Don't Feel Good....



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had no choice but to take a car ride. I had a driver take my son and I to an important appointment.

I thought no problem I will go along.

Well today I feel like I have taken 2 steps backwards!

I was feeling well walking every other hour for 15 min.

NOT TODAY!

All the bumps and the seat belt and riding around made me feel like I was hit by a truck!

Even my lungs aren't inhaling as well as they were.

I am so sad that I went backwards...

I hope you feel better soon. Try using pillows when riding in a car until your tummy heal.

The dr. Office didn't seem concerned they said I am still healing so any little car ride will feel like a set back. I told them the numbers on the little lung strengthener they gave me and my numbers only went down a little bit from yesterday. She said it is not drastic enough to be concerned. She said take it easy and don't worry I didn't damage anything.

Your right.... better safe than sorry!

My surgery was Tuesday, oct 23. I had two days of nausea and still dealing with mild to moderate pain, but actually feeling good overall! Today I've been sneezing a lot, which is very painful! I'm using this abdominal binder I got at the hospital, and that is helping, too.

Sneezing not allowed!

That hurts like hell I'm sure! I got a case of the hiccups this morning and it brought tears to my eyes! After the 7th or 8th one they finally went away. My Dr.'s office gave me a bear... I was squeezing him like crazy and my son named him boo since he helped with the hiccups! LoL kids.

      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.
