I'm feeling crappy since I ate salmon last night. I had to take papaya enzymes. Today my pouch just doesn't feel normal. Don't know what's going on but I'm not liking it.

Got a clean bill of health from my GYN Oncologist. No need for radiation or chemo. Cancer is gone. Although I have what might be a severe UTI or Bladder infection. Hurts to walk' date=' to sit, to pee, oh heck it hurts to do anything. Did a pee test and results will be in Thursday. Dr started me on the antibiotic for it now though. I get so weak with very little exertion. Run temperatures, just woke up freezing w a 101.3 temp. Ugh. Please let the antibiotics due the job!!!

Also he asked me are you sure this was more painful that the RNY. I said "Oh hell yeah." I guess he thought it wouldn't be. I said with RNY I was up and about right away. This one has beaten me up.

I have bronchitis, strep, UTI, and fever. Nebulizer treatments, broad-spectrum antibiotic. So hard to stay hydrated. Chewing on ice for throat, warm tea and the ice Water that melts. Unfortunately, Protein burns my throat so haven't gotten the required amount since Monday. Notice my hair is thinning and many strands on the brush and bath towels starting over last weekend. Since I was coming down sick I didn't even feel well enough to care, it is what it is.

I have a UTI as well looks like it could be a side effect for alot of us, probably from catheter. I was doing really good wasnt even having to use a poise pad. Now i can barely get to bathroom in time.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm having difficulty getting protein and fluids in :-( too since this last surgery. Do you take Biotin? I take 10,000mcg. I sure do hope that will help me out. Popsicles might help your throat too? I had a couple tonight only cuz of my fever. I was given 500 mg of Ciproflaxn for the UTI. My dad won't let me drive cuz yesterday I drove 20minutes from home and was falling asleep at the wheel. I had to call dad to keep me awake. So needless to say I'm extremely weak and tired a lot.

For all of us not feeling well, here's to getting better ASAP. Also to help prevent UTIs you could take a cranberry supplement that way you don't get all the sugar by drinking the juice. I started mine back up today.

I'm sorry to hear that :-( Get well soon. I know mine is from the last surgery. The catheter wasn't place properly and caused lots of pain. The tried resetting it 3 times but couldn't. Entire time it was in it was uncomfortable and hurt :-(

Oh and this is freaking me out...I had an entire can of Campbell's healthy request chicken corn chowder. It was so yummy. I ate 1/2 and ran around for about an hour then warmed up and ate the other half. Kinda scared me. We aren't supposed to be able to eat that much are we? I have pms like crazy and just wanna eat! Guess the surgery isn't gonna fix that! :(

I think if it's Soup it "slides". So you may not feel as full. PMS sucks! I used to love chocolate and salty chips.< /p>

I agree w the soup due to so much liquids being in it, I think that would be the best thing to eat if you're eating a larger quantity. Especially since you had a break.

Yeah. I was thinking that. It just kind of panicked me. I've always been one that has two bites and is full. I am able to eat more now which is scary in itself, plus eating all that Soup was like "whoa"! Lol. How much are you guys up to eating at a time? I'm supposed to be at 1/2 cup per meal.

      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.
