Dropping stuff



Recommended Posts

Is it me, or did they forget to mention "dropping stuff" on the list of side effects with band/port surgery?

Has anyone noticed the need for bending over to pick up dropped stuff has increased tenfold since surgery? Where is that Murphy?

I don't think it goes away - I just think we stop noticing how much we bend over when it doesn't feel like it's going to kill us... lol :)

I'm impressed how quickly our bodies adapt because I can now pick up a toothpick with my toes without even looking.

Is that a big feet joke? Speaking of toes, Babs gave me a 2 hour pedicure yesterday, just to be nice. Can you believe that woman?

Now I have to post a picture of my toes, sheesh, so much to do, such little time!

Lucky Devil! A two hour pedicure!!!! Sweet. I wish I could get my hubby to do something so nice. I just got a professional pedicure last week but boy I would love another. They forgot to really sand at my callouses. Hope you are doing better lisa. I know after my surgery it seemed I dropped everything all the time. UGh! Well best wishes, Teresa

Lisa: I drop things deliberately just to see how easy it is now to pick things up. LOL!!!

Poor baby has the dropsy. I don't have the heart either Donali.

Penni, you show off! I've had infected, bleeding, oozing, deformed, protruding, hurting, tearing port issues for so long that I'll probably be driving with my feet if it doesn't heal soon.

      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.
