Ramblings from week one

[JodieC 0]

I'm nearing one week post op and feel like a walking zombie today. The dr. said I could have drinkable yougurt today, but I still feel so lethargic. I can start Protein Shakes tomorrow, so I'm hoping that will help. Am I the only one that wonders if this will all be worth it? Fat and happy seems like a good choice right now, but my judgement is questionable at this point. Is anyone else having difficulty sleeping? Ugh. This is quite the debbie downer post. I returned to work today and it was ok. Someone please tell me that this gets better. On a lighter note, I am down 22lbs!

Sounds like the drugs talking.. Its going to take some time.. I was one week out drinking, sleeping and drinking and sleeping.. I promise it will get better. Hey I think all of at one time have been Debbie downers..I guess for the First 3 weeks I was having very weird dreams and couldn't sleep. It will pass I promise you that. Your going to be alright it just takes some time..

it get's better, just keep to it! Your gonna be okay, and your energy should perk up soon as you start taking in some extra healthy calories. Don't forget to walk as soon as you can.

I didn't sleep well until about day 10. My tummy is still tender and I'm 16 days out so it's hard for me to get comfortable. You will feel better once u get some good Protein in you. Get some Soup and blend it up if u r allowed to at this point. Protein Drinks (isopure) and shakes will also help. 22 pounds is fantastic! Good luck!!

Oh Jodie Girl, I feel very similar to you although I don't have 22 lbs to perk me up! That's awesome! Being lethargic is all a part of the reduced calories and m husband keeps pushing me to get in as many calories as I can. He doesn't want my metabolism to slow to a crawl and also he knows it will help my energy levels. Its hard to do with liquids only though isn't it? Also, who wants to keep drinking their food?! The emotional component is what is really setting in I think. I keep having to remind myself that food will be there in two weeks, its not going anywhere! I started going to Starbucks and getting a tall vanilla frapp with a scoop of Protein. It's high in calories but that's okay, I need that right now and it tastes heavenly! I am having some difficulty sleeping too, my stomach gurgles all night. Does yours do that?
