So sorry your having a rough day i also came to vent lol im having a very rough day too how far post op are you ....i am not supposed to eat refried Beans but i did last night with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese and some salsa and it went down so much better than pureed chicken and tuna and tasted so good ...also do you gave medicine to help with the nausea i take zofran if i start to feel sick and it helps right away

Monday will be 3 weeks. I am on mashable food. Nothing sounds good. Nothing smells good. I have zofran.

My oldest daughter goes to nursing school and works and is married my 20 year is a manager at hertz car rental and puts in 60 hours a week or i would ask them. I have 3 step kids. One is married is going to help me clean.

Im frustrated because 2 weeks ago i had my insides rearranged and cant bend over it hurts and silly kids i dont look sick so i must be ok.

Ok done now. Pitty party over. I will rest and what gets done gets done.

My youngest thinks its bs that i have her load and unload the dishwasher but when she wants me to write her a check she thinks I'm denying her when i refuse. I don't ask for too much. My husband works 15 days straight and his days are long so i only ask him to take the trash out. I can't wait to be released because if i don't do it no one will.

I tell my kids that food shelter and electricity is their payment. They know if they want something they need to help me do something.

Does anyone else feel like they are losing too quickly? I am down almost 35 pounds in 17 days. I know rapid weight loss can lead to gallbladder issues. Should I be worried?

Geez, glad to know I am not the only one that feels like crap today. Eating okay but just not feeling well. I haven't had the energy or motivation to clean or shop or anything. I feel like I need to go spend time on a beach with a cool breeze and remember why I am working so hard to have a longer life, so that I can enjoy it. Gotta get outta this funk but how???

Seen my regular Dr. Wednesday for a check up and gained a pound!!!...Plus, blood work came back and the nurse called me today and said I was low in Vitamin D. So I have to start taking 2000 units. Maybe that's why I have not felt very good lately?

I cant keep anything down I feel really sick my tummy hurts bad and doctor cant get me in till monday my head is killing me I was fine a week ago but now everytime I stand up I feel dizzy

Went to an appointment with my pcp today. I have purposely not been weighing in at home because I don't want to know when I hit a stall or have an off day... The scale causes too much stress. So I was really excited when I had to weigh in at the doctor today and I was down 24 pounds since surgery... Which was 24 days ago. Yay me!

Hope things start to look up for everyone that posted today about having a rough day and hard times. We can do this.

Also to answer the post about rapid weight loss and gallbladder issues. You are correct it can cause gallstones in some people. My doctor prescribed me a medicine that I take twice a day to prevent them just as a precaution. He said I am on them for the first 6 months after surgery because that it when the most rapid weight loss takes place.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. Let there be sunshine!
