Didnt mean to be rude

If you'll read other people's posts, you'll see she had major complications that most people don't have. Iggy Chic has been through so much! All of us on here are here for the same reason-for support & encouragement. I try to make sure that's what all my posts do.

Thurs 8/30: Sugery in Mexico (horrible night felt like I was going to die, threw up blood for hours after surgery)

Fri 8/31: Rested all day @ the Hotel Ticuan; walked around to get out the gas

Sat 9/1: Woke up feeling 100% better, up and out shopping, walking and getting my nails done in the streets of TJ

Sun 9/2: Taken back to San Diego, went to church, beach, & rented a car to drive to LA to visit family

Mon 9/3 (Labor Day): Flew back home to KS (car broke down in the HOT HOT heat had to walk to a gas station) Cleaned up the house and did all my laundry from the trip.

Tues 9/4: Went back to work, drove myself, no problems

Still tired and weak from lack of food/water...I'm trying to do better but I work 60 hrs a week and have 5 kids so forgetting to eat and drink some days.

Day58? Seriously? Are you just lazy?

Please remember to express your opinions and be respectful to others.

Thanks.

That was not nice. Jaggy chic has gone through more than most of us here.

I love it.... You not only embrace the fact that you are lazy (hehe) but you have a good spirit! Seriously....glad to see that all is going well. I am still afraid that complications will arise but laughter and the inspiration on this site is proof that we can get through anything. Sleeved on 10/26 and going to Vitamin Shoppe today. The biggest concern I have....none....it's cold out and I would rather sit here and watch TV under my blanket.

wtf? Shut up. Everyone heals and feels differently. No one should be made to feel guilty for taking longer than others.

I wasn't allowed to drive for two weeks. Day 8 my daughter took me to the mall, huge mistake. Igot weak lightheaded and almost passed out. And that was only 15 minutes after we got there! By day 14 I was able to get around much better but still had rough spots. Take it easy and have someone with you

I was sleeved on the 11th and drove on the 13th. I was allowed as long as I wasn't taking pain meds, and I wasn't. Didn't take any at all.

      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?

      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.
