Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 WENDY--I think you're doing wonderfully well considering all you've been through! And I think it's a good idea to start taking your Prozac again. The serotonin reuptake inhibitors DO give us more usable serotonin in our brain (they do it by not allowing our brain to drink it up so fast); the other way to spark a release of it is to eat sweets and carbs--no wonder you've been craving some of them! Your weight loss seems pretty good to me too--especially for the procedure you've had. Without a bypass, naturally it'll be a bit slower. Keep plugging away at it and we'll beat this thing together-- I, too, went off my antidepressant (chemically the same as Prozac). I admit to having a harder time eating properly too--we BOTH need to take it! I think I remember that you went off yours rather abruptly and that won't do--you could easily trigger a bit of major depression (I had a hard enough time tapering mine off when I knew the script would run out...). Give it a week or so and see if things don't improve; I think the meds will make a big difference!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 ! 28lbs in 7 weeks is nothing to sneeze at! You're doing great! Are you taking any vits or protein supps? If you aren't, this could be a reason why you are hungry. If you are taking vits and supps, then perhaps you are not getting enough. Have you gotten any blood work done since surgery? I threw everything out that I couldn't eat. I refused to experiment just to see if I " could " eat certain things or if I " could " eat the same amount as before. I was told that sugar was a no-no, so I find it easier to just say " I can't " have it rather then " I shouldn't " have it. I was told to only eat a certain amount, so that's what I ate -- no more or less. I did have a problem with " grazing " in the beginning and learned to keep carrot sticks and fruit handy. Grazing, for me, is the same as head hunger. Grabbing up food was a habit, nothing more. By keeping it out reach and out of sight, I couldn't grab it in passing. I had to learn to be patient with myself. I had to constantly remind myself that it wasn't going to come off over night. It did take time. When I had my surgery 5 years ago, I didn't know and Don (the VitaCouple <G>). I didn't have the choices in protein I have now because didn't know the choices were there. No one told me where to find the vitamins I needed. I didn't have the kind of support a group like this provides or that the monthly meetings at and Don's house provide. Heck -- I didn't know there were so many WLS patients out there! So, remember that we are here when you need help getting over a rough spot. Take advantage of us -- we enjoy it. Talk don't eat. Throw out all the sugar-laden " goodies " and replace them with sugar-free popcicles and such. Say " no I can't " instead " no I shouldn't " . DRINK WATER! Exercise as often as possible. Be good to yourself. Look in the mirror, smile and say, " I love you " . Okay, rambling lecture over. I shall get off my soap box and go take a shower. Take care.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 hi Suzi I recognize all you have said. I know all this but for some reason at the moment it just isnt sinking in. Iam avoiding chucking out all the bad food in the house as I want things to be as normal as poss for my two kids. I also know that they would benefit from a healthier diet,This I need to do gradually.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Dear . So glad to hear you started on your Prozac again. It takes awhile to start working again, so give it time. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 YVONNE--That was good advice to , hon; Prozac et al DOES take awhile to work. I don't know if I should have said to give it only a week or so--it could well take a bit longer than that... My Luvox has the peculiar feature (or I do! LOL) of making itself felt about a half hour after my first dose--but that's not the usual reaction!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 >>>I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet.<<< Ava, several drug companies have programs to help people with the cost of medication. Have you ever checked into that with the manufacturer of the medications you need? Also, what about that medication insurance that you pay something like $7.95 a month and you get significant discounts on prescription medication? Guess the social worker in me comes out in situations like this. :-) Sheri In Sunny Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Hi , Sorry to hear about your disappointment of your surgery, but 27 pounds, is great! This can't be all about weight, what about your health? 27 pounds gone forever and your health should only get better. Hang in there girl and be good to yourself. Are your exercising? Exercising will help. I never like to myself, but since I started it feels good to do something good for me.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well, I have had a few things happen this week so I thought I'd give an update on my situation. As you know, I've been waiting since June for an appointment with a specialist to get a 2nd opinion on my neuro.'s dx of MS for me. So, 3 1/2 months later, I finally got the word that I have an appointment.... for DECEMBER 15th. Hello! That's like, 6 months later from the time I started trying to get in at all. But, the lady on the phone told me that was typical for these docs because they are so overbooked. Great. This was very discouraging to me. I found this out on Wednesday. On Thursday I began to get very upset because my arm and leg were going from tingly to painful, my eyes were bothering me more than usual, and I felt very depressed. My dh was very concerned when he came home for lunch, seeing me so upset. He called my neuro. to see if there was something that could be done (steroids, etc.). My neuro's office said that if I wanted to get a 2nd opinion, then there was nothing they could do for me until after that appt. Like I said before, the appt. is not until December, which is THREE MONTHS AWAY! I began making some phone calls, and was able to get in touch with some very nice ladies from the local MS support group, which I have never been to before. They gave me a lot of reassurance, but seriously encouraged me to seek medical help immediately for my current condition. They suggested calling my regular family doctor, so I did. He prescribed me 5 days of 20mg of Prednisone. I took the first one this morning, and my arm is feeling better, but not my leg just yet. Also, I got in touch with a different set of neurologists in Memphis, TN, and was able to get an appointment for Sept. 22nd, which is not even two weeks away. I am really psyched about that! I hope this neuro. in Memphis is worth the trip over there, and that he'll be able to give me some much needed answers. Anyways, I just wanted to post this for those of you who like to keep up with these kinds of things. Take Care!
