Recommended Posts

Going on a week and half of this, I don't know, bronchitis junk, constant coughing, blowing my nose, fever etc. Anyway, I can hardly eat, it's making my band tight with all the drainage going on, I'm having to resort to soft, mushy, Soups type of foods as if I've had a fill. Have been to the dr and have gotten an antibiotic and precrip cough med but its not helping. Eating tonight, got stuck, threw up, ended up drinking some hot tea. Guess it will be chicken Soup tomorrow-twice! sigh. And it is supposed to be so nice here in Western Ky and I so want to get outside and walk but just not up to it, no energy. Dang it!!!!

Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather.....I was banded two days ago and came home with this crap that sounds like what you have. I remember reading a post on here who said she went in sick or getting sick and it made her recovery worse. Well, I had a little cough but not anything to worry about or so I thought and now I am miserable trying to cough with my new stomach art work...LOL. But it will pass.....I hope you are better soon too. Take care.

I hope you feel better soon! I had that junk about 3 weeks before surgery. I was so scared that I'd have to put off my surgery because of the cough. Luckily, it went away before surgery, but I hadn't been that sick in a long time.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
