  1. 13 days post op

    · littlebuddy213 · 07/19/2015 18:31

    I've been feeling a little depressed. My son gave me is chest cold. For a person who has COPD, those germs tend to settle in my chest. So for the last week I have been coughing like crazy. Anytime I lay down, the coughing is so much worse. I did some research about some of the symptoms of acid reflux. wheezing, and coughing when laying down. I'm going to try some Zantac tonight before I go to bed.
    Before I had my surgery I prayed that whatever happened I would give God the glory and I would do more volunteer work with my church. When will I have the energy to do that? I'm tired of feeling like crap! I'm tired of not having any energy.

  2. Post Op Day Two

    · littlebuddy213 · 07/08/2015 14:16

    Today is Post Op day 2. I'm still a little sore. I am drinking the Zero Carb Isopure Protein drink. There are 40 grams of protein in each bottle. I can't guzzle, chug or slam it, so I nurse a bottle most of the day. I had planned on drinking two full bottles every day plus the water. Guess what? It didn't happen. I can drink 1 1/2 bottles in a day. I am down 14 pounds from when I first went to the surgical weight loss center. 11 lbs down from when I started my pre-op diet and zero pounds lost since the surgery. The nurses reassured me that is completely normal. They had pumped me so full of liquids, so when I go pee, I go pee!!!
    I still haven't had a BM yet. That has me concerned a little, but it's not a big concern just yet.
    I pray everyone is having an excellent day! Go out and make some good memories!
