Feeling like crap



Recommended Posts

I had my lap band surgery 2 week ago. I went to help my husband fix one of our bedrooms. I was putting primer on the walls. Omg I'm so sore. I guess I shouldn't have helped out. Other than that I'm on mushy foods an it's kinda sore at time. Should I notify my doctor ? Also my whole body aches. Feels like the flu but I'm not sure. My stomach is sore. What should I do? I need feed back please if anyone is experiencing something like this . Thanks guys xoxoxo

Sounds like you have overdone the physical stuff too soon after your surgery. You know better than anyone how you feel and whether you need to see your dr or not. If it was me and it just felt like overdoing it, I wouldn't, but anything else, or if I was still worried, definitely call.

Hope that you are feeling better soon. Look after yourself now so that you can be even more of a help to your husband down the track.

My husband and I were talking about my weight loss journey today and I discovered just how worried he had been that I would end up as an invalid who was not able to participate in life with him. I am so glad I made this decision and have him on my side!

Really ! My husband was by my side and for it. After surgery he was against it cuz I got sick with the anesthesia that they kept me an extra night. I was also having 2nd thoughts of it. But now that I can eat a little. We are very smart of the choices of food we eat and how much I should have which doesn't bother me eating less.

I hope I can have a baby in a year in a half from now. I only want one they seem expensive LOL. That's my goal. When I started I was at 324 now I'm at 309 and I'm excited How about you ?

If you ever feel as if you might call your doctor, you should do just that! Before my surgery they made sure to stress to me to get plenty of bed rest for the 1st 2 days, no exceptions. I was feeling badly at the beginning due to the whole diet change and read different threads here and BOOM... 4th day post op and I feel great. Keep up the good work just remember to give your body time to heal, and be very patient. Good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
