Weak

[chrissy1266 0]

I had the surgery June 9th all I can eat is italian ice I have tryed squishy food but it feels like Freddy cruger put his hands in my chest. I'm weak all day and my bm is runny and green. I feel like I'm doing something wrong? I also have bipolar disorder and some of my meds I can't crush. I quit smoking and I smoked 40 years it's like I gave up everything the day I had the surgery. I'm not saying it's a bad thing I haven't felt this good as far as being able to breath I can't stand the way ciggs smell anymore my friends that smoke stink to me it's hard to be around them. It's like I have a new nose I smell everything and before I smelled nothing. I need to know my eating am I ok? And is anyone else having these bad pains when they try to eat something other then super free popsicles and Water?

Are you drinking Protein Shakes? What stage are you on?

[Christinamo7 4,041]

did you have a one week check up with your doctor? most plans would have you on Protein shakes by now, and yes I did have twinges of pain with almost everything I ate or drank in the beginning - but I knew I needed to nourish my body anyway.

please check in with your doctor and let us know what they advise. Furthermore, tell them you are not taking all of your medications and see what they tell you. by that point I was able to take all of my regular medications.

How are you getting your Protein? Are you able to get at least 64 oz of Fluid (edited because I meant fluid and not protein) and meet your protein goal? What does your surgeon say? This is something you definitely need to address with your bariatric team. I wouldn't even wait for your next appointment. Call them now.

I called the Dr. And he's on vacation and his staff told me to do what my paper says. I'm doing it. I brought grape juice and diet frozen yogurt in I tryed cream of wheat put its to painfully. I can only drink broth and all Water substance. I'm suppose to be on faze 3 I'm still on faze1. He said he would take it slow with me. I feel like there is something wrong. I'm going to be 50 in Dec 8th I wanted to look good for my kids. I'm tired of being the mom that can't get anywhere. Plus I think my bipolar depression is getting to me. I need a buddy if someone will have me????

Chrissy1266, I had RNY on June 8. I also feel weak but I expected that. After all, it was major surgery and it takes some time to recoup.

I started Protein shakes the day I left the hospital and have progressed to soft foods. The key for me is to eat very, very small portions (4 Tbs max) and to eat slowly and chew very well.

The biggest challenges so far have been Fluid retention, fatigue, and staying hydrated. It takes all day to take in the required liquids but I find that if I don't my glucose levels spike and the fatigue is worse.

I understand your desire to look good by your birthday. December is 6 months away and I imagine we'll be going thru a lot of changes by then!

As for buddies to support you, this is a very supportive group so you'll have lots of buddies here!
