Hard day today



Recommended Posts

Today has been a terrible day. I had my surgery on 3/9 and this weekend I went to a cat show where my husband and were showing one of our cats. It was local but it involves a lot of walking, though my husband did most of the work and I mostly stayed sitting down at our cage and just walked to rings when my cat was being judged. It was two days and it really took a lot out of me, it is the most activity I have done since surgery.

The problem is my allergies decided to flare up this weekend too so yesterday and today I have had a horrible scratchy throat and it is making the thought of eating sound even more gross then it normally is. The throat is making everything taste off more than usual and making it hard to drink today. I also have a pain in the left side of my back that sort of feels like gas pain and hurts when I breath too deeply, but I am not sure if it's gas or just pain from doing too much yesterday. I almost feel worse today that a couple days after surgery.

Sorry to be so negative, I just needed to vent, over my horrible day, hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Your not being negative, your hurting and need some advice. . the pain is gas. . .walking and some Gas-X can help that. . . if you don't feel like eating, don't, just make sure you sip Water and stuff because you don't want to dehydrate. . . nice hot tea will help (it does me) . . . but don't dehydrate and take your allergy meds. . . good luck. . this too shall pass :)

Feel better! And I'm jealous you got to go to a cat show! What breed is your cat?

I actually breed Bengal cats. We show all over the southeast. We only showed one this weekend because I could not really help. I also have a Siberian kitten that I will be showing soon. There are TICA cats shows all over, you should go to one. The cats hated being kicked out of the bedroom after my surgery.

My husband bought me an awesome thermos that keeps stuff hot or cold for 24 hours so I made a batch of hot tea to keep by my bed. Ithink the pain is gas too, how long will this gas last, it feels like it will never go away. I did eat an egg, but all my drainage made it taste gross.

It really depends on each person, but i found that the more i moved around and stretched and so on and took the Gas X it really helped. . I'm going to say that it should be lessening each day and soon be gone, just move more so that it can absorb ok. . . keep drinking and you'll be ok. . . don't let your pee get dark, make sure it stays a clearish color. . . cyberhugs to you! you'll be ok

My allergies kicked in also. I have a sinus drip and it's making me cough too. I was just sleeved 3/12! ooch! I was wondering if I can take any thing to stop this drip. I still am very sensitive to anything new added to my intake.

      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.
