day 5 and feeling HORRIBLE

[teachergirl 0]

I am writing to really whine, i guess. So far I have felt fine, but today has been a completely different story! I am achy, my stomach hurts, and I know that I have been doing too much! I woke up with the runs (sorry, didn't know how to spell the correct word), and have absolutely no appitite. Anyone else going through this? My thighs ache!! It is absolutely rediculous!!!:huh2:

Listen, Don't Get Discouraged!! You are way ahead of me. I probably won't get banded until June/July at the earliest! My friend did it last June and had already lost about 80lbs and looks great! Keep your eye on the goal, not the little bumps in the road! :~) Call your MD and talk to someone who can suggest ways to solve the problems you are feeling. They are there to help-you're not supposed to be able to deal with all these new things on your own! Maybe your fluid/electrolyte balance is off from dehydration? That can cause muscle aches and cramps...call the doctor for professional advice. Hang in there!

YOu could just have a stomach virus..i know a lot of people get sick after surgery b/c your body is trying to get used to the band and at first it wants to reject it b/c it's a forein object inside you so your amune system go's down and you get sick. So just take it easy get plenty of Water and try crackers chew them up really really good and you will be fine. Get sleep as much as you can!

Hope you feel better soon!
