Why oh why do I do this?

Hello again,

I am back once more, needing support and encouragement after another slip of the scale in the wrong direction.  Yes, I had surgery.  This is where it started to go wrong - Vicodin pain pills!  I was eating whatever sounded good because the pain pills made me nauseated.  Then there is the knee injury and another surgery planned in October to repair a torn meniscus.  More Vicodin.  I hate taking narcotics, but they do help with the pain. 

Just as I recovered from one surgery that prevented exercise, I have a bum knee keeping me from doing almost any cardio workout.  I’ve gained 20 pounds since June and I think I might be getting depressed.  I see a therapist and I got the “hang in there” speech last night, but I have to do something now. 

So I bought a bottle of Alli.  I had one last night and got stomach cramps after dinner.  I took one this morning before breakfast and now I’m nauseated.  Maybe Alli isn’t the answer but I’m desperate!  I think I might go Atkins again for a week or so, just enough to kick start my metabolism and lose the water weight.  Getting rid of fluid would help the swelling in my knee, and then I would feel okay with just Ibuprofen.  It’s a terrible cycle of pain, lethargy, nausea, headache, swelling, and back to pain. 

So if anything, please just say a prayer for me.  I will get through this!!  Thank you!
