Hang in there......the weight does start to fall off (X-Post)

[donali 57]

I'm discouraged because I've had a nagging headache for more than a week now. I'm discouraged because I cannot seem to get much more than 800 calories a day

Can you have full liquids yet? Can you add some fruit/peanut butter and blend well with your Protein shakes? Is there some other possibility for your headaches besides low caloric intake - caffeine withdrawal, nicotine withdrawal, school stress?

The hair loss thing is normal and will stop.

I can't give any advice on the fibromalgyia, as thank goodness I've never had to deal with that, but be good to yourself. If liquid Tylenol helps with the pain and you can tolerate that I recommend it - it really helped with my pain when I tore my port sutures.

I understand that reasoning with emotions - I would also like to remind you that it is very common and perfectly normal to feel some depression after an episode of anesthesia. So even if you feel like crap, you're normal!! Believe it or not... lol
