Feeling weak... Tired... HELP!!!
lucy5 replied to lucy5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks to all of u who replied... I am on depression meds.. Maybe I'm not eating enough... I do start with protein first... Mostly eat only fish the greek yogurts and such.. Have to be honest to put anything in my mouth prior to 12n or lpm usually doesn't happen.. Not feeling hungry usually just downing a cup or two of coffee.. And yes I hadn't thought of it but I am on thyroid med and haven't had my levels checked in quite sum time!!! Will call MD for blood work and ck in with the office with my mostly likely not so good eating schedule/diet... Thanks again to u all! Lucy -
Please advice. Any feedback please... I was banded on July 30th, one day shy of two months.. For the past 3 weeks maybe more.. I have been feeling weak... Now it's to the point I can barely get out of bed! Had my second fill that finally gave me restriction on 9/21... Complained to the MD who only stated I was losing weight too quickly! Down 30 since surgery 60 since I began the process 1st of Feb... I was feeling great had all this energy then all of a sudden.. A dead stop! I'm so upset, confused and feel like such a crappy wife and mom... I'm doing less now than I did at just under 400lbs!! I'm an emotional mess! and crying over this is not working either! Has anyone else had this type of an experience?? I'm no longer able to do even a min on my exercise bike, walk or even think of emerging out of my home! Where did all my energy go? I have a hard time believing what my MD stated when I see shows like biggest losers and people are dropping 30/40lbs exercising 3hrs a day and I can't even lift a leg!!! Please anyone someone Help!!! Thanks, Lucy:crying:

Wow not too many CT on here, but anyway.. Got banded on July 30th 2010 and I'm down 30lbs as of today... Total of 60 Since 1/14/10... Finally got a good size fill today.. Really feeling the restriction and loving it! Hope to meet more bandsters from CT especially anyone who lives close by where maybe we can get together work out and keep each motivated!!!

I've had collected fluid under my skin and had 40cc withdrawn... Starting to feel really hungry also.. My first fill is scheduled for Sept. 7th hope it does the trick also.. I'm still very sore and haven't been able to sleep on my stomach yet and that bothers me.. Was finally told yesterday I can start to exercise and drive.. Hubby got me an exercise bike hope to be able to put it to good use.. I feared I had stretched my pouch also.. Even though all I mostly eat is yogurts, cottage cheese, eggs soups, fish and grilled chicken.. Some crackers too afraid to do pasta, rice or anything that cus I hate to vomit and that's exactly what I did at my daughters in law when she made fried chicken strips.. Thought if I chewed it well enough it would go down but got stuck not even water would push it down and I ended up puking it up... Learned my lesson quick!!!!

Hey Lucy,
Ive been struggling a little bit. I am back at school and definately having trouble eating the way I am supposed to. I keep eating more than I should because I dont feel full. I go home next week for my first fill though, so I hope it gets better. My biggest fear is that I have stretched my pouch. How are you doing?

OMG Robyn I was so happy to hear from u! Just got home yesterday and I am in so much pain It's not even funny... But hopefully by the end of the week I'll be so much better.. I want to hold my baby girl.. she keeps staring up at me wondering when I'm gonna pick her up! wow hernia repair gosh I know those hurt something.. I'm so glad ur home and on your way to a nice recovery and ditto on those gas X can't live without them these days... Are u hungry yet? I can't figure out if I'm hungry or in pain.. I've tried eating some applesauce or small jar of baby fruit and my stomach is like no way lady don't u dare put anything in there.... But then sometimes I think I have indigestion oh who knows I'm just glad the worst of this is over and in two weeks or so I plan on starting to exercise and be on my way to a healthier me! Take Care,
Lucy

Hey Lucy!
I am doing pretty well. I did well in surgery. i had a haitial hernia repain, and apparently it was pretty bad but other than that I did fine. I was in a little pain for a couple of days, but the pain medication they gave me really helped. The gas is almost gone and the only real soreness I have right now is where my port is.
I hope everyhting goes well with you on Friday. Im sure you will do great! Let me know how everything goes. And definately the 2 things you should have after you get home from the hospital is liquid tylenol and gas-x trips. Maybe some Milk of Magnesia too....lol I was a littl ebacked up for a couple days..lol. Good Luck!

Oh gosh I hope not... Heck I'll mix it with crystal lite if I have to!! I just can not keep up with these thick ass shakes!!!!

Not too much info! I used to get those all the time.. Should contact MD think they just have u use hydrocortizone creme... Plus do u have the soap we have to wash with the nite before and morning of surgery... It just may be heat rash... Plus the surgery isn't done down there, it's from the belly button up... Congrats on ur exercise even though u had to lay off for now ur still doing a heck more than I am... Just think positive like this liquid diet is just about over for u!!! Then it's off to takin off the pounds! yeah

yes! you can definately add me as a friend!
I am having a very hard time with the exercise piece too. i have just been walking. I started by walking up my street, because it is a rather steep hill, and then I walked around the block, and then I walked a little farther. I actually walked a mile the other day, but then I pulled a muscle lifting a box and havent walked since.
I am actually kinda worried right now, because I have a rash on my side where my skin folds over itself, (sprry if thats TMI) and im worried if its not better that they wont do the surgery.
I will let you know how I am after surgery. I am very nervous, but also looking forward to it, or at least looking forward to getting it overwith.
