Are you getting in enough liquids? You could be dehydrated. It will also make you tired or weak.

I am trying to get in as much as possible. I am having a hard time figuring out if i am thirsty or full. I drink 2 maybe 3 bottles of Water a day. I was hospitalized 4 days ago for dehydration. I am trying so hard to get it all down.

Try to sip, sip, sip, sip all day long. My surgeon requires me to get minimum 64 oz. of Water daily... its hard at first I know but you can work up to it. When you are dehydrated you feel awful I know !!! My main goal right after surgery was getting my water and Protein in.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
