Cami1908 30 Posted October 2, 2013 How are all my tidewater people doing?? I'm about to be 4 months out and still feel like I can't eat a lot. I can't eat a whole plate of food. But I can snack on goldfish. So I have to tell myself "if u can eat goldfish then u can eat this chicken!" I ate oatmeal for the first time tonight. Unflavored Unjury is my Protein savior right now!!! Surgery: 6/5/2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started out at 290/a size 22-24 (which was probably tighter than it should be. LOL) I'll be four months out on Saturday and I'm an 18 almost a 16 and 220. So I have a ways to go before I get anywhere near u. My problem is working out. I have been horrible about it...a day here a day there. But few and far between. I need to get on it. I really have a fear that I'm going to pass out bc I'm not drinking enough and I know my hydration is deficient. How r u with working out?

Cami1908 30 Posted October 2, 2013 I'm in Norfolk and im 3 weeks out and feeling crappy. I always have a slight nausea feeling so I never want to eat but I force myself. Having a really hard time getting my Protein in. Hang in there. It gets better. I am a true witness!!!! I didn't begin to feel "normal" until about month 2. Each day is better, then you have a not so good day, then it continues to get better...but by about month 2 I was no longer feeling "blah". And once I went back to work and was able to get in the three meals I was supposed to since I was back on a routine I felt even BETTER!!! Just take it one day at at time, don't rush it and let your recovery be your recovery. Don't compare yourself to others - which is very easy to do on this site. LOL. Once I let go of determining "where I should be by this time in recovery" to others I did a lot better. Good luck with things. I will tell you I am sooo blessed and happy to have been able to have this surgery. It has made such a difference in the quality fo my life I can't believe it.

LilBoo007 491 Posted October 19, 2013 Sorry it took soo long for me to reply, I have been having issues with my brain disorder lately and so I haven't felt like taking a pic... But I finally pulled myself somewhat together to take a pic! As far as working out, I try to work out every day except weekends but can't do it when my Migraines are acting up and I don't beat myself up about it, I just say maybe I will be able to go tomorrow or the next day!
