Sick and tight!



Recommended Posts

:wacko:I am sick with a nasty cold. I have been a little on the too tight side for just over 2months now. I am unable to get an unfill at the moment because of money issues. Yesterday, bam it totally hit me outta nowhere, I am sooooo tight I can actually feel the band. I can still get fluids down, I feel them going thru, but not much else. I guess alot of it has to do with the mucus that is draining into my stomach as well. Ugggg. This is not easy. Everyone pray for me that this will pass with a quickness, please!!:cry

Have you tried seeing if the doctor's office work out some kind of payment plan so that you can get a partial unfill?

This is your health...I hate to see you suffering.

Just a thought. I know many places just want their money upfront.

I hope you feel better

Yeah, the place I use for fills is money upfront only. SUCKS!!! Thanks for the best wishes though! Ugg sometimes I wish I was a my husband. And he was the wife. You know cuz us wives try and take on all the responsibility. He by the way is sick also, so is my little one. So it all falls on me to do the care taking. All of that on top of not being able to get in any adequate protien or calories, I am really running on empty!!

Hope you feel better soon. I have had a cold/sinus stuff going off/on for like past three weeks. I'll feel better, stop meds and then it comes back. When it is really bothering me and draining, I have extra restriction and can only get down liquids. Not even yogurt would work. Needless to day I had a crummy holiday. I had never heard of a connection with cold/sinus stuff and increased restriction but you and I are living proof of it. Once my cold subsided, it got better and I could eat solids. my problem was that I had never experienced restriction to that degree before and couldn't believe it. So I would try different foods that i can usually tolerate, they would come back up which caused more agitation and swelling. What are you taking for your cold?

Taking Niquil and dayquil. Got a terrible cough only at night when I am trying to sleep so I went and got some robitussan max cough. Hopefully it works tonite. If not, I am going to the doc tomarrow and demanding some cough Syrup. I can't run on no sleep and no food. Hopefully the robitussan will work, but if not codine cough syrup here I come!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
