Topic: RE: 4 years out vitamin question x-post
Hello I can totally relate to what you are saying. your phyc issues are very simmilar to mine and like you have have been in the phyc ward a few times. What i have learned is that they will keep prescribing pills that you may not need. I am assuming that you have bad anxiety as I do too. I was on Xanax as well along with a ton of others but I would bet that is what caused you to be impared. I had somthing similar happen to me but I wasnt driving... other people kept telling me it was like I was drunk but I hadnt had any achahol and for along time I didnt beleive them because I didnt feel any different. It wasnt untill my husband recorded me on his cell phone and it was a total eye opener. I Switched drs. and asked to be dosed off of the Xanax and the Saraquil. I cant een tell you how much more with it I feel. Before I thought I was just super tired all the time but for the most part it was the damn Xanax overly sedating me... just as an FYI 1.5 3x a day is a high dosage. I too started skipping the vitamins because it was just too much to keep track of actually I have had my vitamin levels tested many times and the only thing that has been off is my D and my B-12 and with taking regular over the counter D I was able to fix my D levels I used the gell caps and they seem to absorb just fine. They have given me b-12 shots in the office from time to time and that makes a huge difference I have heard of others being able to do those at home so I am thinking about asking them.

not having the correct vitamin levels in your body can effect all sorts of stuff like you energy levels and your mood so if you got your vitamin levels right you might be able to get off of some of the other meds. it can effect a ton of other things but your regular dr. can test to see if you have low levels or not. i am near madison so my doctor is from there but I am sure there is someone closer. Have you tried to google it?

Topic: RE: after a year im going down hill need advice plz and support
I also have dissablitys that have been majorly restricted in what i can do and I have ALOT of pain that has gotten alot worse with the more weight I loose. i am over 3 years out now and I can relate to what you are saying. What kinda of dissablitys do you have and what specific issues are you having maybe I could make some suggestions with alittle more info. :) I hope things get better I know its rough when you feel like you are all alone and "normal" people have no idea what you are going through. Heck most of the doctors I have had dont have the slightest idea when it comes to the bypass and how they need to handle it.

Topic: RE: 2 weeks post op
Yes, I have wondered about that myself. I started soft foods yesterday and had fish for dinner. I did have to quit eating eventually because I was full and I could feel it. When I was on pureed food and liquids I had no feeling of fullness. Once starting the pureed foods, I do have some occasional nausea. I am hoping with the more solid food I do have more restriction.
