Anyone with anxiety. Did it get worse after



Recommended Posts

Thank God for this topic coming up. I am a basket case when I get home too. I can rant and rave about the counter not being wiped off. When I went to my Dr. and told her I had terrile mood swings and hot flashes. She said it was becasue my hormones are all over the place and that they will be for awhile. I also complained of back pain, which she said is totally normal because alfter losing so much weight in such a short period of time that our bodies are adjusting to a new center of gravity..

Wow that actually makes perfect sense because my back has been aching me something fierce lately. I was beginning to think that the sprain I received in a car accident last year was acting up again. But that totally makes sense

Spot on! I struggled so badly with this first full period post-op because I couldn't turn to food. Nor can I turn to it for any other frustration, mood or celebration. So yeah, I've also been doing a lot of things that I previously wouldn't have focused on. :)

This is exactly the fear I have (I am pre-op)...I know that I use food to soothe my anxiety...and one of the reasons I can't stay on a diet is that if I am craving food and start feeling anxious, I go ahead and eat because my fear of having a panic attack is greater than the fear of the consequences of overeating...but I know that I have to do something to break this emotional cycle, and I am hoping that prayer will help me overcome what I believe is going to be a difficult emotional recovery, and that the result will be a healthier me--both physically and emotionally

I am still on lexapro, ativan as needed and Ambian to sleep as needed. No additional problems! Beta Blocker because my heart races.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
