No kidding! I take a day off here and there, but mostly I take those days off to just end up doing some other kind of work. I have half a day off Friday - so i can make a wedding cake!

Self medicating with chocolate....I know the feeling well. When I get tired run down, I don't want to deal with making the right choices. They just don't sooth the way the chocolate or icecream or something cheesy does. How I wish they could invent a pill that would give you the same satisfaction without any of the calories or zits!!!!!
Take care and I hope you get back on track soon.

Alyssa, you are never a bother! You have been through so much it's no wonder you feel the way you do. One day of not being myself gets me down, I can't imagine an entire year of what you've been through.
Maybe an Endo doc will help. I know that my PCP said my levels were ok, but when I was still exhausted and irritable I decided to see my Endo doc again and he said I was indeed, NOT fine. My levels were too high. So the standards PCP's go by isn't always right. He adjusted my meds and I went hyperthyroid, now the meds have decreased and I have to go back.
I hope you get your answers soon, you deserve it!

I'm glad Lyrica helps her! I just wondered if she got headaches at first with this med. I woke up today with a massive headache!

And Dev, we also have this flaky weather lately. The temp was 94 yesterday while I was out, and it is just now up to 46 degrees. I don't even know how to dress lately.
I feel like I need a month off to just rest.

We are in the same boat Dev. I had a small bout of flu last week and then yesterday I find out my dog is in Renal Failure so how do I cope.... You got it ice cream! Why im not really sure....
We can get through this self inflicted plateau! I have a small fill for tomorrow and I am going to hope for the best.

I've been doing just terrible lately with my eating. I have a little restriction (with occasional days of a lot of restriction) but I have been doing lots of eating around my band! I keep gaining and losing the same 5lbs over and over again. Today I'm trying to do better! I'm not going to let myself have any sugar or artificial sweetener! I also scheduled a TINY fill for next week. Most of all, I've just got to stay away from the darn valentines/Easter candy!!
I feel like part of the problem has been a real lack of energy! I had my GB surgery followed by the flu and, even though it's been weeks since the flu, I feel like I still don't have all my energy back!

I'm so glad they're doing more looking! When you said how much you gained and how fast, I think all of us knew that it couldn't possibly be just because of what you're eating. It's good to hear that your doctors are really taking the time to try to figure things out. Too often doctors blame everything that happens to us on our weight and our eating; my mom is really struggling with doctors like this. I hope you get answers soon!

Thanks guys!
It was also supposed to have chocolate ganache dripping down the sides, but when I got up early in the morning and frosted it, I totally forgot I had that plan!
