I am still not smoking, it's been a little over a month since I quit. I don't feel any better but food tastes a little better. I am still vaping though.
It's almost the 2 year anniversary of my first hospitalization. Just a few more days. I'll never forget that stay. It was the first time I was away from my kids. It was an awful time for me. Glad to not be there again. I've been out of the hospital since February of 2014. I'm hoping to stay out.

I think 15 pounds on zyprexa shows actually remarkable restraint...most people gain more than that...you might be more able to control it if you added metformin...its a drug for type ii diabetes but works on AP weight gain as well.

congrats on the not smoking

when i was about a year out of the hospital i had a sanity party complete with 4 types of fruit cake.
