Uti

Friends I think I may have a UTI. I have been reading about who you can get them anytime but it most common during the third week and that is where I am at. This is the worst. I constantly feel like I have to pee but I cannot and this is causing me to not be able to sleep. I wont be able to call my doctor till monday. What do you think i should do?

Post-op Days 11-13

Well these past few days have been a little more difficult because I am now feeling hungry. My family is composed of wonderful cooks so of course the meals for Christmas have smelled like heaven. Today my family is having the works - prime rib and all. I CANNOT HAVE ANY OF IT... =[ I cried a little earlier today just because I just want to eat. Lame I know but it just gets so frustrating.   On the positive side - I am down 19 pounds (well i am fluctuating...) and I only have 4 more days until

Post-op Day 10

I cannot believe it has been 10 days since surgery!!!!!! I am doing great! I weighed myself this morning and I am 17 pounds down!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! The only thing that is so funny to me is that I cannot figure out where I am losing weight cause my pants still fit good... I think it might be my face and my fingers. But it has to be somewhere else too because i could not have lost 17 pounds in just those areas! Anyways... I have been out running and around and doing errands before christmas festi

Post-op Day 8 And 9

Yesterday was not a bad day at all. My gas pains are completely gone and I have not felt this good since before surgery. The only thing is that I woke up extremely hungry for the first time in a week. I was so grumpy and rude and had to apologize to those i had come in contact with that day. now looking back its so funny! i stayed home and relaxed most of the day and then went out that night till midnight to watch some friends play soccer. needless to say i was exhausted as soon as i stepped thr

Post-op Day 6 And 7

Well yesterday was a world a difference from days 1-5. I didn't have to take pain medication all day. I felt INCREDIBLE! i did my hair and makeup and went shopping at the mall for a few hours. I still havent felt hungry so this whole liquid diet is not a problem. I am realizing how much I enjoy food though. We have beautiful desserts in the kitchen and im not hungry but i want to eat them. That is probably one of the hardest parts. But at least I get to eat ice cream... but that doesnt compare t

Helping With The Gas Pains

I have been dealing with these gas pains since surgery and even gas-x doesnt seem to be helping so i began to search online.   What i found that seems to be helping me: 1. make sure to drink some "hot" beverages (preferably tea or coffee) 2. rocking back and forth while sitting stirs up the bubbles which makes them move. 3. use a heating pad to transfer heat to the areas that are irritated.   It is ridiculous how well these are working and they are all natural ways! YAY! hope this work

Post-op Day 5

Well yesterday I was saying that I still felt miserable but in the late afternoon I had a huge turn around. I was drinking all the liquids i needed, i had had a bowel movement, my gas had decreased and i found out i could eat ice cream!!!!!!! I began to feel like a million dollars!   So today, I am 5 days out from surgery... again i had surgery on tuesday the 12th. I have been really careful about keeping my binder on because it is a feeling of security but last night for about an hour i took

Post-op Day 4

I got sleeved on Tuesday, December 13th. Right now I may be hitting myself asking myself why I would put myself through so much pain but I know this time next week I will be thrilled I made this decision. As far as pain goes, I am hurting really bad. I am so gasy I feel like someone has straw in my bellybutton and they are just continuously blowing me up. My stomach is "gurgling" louder than anything I have ever heard before. Last night my mom and I were joking about how it sounds like a thunder
