Thamm

Day. 8 postop and I am really struggling!! 1st I can not drink them damn protein shakes and all day I feel like I'm nauseated. I keep getting thick spit in my mouth (sorry) and I want to eat real damn food!!!!! I can not lie I'm not hunger but I see my family eating and I want subway, Mexican, and fried chicken!! I have been cursing myself all day saying... What the hell was I thinking!!! I don't know if I can do this and I haven't had a fill yet!! I don't want no more Gatorade that takes 2 days to drink one bottle and I really want a beer and the thought of not ever having one is making me even more irritated!!! I am so over this and don't care if I be fat forever!!! Not in a good mood at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This happened to me yesterday... In the mall and I got sweaty, flushed, blurred vision and I realized I has only had a 1/2 cup of smoothie that am and a protein shake. I feel like my blood sugar dropped. I ate 1/2 container of yogurt and felt better but was so sluggish and tired after. My dr says it's important to drink g2 Gatorade and stay hydrated.

Thanx for the tip!!

7 day post op... 14 pounds!! So excited!! I am having a hard time with drinking the protein shake. It feels as if I have ate a buffet of food. It just fills me up to fast but I can drink smoothies??? Also today I had a scare incident at the mall. I got shaky, sweaty, vision blurred.. Realized my blood sugar had dropped and have not had enough too eat! And I'm a nurse!! I have to realize I have to eat and drink but it is so hard.

If y'all have a group of create a group please let mr know so I can join. Thanx in advance

Sorry to hear that.... Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers

Good luck and wish u a speedy recovery )

Today hasnt been bad. I am still having shoulder paint husband brought me some icy hot strips and they work wonders!! No pain meds today!!! As of yet.. And I been walking through the house non stop! Gas is moving but no bm ( tmi sorry) dr says I need to drink g2 for strength but I take two swallows and feel like I have drank a gallon! No desire to eat food and no appetite at all and the smell of food is really causing me nausea. The last two days I woke I didn't think about food or what to eat for breakfast. My mind was on being healthy and going back to work Monday. I love my dr who did my lapband! Dr bagnoto from albany Georgia

Thanx for the advice... Doing windmills now

Still feeling groggy but overall pain Is a 5 but I am holding out on taking meds because they make me so sleepy!! But funny thing is my shoulder burns and hurts like hell!!! What is that about??? Hopefully will be back to work on Monday.

Good luck with your surgery!! Praying for a speedy recovery! U will do great

Thank u and I will keep u posted! My husband said the same thing get some rest so off to bed I go.... Goodnite!!!

All I can say is I'm glad it's over!!! But now the really work begins. Sore but not in real pain rate it a 3 on pain scale. Please keep up the schedule with your pain meds! I had the beat doctor ever ( dr bagnato from Albany, ga) his staff was wonderful and he made sure I was comfortable. The actually surgery was 45 minutes. I arrived at 8 and was home by 3!! I have to share a secret.. I ask could I have Valium before the procedure and it was a lifesaver. I was so anxious last nite and it helped me get a good night rest and this am I was well rested and calm. My only complaint was I am a hard stick and I was stuck 11 times before I got a IV but also I had took a Valium this am and I was ready for the world!! Just trying to get comfy for tonite but I believe this was one of the best choices I ever made!!
