Wow sounds like you have alot going on. Have you tried prayer? Do you have a spiritual life? I think that in difficult times we need to reach out especially for our "higher power" which I call God. Sometimes we need to draw strength from forces beyond us. Also talk about it with others, family and friends. It is not healthy to stuff what we feel inside. Talking about it allows us to grieve, process, and overcome any obstacles. Believe that though today may be tough that tomorrow will get better. One day at a time. Don't eat just because of your anxiety and stress. That could mess up what you have accomplished if you have had WLS. Pray, talk, and look forward to tomorrow...Best of luck to you. I will keep you in my prayers.

During this time of upheaval, it is important to take some time for you!

You, especially right now, need to take care of yourself. If this kidney thing turns into something the Doctors have to deal with, you need to be on the top of your game. You need to be as healthy as you can be.

Take the time to get in EVERYTHING you need to supplement. Your protein supplement will help you build up some extra muscle so you can heal faster in case you need surgery.

Vitamin supplements will keep your levels healthy so you will have the chemistry right in your system to continue to be healthy.

keeping on top of these things will also help you feel more in control so the anxiety doesn't effect you quite as much. It will also help to keep you from depression, which can be a factor in anxiety.

You know I am praying for you still, you are never out of my thoughts. Take care!
God Bless!
