Day 3 Preop Diet

By belld

· 240 views

Today started well. I increased my shakes to 3. I still feel listless and I have a headache. I tried cleaning some of my house today....I made it through the bathrooms and had to quit. I went for a ride with my husband to try to take my mind off my stomach and my head. I just didn't feel well. I had cold sweats off and on. Bless my husband . He is trying so hard to make this process easier. He even let me go to Harrah's and lose some money...which I did.

All in all the day was slightly better. There was not as much nausea. Another problem I have to solve is my medication. If I don't take this med every day I have terrible withdrawal but if I take it without food, the side effects are worse. I am afraid I had to take some drastic :mad:(although not too damaging) measures to get it done. We shall see. I lost 1 pound. :unsure:

    Keep going, as you said each day gets slightly better.

    What did your surgeon say about your medication? They have had experience with this, they might have some good ideas.

    Hugs to your hubby for helping. Try little walks. Of course if you went to Harrah's you probably took a walk of some kind, but keep that up. It seems to really help! And next time you go, lose some for me so I don't have to lose next time? LOL.

    Rest. Honestly that was 8 weeks ago for me and I've forgotten the pain (ok most of it!).

    It gets better...I think around day 4 my headache went away, but I was still alittle grumpy.

    I had food withdrawal and I sometimes feel I do now and I have been at this a long time. Take the meds that is important however you have to take them. Keep blogging it really does help how you feel. The beginning is a hard place to be I can assure after a year all will be so much better. Best wishes imaluckydog
