Now that I think about it, I realized how long ago it was that we chatted, and it's obscene that you've had to wait this long for surgery! Good god. I know how excited you are now that you're seeing the finish line in sight!
Do you have a local buddy for your WLS postop journey?
Hey sweetie! *hugs* What's the drug called? I got fed up with the painpills and the daily withdrawl and ache so I quit them back in May. The only thing that saves me most days is weed, but I've put on 10 lbs as a result (while dieting even! the munchies are deadly). I'm at my wit's end. Doing my best each day.
I thought of you when doing research on a pain med my doc discussed with me. How is YOURS lately? Any improvement at all or are you dealing with the beast as bad as I have been? I've been off and on friggin bedrest. Like an old woman. Anyway, it's been awhile, thought I'd say hey, and I care.
Listen to your gut, it's never wrong. Trust me, I've not listened to it and learned hard lessons. VERY hard ones. But I'm learning to listen to it and the lesson from that is to TRUST IT. Your gut knows.
I really think it's the increased exercise that's helping me deal with the pain better, but it's hard to feel greatful for it improving cause it still hurts so much. The better I feel, the less pain pills I take, so the worse I feel. A full circle type of thing. My dream is to one day be thin, pain free, and off all the pills, but I realize that may never happen. We're tough tho kiddo, I think if we can beat fat, we can wipe our tears and beat the pain too. I gotta keep believing that. It gets me out of bed every morning. *hugs*
