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.

@ sage tracey thanks for the reply. I bet I did over do it. Freak that I'm not helping my husband "/ I need to recoup. Apparently I have a virus not the flu. Thank god. Key the sweats and chills continue

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
