I have my 6-mo review at the end of the month. I don't feel like I've lost much weight or not as much as I should. I too, have fibromyalgia among other ailments (need a knee replacement on left leg and have a sprained ankle on the right leg which won't heal). I had the same expectations as you, that losing some weight (I've lost 61 lbs) would help alleviate the fibro, but it hasn't. In fact I feel like I'm even achier since I am doing things now that I haven't done in three years. Everyone tells me I need to exercise and the exercise of advice is swimming. Well, I also have a "germ" thing and just can't go to pools where I feel there are lots of germs for me to be exposed to. I did see an exercise chair on TV and has sent away for it, so at least I can get some other body parts moving. Fibro is very hard for people to understand, but my friend I do understand your situation. My psychologist keeps telling me how positive the surgery will be for me and I know that it already has been. I'm off of diabetes meds ad my sugar is always in normal ranges now. God is certainly helping me handle all of the changes I've been going through, but some days, like today, I feel terrible and have cried many times...still missing that food comfort. I'm hoping this website well be another tool to help me live with the "new" me. Bless you for posting, because, like I said, I know how you feel. You are in my prayers!
