[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 567961, member: 2211"] (((Janet))) What your Dr said to you was not so horrible. It's that she didn't review your file completely before saying it. It is true that a body in motion tends to stay in motion, but with the level of pain you feel everyday all day, it's difficult at best. Her comment about finding a routine, forcing yourself to get up and shower and begin your day, keeping busy, sounds like what she wants is for you to re-set your clock. Meaning, your natural bio-rthyms are off (I know this because mine tend to do that now and again, usually brought on by chronic pain which causes interrupted sleep) so you have to force yourself to stay awake by day so you can sleep at night. This process usually takes about a week so during that time, you will be very tired...make sure you stay away from artificial foods and stimulants, eat a lot of proteins and drink a lot of water. In fact, I had to keep a diary of everything I ate and drank. This does work and may be rewarding if you're able to net more than two hours of sleep here and there. In regards to the gastric by-pass procedure, from what I've heard it's become easier to get it. Maybe she realizes that with all your pain and inability to move like you used to, it may be a starting point to lose some of the weight through the gastric bypass. I don't think she sounds horrible - she's maybe looking at you with new eyes? Hugs. [/QUOTE]
