Paula,
What's funny is that I still see a big girl in the pic, but looking closer I do see the muscles and then I feel fine.
Thank you for the encouragement. Sometimes it's really hard to keep it up.

Hey Linn,
You look so happy in the photo. Your family must be soo proud of your accomplishments. I am too. Doesn't matter how the race went, but you ran it...I am so impressed with your continuing commitment. I hope you are impressed by all your accomplishments as well.
Isn't it wild to look at yourself in pictures and realize you look like the thin person you knew was in there all along? You look great. Way to go.

Sheila,
I did some research for you and it DOES NOT appear to be a good choice for the following reasons:
Mobic, generic name meloxicam, is one of the newer NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) used for the pain and inflammation of arthritis.
According to the UCLA site (which is where I had my WLS surgery):
Off-Limit Medication
REMEMBER after surgery Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs are no longer an option for use. DO NOT TAKE THEM. The chemical composition of this medication is very irritating to the esophagus and stomach lining. Chronic use will result in bleeding, ulceration of gastric lining, and eventually form scar tissue

Hi Sheila,
Not sure what Mobic is. Plus, what about depression, did he address that? I agree with Jill, you need to first of all get referred to a rheumatologist who is willing to work with your restrictions based on wls for treatment. (S)he, hopefully, will help decide what mix of treatments, ie meds plus massage, plus biofeedback or whatever, will work for you.
I have had Fibromyalgia for 39+ years (it was diagnosed at age 12 as "rheumatism", and Fibromyalgia Syndrome [FMS] at age 35). It is a painful disorder that you have to keep on top of to best handle it. Do a GOOGLE search for the groups associated with FMS. They have wonderful information and support for patients and family members.
Best wishes to you in finding some help.

Hi guys,
This link http://www.finishshots.com/raceinfo1.php?raceid=340 is to a proof of one of the pics taken at the race I just did. My race (bib) number is 108. The race went bad for me, but I did finish! My race time and rank are also listed.
As an aside, you'll be able to tell I use a different name here.

Hello,
I don't know what medication you should take but I do know, that a Ruhmatoidoligist should be able to prescribe the proper meds. My mom had Fibermyalgia and then devoloped Lupus, from Fibermyalgia. I am not a doctor but if you go see a Ruhmatoidoligist and talk to your surgon who did your WLS hopefully together they can help you!
I wish you Health and success.
