Quilttina

I had a really bad day yesterday. Crying. I could not stop. Very emotional with the liquild diet. Did not get enough protein. It hurt everytime I sipped. Finally fiqured out I quit taking pain med too early. Every time I toook the pain med I just fell asleep. I Discovered need to take a little pain med to tolerate food. :thumbup: New goals today. Walk more, drink more water and get my protein in at least 60 gms. Nutrional told me about greek yogurt has 23 gms protein. will try smoothie today with it. Did sleep better last night. Fell like a new women today. Worried about the new philsophy of lean and mean. So far just mean. I'm leaving a wake of dead people in my path. If you want to know where, I at just look for the dead or dispondant. I'm always the fun one, no one needs to be around me right now. My children are looking at me as if i grew two horns and a tail. My husbands looks like he wants to cry everytime he looks at me.He has been very supportive. You really need support thru this process.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm very weak but walking today. only been able to get down 1 protein drink a day 4 oz in morning and 4 oz in evening. sipping water in between. Special k has protein water in berry flavor, been sipping that all morning. Got to go walk again...

Mrs mink... We are in the same boat. I too was banded on June 11th. I don't know if it is safe but i took so phillips Milk of magnesia wild cherry flavor.It say s cramp free on bottle. I had a very small liquid bm 6 hours later. Still bloated also.My stomach feels the same way. I am wearing loose clothes. Got my walking shoes on...

Just banded June 11th. I had mild discomfort after surgery. Doc made me stay overnight in hopital. When I woke up at 3 am I was in pain. Gas x strips help plus the pain medication pump. That is when I started questions WTH have I done.I had no energy. I felt like someone had unplugged me. All the nurses were great. Of course I knew most of them. I have worked at this hopital for 22 years. The doctor is the new one. Much better after I got home and started my protein shakes. Increased energy. Just having a hard time laying down to sleep. I feel like I'm on the way to a new me. My new motto is lean and mean. :confused: I feel more mean than lean right now.

I'm doing the samething. sleeping in sitting position. Only getting about 4 hours of sleep at a time. I'm going to try to sleep on side with pillow tonight. Port area is hard to the touch and has that pulling pinching feeling when I try to lay down. Gas x strips have been very helpful. that and the loritab liquid.

I had the same thing today. Only 1 day post op i used hot tea.Hot liquid seams to break it up and i was able to cough some of it out

10 more days till surgery. I have to see my surgeon tomorrow and I don't know why I'm really nervous. I have a sense of impending doom. I'm afraid the doc will cancell the surgery for some reason. :w00t:

The cpap is adjusted to the individual person. If you give it away it would have to be adjusted to that person.

The cpap uses postive pressure to open airway. I have partical obstruction . I just got my cpap in march. Had a very difficult time adjusting to the mask. I found I like the nasal pillows better. It took me stwo months to adjust before I got a good nights sleep
