A Little Weak Kitten Today

By sandradee0124

· 394 views

Started feeling a little woozy last night. I have been on meal replacement shakes and liquids since Sunday night (Monday fill). And the Slim Fast is not really working well so I haven't gotten in 60 gms of protein for several days.

 

Cut down on exercise -- only worked out Tuesday morning. None on Monday or Wednesday. But I'm dizzy and weak and I know its from not getting enough energy intake.

 

Staying home from work today and will drink at least 80 oz of fluids. Made some egg beaters and managed to eat about 1/2 of the serving so I'll just lay low today and get some work done from home and rest.

 

I remember my dad saying when I was a little girl that he felt as weak as a kitten when he was sick. Yep!

 

Take care everybody, and have a good day ;)

    Feel better! Amazing how all doctors are different. I had fill yesterday and they want me on soft solids by tonight. Only liquid was lunch yesterday, then soft for dinner and breakfast. We shall see how it goes!!

    Sandy make sure you get some broth as well. Sounds like your dr may be like mine. I was telling 2excited that mine required clear liquids for 2 days, protein shakes for 2 days, mushies for 2 days and then solids. He feels that your band swells after each and every fill so it takes time to recoup and adjust to the new fill level. I know I have a lot of chicken bullion during that time..plus it will make your thirsty so you get your fluids in. Also, sometimes you just need a day to recharge...I am having one of those days today! Take care of yourself!!

    Aw...I do hope you feel better soon!

    I got a teensy tiny fill yesterday, but I'm still just doing liquids. Jazzercise is going to be super tough tonight, but I should be thankful that I at least have SOME energy!

    Thanks everybody, for the support! I'm thinking I just needed a break from everything today -- work, commuting, drama, politics, working out. I have a very laid back day and feel ready to jump back into it all tomorrow :-)
