Just got home from having six injections in my back. Dr.is doing medial nerve block testing. Hoping to have radiofrequency ablasion' date=' which burns the nerves in my back that cause the pain. Have had it before and they are going to give it another try to try to keep me comfortable until is see the spine surgeon in June. Am gonna sleep the day away today. on a good note, I was 280 today which is 23 down from surgery date, April22.[/quote']

Poor thing! I hope they are able to get you some sort of relief until a more permanent solution is found!

Thanks Terry. Been dealing with this for years, and it is just getting so much worse. See the spine surgeon in June so we will see.

Hey guys, I had my surgery on April 2nd! I'm down 35lbs, but I have hit a stall point and have stayed at the same weight for almost 2 weeks now. I'm trying to increase my Protein and change my exercise habits. But, it's discouraging!

I am going on 4 wks post op. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I have a horrible attitude. I feel depressed unmotivated and well life just sucks attitude. I have 2 wonderful boys and a great husband. So much to be great full for but I miss food. Nothing is satisfying me and I feel like an outcast when it's time to eat with the family. Maybe I should see me physiologist? I don't know. Is it withdraws?

I'm in the same spot you are. My guess is it's part of the grieving process for losing our close friend, food. The psychologist can help you work through it. I don't feel much like eating or working out at all. I'm just laying around the house and sleeping a lot feeling sorry for myself.
