I take several medications. For pain, depression and blood pressure. I’m able to take them all orally. If you are able to take cymbalta i salute you! I wish I could! It just makes me nuts as does Lyrica. Not only did cymbalta make me nuts but it caused me to gain weight. I’ve settled in nicely to 40 Mgs of Paxil and clonazam daily to help me through. I had a deep post op depression. Physical changes I guess? Hydro and occasional midol for my fibromyalgia.

I had my gastric sleeve in August! I had a week on the liquid diet before surgery. Total I have lost 54 lbs. I get so discourage when I stall but I keep pushing. I am able to ride my horse and get down on the floor with my 2 under 2 grandsons ( different families). My biggest issue is diet Dr Pepper. My dr told me in the rules class that if it was iced or had a bit of water in it then it would be okay. Not only am I retaining water but my fibromyalgia seems worse. Thinking I need to stick to water. On a good note, my clothes are hanging off of me and I’m down from size 22 pants to a 16/18. I never dreamt I could get out of size olus clothes !!! Hurray for August Sleevers!
