Jachut 487 Posted December 13, 2005 Day five, and I woke up weak and shaky, felt like my blood pressure was very low. Silly me drank my morning coffee first, then couldnt get in my shake, it took me 3 hours to finish it. I feel a bit lethargic, lacking energy and a bit achey from the gas today. But hey, I'm down a few kilos! I'm really really tight though, much more so than yesterday. Nevertheless I went shopping, since it cures everything. I found these great ice pack containers - shake containers, salad containers, and a dip and cracker/vegetable container, all contain their own special ice ring so you can transport the food. So fabulous for when I have to go to university - previously on uni days I just skipped lunch and probably went through the McDonalds drive through or to Muffin Break on the way home. Now I can take a perfect bandster lunch. I bought Doug a set too for work. I also bought an AWESOME stretchy crossover dress, the kind that would look really great with some nice bootleg jeans and stillettos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anwyn 0 Posted December 13, 2005 A little retail therapy always helps ease the blues, I always say! Unfortunately, I'm not quite to the point where buying clothes makes me feel good, lol. Sorry to hear that you had a tough day. It was two weeks out from surgery before I was feeling really good. Feel better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted December 13, 2005 Hang in there, it was almost 3 weeks for me before I felt human. Heating pad and pampering will help. Maybe get a spa pedicure where you sit in the vibrating chair for 1/2 hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted December 13, 2005 Waking up feeling weak and shaky is NOT good. Are you on BP meds? The feelings you described are very scarey... lethargic? My goodness - you need to let you doctor know these symptoms. Try a McDonalds shake in the late evening. This may help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted December 13, 2005 Hmmm, I do feel a bit better today, I made more effort to take in more calories, things that would stick around a little longer. I dont have high blood pressure so am not on any meds. I did actually faint at lunch time and rang my surgeon, he said I needed to get more into me, not to worry about choosing low calorie or low fat, not that I really was but it was easy enough to choose some Soup with meat and Pasta in it, that kind of thing. Feel loads better today but I think I have to slow down a little. I was on such a high I've just rushed ahead like a bull at a gate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
