No' date=' I actually didnt join. I couldn't make the practices :/ are you doing it? When's your surgery? I'm 12/29 yikes![/quote']

Today was our 3rd week and we are divided into 2 groups: the joggers are with Dr. Tony and the walkers are w/Nancy and Jamie. I don't have a surgery date until my hematologist clears me for surgery. I have a final weigh in with Claudia on Monday---> nervous about that weigh in. Wow, your surgery date is near! I'm excited for you!

I just started my liquid diet today. I think I'm the most nervous to get through these 2 weeks especially with Christmas. I'm about to go get some sf Jello, hope it helps lol I wish I lived closer to make the practices! Do you go to any of the support group meetings?

Omg it's horrible!! lol it was soooo hard and today's not much fun either, but I did make an assortment of sugar free Jello last night so it's been a tiny bit more bare able. The trip to the store for jello was torturous lol and you'd never believe it, but this guy from my childhood hit me up on fb, said he'd seen me on someone's page and asked me to dinner tonight. Really?? Now? Unbelievable!! Ha!

No way! I hope you meet up with him and somewhere that doesn't really involve food. Too funny and cute at the same time.

Isn't that crazy?? I put him off of dinner for now, but we've been texting all day. The distraction helps with the liquids too! It's crazy how much things revolve around food... And to think I'm just starting on this journey... Kinda rules out dinner for awhile. Idk when/ if to tell him?!? Lol what timing! It's just crazy too... He teaches at our old high school and I teach at our old elementary school... :) Maybe this year will bring good things! When is the couch to 5k walk??

I think it's so lovely and crazy at the same time. I wonder how many other girls this has happened to? I'm happy that y'all are in contact and as for telling him, I don't have an answer to that. I'm positive that 2013 will be the year of good things to come for you! The walk is on Saturday, February 2nd at Reliant Stadium. I asked Dr. Tony on Saturday if we would be required to run and he said no. Can you and your classmate meet at a Starbucks?

Good idea, hopefully this week sometime. I promised we'd FaceTime when I get home later. I can't even imagine running a 5k! Maybe one day for me... You rock it girl!

In about 2 years, we'll be rocking the Houston Marathon. We are on the path to healthiness and deserve to do all what we couldn't do because of our weight!

Does anyone take ADHD meds or antidepressant meds? I had my surgery in January 2005. I have been on different meds for the above for the past 3 years. I was put on vyvanse and Zoloft and now I have severe anxiety and having to take Xanax and it doesn't seem to help with my anxiety.

Any help please. I have been feeling more tired and sad. Is there a forum for trouble with meds?

Thank you Sharon

Hi Sharon,

This is my first post. My surgery is Jan 8th. I take meds for both ADHD and depression.

My dr originally had me on Zoloft, and after one year it just stopped working! Maybe that is where your anxiety is coming from. I'm now on Pristiq and Wellbutrin, have been for about 2 years and doing great. Only time I get anxious is if I don't take my adderall or pms. He gave me some Ativan to pop if I get stressed, but I hardly ever take it. I'm worried the surgery and malabsorption will disrupt my mood. Did that happen to you?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
