I just feel so weak! I finally left the house today my BF took me to walmart.. need to buy stuff for vacation.. we are leaving tomorrow to FLorida and Georgia for 1 1/2 weeks.

I just feel soo tired and sleepy. I usually would walk faster then BF i'm was trailing him.. it was weird. I am having problems takingin Water due to my sour mouth.

I over did it with Soup broth yesterday day.. mushed up the potato it was a Fine mush but over did it. Had to take nausea medicine doc gave me. Just had the broth of a chicken noodle soup.. feel it in my chest still..

Thing is it states I can start mushies starting monday.. mashpotatoes, grits, malt o meal, cream of wheat, is this too early? I"m just worried with vacation and all!

Protein shakes dont know what to buy.. i'm just so pickey with allt hat stuff.. the artificial sugars give me nausea (aspertane) did this even before surgery.

BF says i feel weak because i haven't had anything to eat.. what your opinion what should i do???

i'm just rambling soo.. bye!

Hey there! I can completely relate to where you are coming from. I was banded here in San Antonio on 7/9/09. Earlier in the summer I scheduled a trip with some girlfriends to Tampa, FL. We were set to leave on 7/21/09. I confirmed with my surgeon that if I felt ok, it was alright for me to travel. Before the surgery I firgured I should be ok because I would be close to two weeks out from surgery when we left. Boy was I wrong! I didn't factor in how weak and tired I would be during the recovery and liquid diet. I ended up canceling my trip because I didn't want to go all that way and not have a good time. I would have had so many restrictions, not being able to lift my luggage, not being able to get in the pool/water a the beach, etc...etc... At first I was bummed about missing my trip, but I had to consider my health first. I am glad I decided to stay home and rest. If you decide to go, take it easy! Remember that you just went through a major surgery and it will take time to heal. Wishing you all the best!

thanks! I will take it easy. Went to doctors on thursday and BF wanted to cancel trip and talked to doctor.. Dr. looked at him like why would traveling affect her? Is she driving? LOl it was funny how the dr. looked at him.

My BF is very cautious and he is taking good care of me. BELIEVE ME I"M GONNA MILK IT! Let him do all the work! LOL
