I'm really feeling depressed

I've had a bad day ... went to the gynocologist and found out that I have an ovarian cyst, so need to go for an ultrasound and perhaps other tests before she'll decide whether to surgically remove it.  Found out from my first labs that my Vitamin D is really low, as is my calcium, and that I have elevated liver numbers, so my PCP wants to do an ultrasound on my liver and my gall bladder.  And, to top it all off, I am at a stall - haven't lost a pound for over 2 weeks and am doing what I believe is everything right - enough protein, enough water, walking, etc.

I know that a stall is normal, but I'm just feeling like this surgery isn't going to work for me - like I'll be the only person in the world who doesn't lose after RNY.  And with all of this other medical stuff going on, it's just the icing on the cake (which I'll never eat again!).  Plus it's cold and gloomy and I'm just all-around out-of-sorts.

Just needed to vent and wish I felt better after doing it!!

AWW Debbie!!!

OK, {{{Cyber hugs}}} to you!!

We all have our dumpy days and I'd say you deserve this one so don't fight it! 

Don't fret just yet over the medical stuff until it comes to be though....if you worry too soon it's just wasted energy you might need for later.

As far as the stall....wait it out, there's no way you CAN'T loose weight right now unless you're eating that cake with icing which you say you aren't.....step away from the scale for a few days and don't dwell on it....once again, wasted enrgy you might need later.

Here's my prescription:

- Make a S/F hot chocolate
- get a trashy novel
- go soak in the tub
- Take advantage of hubby if that suits ya.....

..............And wake up tomorrow ready to slay dragons!!! 

Oh yeah, go hit the YMCA and get those endorphins pumping!!

sounds like alot of things are crashing in on you all at once, I hope you took Becka's advice and are feeling better this morning.  I think the weather has a part to play in this too!  I've been feeling similarly and don't have the health issues you are facing, go easy on yourself girl.
I owed it to myself to research the duodenal switch before consenting to any other weight loss surgery and so do you.  Check out DSFacts.com and DuodenalSwitch.com for more information.  Remember think twice, cut once, revisions are risky and revision surgeons are rare.

Deb...hope today is a better day for ya. It happens as you know and with the health probs you are having...that may be even more of the cause for a stall. Just try to have patience and keep your mind and body busy! You  will pass the time and not dwell on this as much. It will all work out. Sounds like they are on top of it and getting you taken care of quickly. Hang in there hun...we are here for ya!
