Struggling with diet & energy! !

[jfergirl 1]

I was sleeved on 4/12/16. I am back to work, and really struggling with the diet. I prepare my food for the day, and proportion it. But staying on a schedule is hard when your very busy. Trying to eat and drink with that 30 minute rule. Also, has anyone ever heard of your suture popping? My surgeon told me that the biggest incision has a suture inside, and it will eventually pop. Well I still have abdominal pain there so much that I am unable to do alot of things. Still can't power walk or workout. Hurts to twist or strain?

Did you ask at your f/u appointment about the pain?

it's such a challenge isn't it? sometimes we are not really allowed the am and pm break we are supposed to have. I just find a quiet minute for my snack, or I TAKE one. not really supposed to have my drink at the front desk, but I stick it behind my monitor. If I am out there, I try to plan a snack that I can put in my cardigan pocket and not just skip it. Now that I can drink more at a time getting in my fluids is much easier, and I am up to 80-100 ounces a day. I say this hoping it will encourage you that it will get easier.

we're learning a *new* way to live and it is just going to take some figuring out!

I wasn't cleared for more than walking until my 1 month follow up, and I kind of remember that pulling pain - so I think you are probably in normal range for that, but if you are concerned please follow up with your team.

Thank you so much. That makes me feel better about things

Yes, and they just tell me that sometimes it takes a few weeks for that to heal. Trying to be patient!
