Well this is the second time in two weeks that I put a rib out. I have been busy spring cleaning the house and getting rid of the junk. I have not done this kind of activity for 8 years.

Now I am told that I am doing too much and my muscles and other body parts are taking exception to it. Say what! I finally get to a point where I can actually clean my own house, cook, do laundry and they are trying to slow me down.

Your not healthy enough or strong enough to do all of this. You are still weak and healing from the traumatic time in the hospital. It is going to take time for you to be strong enough to do all the things you want to. To build your body back up. To even build muscle mass....

I am getting really tired of my body conking out when I do regular things. How much longer will it take before I can be free finally to do what I need to, and do what I want to, and do what I want to try next....

Is this ever getting on my nerves...... :unsure:

Sending hugs, RJ. Are you in a position to work out with a personal trainer to improve strength? I did that for a couple of months and it helped a lot. She was very sensitive to my limitations. Now I can even help my 90 lb old dog get on the bed, which I couldn't do before.

I have a trainer. He comes twice a week right now. He is one of the ones that are telling me I am moving to fast and not letting my body heal enough.... :(

      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.
