Saw the doc in after hours clinic
Been running a fever and had a sore throat ,sinus infection and still recovering from my oral surgery so I went in to after hours clinic. I felt like death warmed over .. Well I am dehyraded and she gave me some IV fluids and a shot or roceftin(antibiotic) said I had strep throat and sinus infection .. I told her I think I am in starvation mode and despite not able to eat and drink because I have been vomiting due to not able to chew my food very well or the pain meds making me ill and vomit..I am not losing.. and she said nope your body knows it is in stress mode and will hold on to weight tell u feel better and said tell then that is not your primary concern .. I need to get better and with all the stress I put on my body from surgery and oral surgery it was time to focus on healing my body and said I want u to try and gain a few lbs will off set the starvation mode and work on healing my body before I think about losing weight I better think about getting well . she said u r very sick and u need to stop over doing it, My body is not fighting off infection first my port infected then oral surgery .. and getting dry socket all signs that u r not taking good care of my self.. I really thought I was but I must admit I have not taken my vitamins or time out to really chill. I need to stop stressing out so i decided I am gonna do some yoga once my infection heals and really focus on healing not losing .. I think I was going about this the wrong way.. I am in no compititon I am using my band as a tool to eat healthy and 2 years is my goal and 1 lbs a week is perfect even 1/2 lb a week is better than gaining like i have been..So todays goal is stop stressing .. it wil come off when my body decides to. tell then I need to get well eating healty is my goal
humbling moment for me ..

Oh Lisa you definatly need to take some down time and get better. I had strep and sinus infection a few weeks ago and felt like death I can't imagine being sick with both on top of everything else. You definatly need to just stop and rest a few days and let the meds work for you. Once you are feeling better you can start excersizing again and eating. Make sure you get fluids in your body can't heal without proper hydration everything else can wait. (((HUGS)))
Just so tired of the vomiting .. I swear even drinking the protien shakes is making me ill .. going back to clear liquids for a bit and see if that helps .. gonna get some of the isopure see if i can stomach that.. I got to get something in my stomach I know it is because of the meds making me ill .. I am sooooooooooo hungry but yet scared to eat anything.. a endless battle ..
I threw up the protien shake this am ugh...
Any sugestion when the shakes r making u ill? Doc was not very helpful just said keep trying to get something down u
It is such a battle .. Upheal getting well I can only imagine what u r going threw allie ... I just have a infection can't chew(I know I am such a baby)and not to mention biting my check Ouch hate that and espogeal spasm to contend with nothing I won't get get over in time .well maybe not the esphogeal spasm that is very common problem among lap banders . unless the vomiting won't stop .. LOL I think pain meds r evil and mess up your body .. LOL
I guess moral of the story here don't take your heath for granted ..
hugs allie
