11 Days; and I TURNED the corner!

Hey all...

For those of you who have read my b*tching and complaining...well - it's over (hopefully for good). Yesterday I hit rock bottom, and there was no where to go but up. Seemed that 11 a.m. yesterday I just said "Self, we're going to get well". I forced Water down, cottage cheese, boullion - MADE myself sip sip sip sip for hours. Not one pain pill. I swear it was the gas pain in the back that was really doing a number on me. Anyway, last night I felt like 'me'...just different.

Woke up this a.m., thought I was ok. Went for my a.m. glass of apple juice, had the Protein shake - then WHOA! Didn't feel too good. Didn't drink for a few hours, as the 'pain the back' returned. Realized that I must be very restricted in the a.m., and I have to be careful. I was actually able to go out and about today! Mom brought me to CVS, where I dropped a ton of $ on 'stuff'...out of boredom at home all this time.

Anyway, I hope that I continue to improve and feel better. Thanks to all who have given me such great advice. You're right; it did get better!:clap2:

Yipee - I knew you'd get through the worst of this soon.

Glad you are feeling better. I've been following your story. I guess some of us take a little bit longer to feel good. Hope you continue on the road to recovery. Good job sticking with it.

I'm glad that you are feeling better! When you can eat, later on in the day...do so. Keep your nutrition up. For me, at 17 months out, when I get hungry my right shoulder hurts like gas pains. My sensations of hunger are quite different than pre-banding.

Keep on sipping, drinking your shakes, and on the road to recovery...

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Yay!

I certainly felt your frustration, as I was in more pain for quite a time too. I remember thinking, what the heck is wrong with me? Everyone else was recovering, exercising, going to the mall after 3 days? It took me 10 days!

I guess the saying "everyone is different" is so true!

I'm so glad your back!
