Man i havent been on here for a while.

I am not doing all that well these days.

Sorting out anxiety and depression stuffs.

Back on meds for a month now and it has been a struggle. My weightloss is non-existent.

Just trying to sort myself out. Getting better is more important than the food and diet stuffs at the moment I feel.

Just a word of warning. Dint EVER eat corn off the cobb.

I nearly died a few days ago due to some um, obstruction business in the bowels... I was in the bathroom for more than an hour. Don't do it, ever!!! The pain and suffering is ghastly!

Hope you are all doing well ;-)

I miss you guys!

I have had a similar experience. I stopped taking my antidepressants cold turkey and about a month later it was AWFUL. I started having panic attacks and couldn't go anywhere where there were people. I've been back on them for about three weeks now and feeling much better but still struggling with some depression. I will never do that again! I hope you get to feeling better soon and I praise you for taking care of you:)

Sorry you've been having trouble. :(

I have been dealing with depression and major anxiety this last month too. What is going on?? Mine is caused by back issues and not working. Feel isolated from the real world. This last week ive been feeling better mostly because I finally lost enough weight to have my back surgery which is in 6 days! That alone is causing anxiety but not in a horrible way. I take meds myself but will go after my surgery if im not feeling better to get it up'ed or changed.

Note taken about corn on the cobb. I'll stay away! Glad u r ok.

Nice to hear from you my April friend and will be thinking of you and hoping things get better! ♥

Never never try to mess with anti depressants cold turkey or without dr supervision! It can do crazy things to you. If I miss the one I'm on even one dose, I get the crazy swishing sound in my head and i cant stand it. Cant imagine what would happen if I tried to quit. It is nice to know that im not the only one who suffers from this crap! Maybe we should start a "crazy april group". ;) It's not fun to feel these things. I hope you keep getting better my friend! Best wishes!

Yup,me too! In the hospital...just had the blocked graft in my neck fixed..one crappy procedure done...get this...a resident at the hospital started questioning why I am on "all these" antidepressants...VERY rudely.. I'm actually only on one for being "crazy" the 2 others are for sleep and Migraine. As if a pissant resident knows what he's talking about...he also didn't think I had lost much weight...he didn't know when I had my surgery, and didn't think 107lbs was a lot. Anyway, he made me seem fat and crazy...ha! I'm crazy only in the best possible way and getting skinnier by the day...just like all my April peeps.

Wow what an ass! What gives some people the right or makes them THINK they have the right?? I'll never understand. What hospital are you at?

How did the procedure go? Hope you are doing ok and heal quickly! You've had enough hospitals and bad stuff lately!

Well did your aim get any better? Pretty sure mine would have after I threw something to hit him with lol just kidding.

Hope the procedure went well. Hope it's 1 step to getting U on the mend and feeling a lot better. Idk what's wrong with people.... There are also the people who have never been overweight or had anyone close to them struggle and don't understand how it feels..totally lacking compassion. I think you should ask him if you see him again why is he such a smart dumb person. Smart enough to get into med school dumb enough not to be able to shut his mouth with things he doesn't know about.

Lost my mind! I have been nibbling candy some since Halloween. Never really much but I allowed myself to be foolish and do it. Its never made me but mildly nauseous. I had even complained about how doomed I was cause I was tolerating it and nothing seemed to make me dump. The thing is I had the tiniest pieces before and not at once. I've only had something I thought was dumping after surgery one time before but..I had 3 of those small pieces and wasn't long my heart was racing and I felt very ill. Just now feeling back to me but still have a pounding heart and feel icky. Got my wish! Apparently I DONT tolerate everything and DO dump. I am glad too! Maybe more straight & narrow now for me

        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.

      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
