I hope you are back to normal come Monday, Leatha. It sounds like you have been totally miserable. Hope the switch in medications goes well, too.

Thanks Rebecca! Thanks everyone for putting up with my sniveling. This has been an awful week. I haven't been so sick in a long time. Today, I can breathe easy, my fever seems to have disappeared, there are some lingering sorta transient aches in my ears, so I suspect the sinuses are not totally clear, but I'm on my way to recovery. It's funny how all things hit at once.

I had spent last week in St Louis with a co-worker who I know had been sick for the week before AND the week we were there. I'm sure she passed it along to me and goodness knows how many clients. YIKES. I flew home on Friday, went out Saturday night, had company Sunday evening and by bedtime Sunday night I was burning up with fever and had lost my voice all within an hour. Unfortunately, I had an appointment already made for the next day to work on this med change, so I couldn't hardly postpone it. So here I am with this great big ball of wax to hopefully get all straightened out. This is how I work, no pressure unless I can get ALL the pressure at one time, that way I can just be superwoman for short periods only.lol. :(

Thanks for all your support and suggestions. Special thanks to Marie for pming me home remedies which helped me on my worst night. :P

Yes Paula. I'm still sitting on 181.2. :( I need exercise!

Yea, the problem, Michelle is the coumadin. I really have to be careful adding or taking away from the meds I take on a routine basis. :P It sucks, especially if you become ill enough to need some relief.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
