Back from the Doc

Good afternoon everyone! I came back from my doc just an hour ago. I had a good discussion with him. Of course, I did break down and cry. I got the nurse to take my weigh in from Dr. Guske's office. First she wanted to weigh me and I didn't want to since I weighed in yesterday. In the end, it worked out. So my doc asked me a couple of questions and then examined me, Everything was fine including blood pressure. We talked about the different antidepressants. He was going to put me on Lexpro but I ask him about Cymbalta. I got my prescription for Cymbalta and will start it tonight. I have to see him in one month for follow-up. So far today I have been 100% compliant. No grazing or any extras. No drinking with meals. I shoveled a bit of snow and ice on the side of my driveway when I got home. I plan on exercising this evening. I am getting through today and I know that tomorrow morning, I will be much happier. I want to thank everyone for your support and words of wisdom. It is comforting to know that I can share my problems with you, without being judged. I know it's not going to be easy, but with each 100% day it will get easier. Hugs, Lucy

Dear Lucy: I am glad that you had a good chat with your doctor and are on the road to feeling better. I hope that this does the trick, but like Wendi said (I think it was Wendi anyway......) if this does not work, you can try another until you find the one that works for you. Hang in there......we love you!

Tell someone that you love them!

Dear Dawn: Thanks for your message. I think that I am better today then yesterday. It took a lot of courage to bite the bullet and go to see my WLS surgeon. He made me feel at ease. I was on pins and needles before I saw him. I felt like a failure and couldn't face him until yesterday. Now I feel like I have hope. I am following his instructions to a "t". I think the combination of eating nutritiously and the anti-depressant will do me the world of good. Thanks for the caring and loving too. I sure need that as I am all alone at home. Hugs and Love, Lucy

Hi Ronna. I'm feeling good tonight. Made the day without grazing. I hope that I can find the place tomorrow. They told me to park in the public parking garage; that everything is within one block. I hope I don't get lost.... Hugs, Lucy

I did a mapquest on all the resturants and they are very close to each other. La Tasca is the only one on Davis street but it is right at Vail where all the other ones are. Here is my cell number incase you can't find it. 847-322-3392. See you later!

Regards and hugs,

I'm so glad you had a good visit with your doctor. It's important to be able to talk to your doctor about the way your feeling and the things that are getting you down. You're on the right track to a healthier you. I too struggle from depression and it' sucks some days so I do know what you're going thru. I take Wellbutrin and it has really helped me. It's nothing to be ashamed of.. more people suffer from depression then people realize. I'm praying for you.. may you find peace and happiness. Christina
