Hopeless Birthday
Hello Everyone,
Sorry I have not been the best in joining in on the posts. The last few days especially today has not been the best for me. Today is my birthday and I am missing my traditioinaa l sweet Safeway bakery Birthday Cake. Not to mention, I am sick of doctor's and tests for this chronic Hypotension when Standing. I can hardly move around the house, let lone, I get no excercise! Today I have just been 
yea this little guy is me!!! Not very happy the marriage department either I think my clear sugar free mind is letting me see things I hid with food. So far for I have seen and Endocrinolgist, a Cardiologist, my PCP and I have become best friends LOL! I have had a Cardiac Ultrasound, a MRI Brain Scan, excessive blood work, an ACTH Stimulation test to rule out adrenal insufficiency. I have follow up appointments with a Neurologist, and the Endocrinologist later this month. There are several things they have to rule out, such as failure of the autonomic system, multiple system atrophy (either one of these would be the worst case senario) or just a thyroid problem or metabolic problem (best case senario) anyway, I am hoping and praying for the best. I am going back to work next week and that I think will help my mood. Oh, and another thing, I am scared of trying to new foods! Well, anyway, it is not like me to complain I just felt I needed to vent. I love all you guys and if it were not for this forum, I do not know what I would do. Take Care. Will keep you posted. Need your thoughts and prayers. Oh,by the way I am hoping to see some of you at the St. Agnes Support Group tomorrow night!!

First off Happy Birthday and sending big hugs your way for everything you have been feeling and going through! It's perfectly normal to be running through all these emotions. So many changes all at once. It's a lot to digest and deal with. I remember my first birthday which was two months after my WLS and yes, it was depressing in a lot of ways. No birthday cake at all and because there was no cake at work no one knew it was my birthday so that just compounded on how I was already feeling. It does and will get better. I am keeping you in my prayers for the best case sceniero from all your tests and that all will work out. 
Hang in there and even though I'm an oldie back new to the boards I'm around if you need to chat. 
This is a great place to vent! I know I have at times done just that!!!!! Take care!

Aw, honey, I am SO sorry you're going through all of this. I'm sorry we didn't know it was your birthday. I promise, food-wise, it will NOT always be like this. There are some great s/f cakes and products out there - just get through this year and next year will be totally different. As far as your health issues, I'll keep my fingers, toes and legs crossed that everything works out. I'm glad you're staying on top of things - that will be key to you feeling better.
Please call me if you need anything. And hang in there!!!!
If nothing else, celebrate the fact that you're taking steps to become the healthiest possible Terri you can be. Things WILL get better - these are just bumps in the road. And we're riding them with you!!
Hugs,
Tia
Well Happy Birthday, you don't need that cake! We never really needed that cake, do something nice for you.
Two weeks after my RNY my esophagus stopped working, it was a living hell. I could not eat and if I did it would sit in my chest. I was told at one point I was going to have to take meds from Canada to get my esophagus working again. Well needless to say I stayed on Reglan for 9 months and my esophagus is fine. I know what you are going through. I promise all of this is going to pass. The more weight you loss the better it is going to get. I was at the doctors twice a week, it drove me bat **** I am telling you that will pass too. This is not an easy road at times and we do tend to hit a couple bumps in the road. I had major surgery 6 weeks ago for hernia's due to my RYN. I WOULD DO ALL OF THIS OVER AGAIN! Keep your chin up. This will all work out in the end.
BIG HUGS Kristen
