My journey: It Finally Begins!

[1mjs 16]

I'm definitely doing better now! I have progressed to thicker foods; pudding consistency. I only can eat little bits though so I still rely heavily on Protein shakes! I've been playing with flavors so that helps! Sick of chocolate! Can't believe I'm saying that!

A friend gave me a caramel latte Protein Powder. I mix 1/2 scoop, chocolate PB2 and 1 1/2 cups of skim milk....YUM!!!

I've been really depressed. It has been so difficult for me to adjust. I take an anti depressant and in wondering if it has stopped working. Anyone take pristiq and had problems after surgery? My doc upped my dose but I'm worried about overdosing on it now! She wants me to take 100 mg In morn and 100 mg at night. I'm afraid to do that!

So sorry you're going through this. Have you though about having a chat with the psychiatrist that you met with, pre-op?

I thought I should probably do that Lainey. She would be experienced with people dealing with the same issues. I will have my follow up pretty soon.

1mjs, with all of your hormone changes seeing a psychiatrist is definitely a good idea, especially if they have experience with bariatric patients. I hope you are feeling well soon!
