Teresa Grooms?
Mandie,
I'm here! Thanks for looking for me! I had a really rough 6 months but I am finanly feeling better these days. I am on 3 different medications to battle the constant nausea I was having and they work about 98% of the time. Doc thinks with time I can get off the medications and not have to take something for nausea anymore. I am not even going to try to go without the medications until a year out! I had enough nausea for everybody here on the board!! LOL With the nausea gone most of the time I am finding myself eating like I need to "catch up". I put back on 8 lbs that my doc said I should never have lost anyway, she said that was from dehydration and malnutrion and thinks I will probably start losing again soon, the right way. I have found that I don't dump except on certain things or large quanities so I am having to becareful of my diet these days with the nausea gone. Honestly, if I don't loose another pound but can stay well, I will take it! I don't think I could go through that again. It has really hurt my marriage. My husband is bi-polar and he just cannot handle me being sick. He says I have changed since my surgery and I am not as loving to him as I once was. One of the new drugs I am on is Paxil, I said I would never take that, but it is the only anti-depressent that comes in a liquid and that is what my doctor wants me to take to make sure I absorb all or most of it. I think all will be ok, eventually. Thanks again for caring...you guys are all great!!!!
Love and hugs!
Teresa
Oh -- I am so glad to hear you are pulling through ok. I was so worried about you. I hope the nausea doesn't last forever, I cannot even imagine going through it all the time. I am glad that meds are helping to control it most of the time.
I hope your marriage will weather the storm....you know what they say..."it's always darkest before the dawn", and "calmest before the storm". There is light at the end of the tunnel for you, it's just getting there that is the hard part.
Take care and keep us posted ok.?!
