Ohhhh...that's why I feel like crap!



Recommended Posts

So I got all busy this morning and got out of my routine. I left the house without taking my daily meds.:mellow: Considering that 6 of the 9 pills I take everyday are for blood pressure, it's no wonder that I nearly puffed myself to death walking to my car at the end of the workday.

You just wait until the 28th! My band and I are going to kick ass and be able to chuck those damned pills by Valentine's Day. That's my revenge. So there! :)

I took those suckers as soon as I got home 'cause I felt so badly. Well, ok, I didn't take the diuretic since I didn't want to be running the potty relay.

When my blood pressure gets all hinky like that, it makes me soooooo tired. I hit the sheets by 9.

My doc said that I'd only need to break one of my pills in half. Reading one of the other threads I see that folks generally have no trouble swallowing most reasonably sized pills and just cut the huge ones into halves or quarters. I'll be right alongside your dad with the yummy "medication meal"...but me and my band are gonna take care of that...

      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.
