the loss and how itakes me feel but my primary goal is to be pain free and get back to the fun loving, fun having person I used to be! Feel better soon my friend!♥

Sitting here with the chills and yet have an ice pack on my back. I am stinkin mess today. Weight was down a pound today though, 237. Saw a friend yesterday and he said "omg are you looking good, real good!" Yeah that made my day!

Tomorrow I have my "6 month" post op appointment with the surgeon. It is actually a week and a half early but should be pretty good anyway! I found the picture of me eating out the day before the liquid fast so a few days before surgery and the other is last week! It is terrible to see how I truly was and how I didn't realize that was me when I had the extra weight!

Wow do you look awesome!! Great job! I didnt realize I had gotten so big until I saw my side by side pictures! Im so thankful for this surgery and the chance to change my life! Best of luck on hour appointment. Cant wait for mine as I havent had any bloodwork done since surgery and am so curious to see where I am at. I think im taking all the right stuff but that is the only area of this post op stuff where im unsure.

Took a 5 hour nap today! Wasn't expecting that at all and I dont feel any better either! of course there is a big party for a good friend at my neighbors house on Saturday! Wanna go and see some old friends. Gotta get better by then!
