I know this is normal as far as when weight is lost, it has nothing to do with the weight loss itself. On that count, I'm fine emotionally. I am already clinically depressed and medicated for it. I am picking my cuticles again and it's pretty bad. band aid's on many fingers, it's at night when I pull them and can't sleep. I do get my nails done and have taken to doing them myself to save money.

I have high functioning autism, and mild ADHD (the nonattentive kind) I've got IT test's I'm studying for, and anxiety I'm dealing with. Partly because it snowed here last week threw off my schedule, I didn't have church last Friday night due to the snow they canceled but my entire week has been crappy. I've been trying to keep a good outlook, going to the gym working out isn't the issue (that does help my endorphins)

Today I'll be at work, and then head over to the gym then home to clean up for church tonight. It's raining out today, and did I mention I am trying very hard to have a good outlook? It's emotionally and socially draining. Blah. Hopefully, church will heal me (I know it will, always does) Just getting my thoughts out.

Good news though I am down to the 220's and I had my gastric sleeve on the 31st of Oct. 2017. I did go to support group last night, so that's something. :unsure:

Are you treating the ADHD with meds? Luckily I could stay on Strattera after the surgery.

the ADHD is not being treated with medication. Never has been. I'll bring it up when I see my med doc next month. Also, I might need to adjust the clonazapam. She'd know best.

I have been working out daily and that has helped some. I usually sob myself to sleep. Hoping this gets better.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
