Topic: RE: Not feelin good
I just posted a message to your in-box. I have been doing good about getting in all my pills. My Dr said I would be fine to crush and consume. I start my first round at 6 am and have them with the Kroger brand yogurt I found that has 12 grams of protein (carbmaster). I find that I am able to take them down with my soft foods. Are you taking Pepcid AC twice a day? That's what my doc prescribed before I left the hospital. The first night home, I had a ton of gas and felt just awful, but by midnight, I was feeling sooooo much better after I was able to expel some of that gas. I still have not had a BM, but I feel great. When I woke up Wednesday, my check out date, I was nauseous so the Dr prescribed Prochlorper 10mg for the nausea, thank goodness I haven't had to use them since I've been home.
Well, Monday (tomorrow) will be a full week since surgery and I plan on hitting the gym and getting on the treadmill and maybe the bike if all goes well.
Hope you feel better soon and hope the suggestions help.

Topic: Not feelin good
Tomorrow will be one week that I had surgery. The last couple of days have sucked. I just don't feel good and have spent a GREAT deal of time in the bed.
A little bit of nausea here and there. I know I am not doing right by hiding in my bed. I need to snap out of this. Oh and my vitamins. I haven't hunkered down and started on them. I tried today, but those chewables make me gag - just the thought of them. My surgeon says chewables for the first 12 weeks. I am calling tomorrow to see if I can do pills. He told me in the hospital that I CAN take my Effexor XR capsule. So I am betting he'll tell me I can do vitamin tablets. I EVEN ordered from Celebrate - they were expensive. But I can't stand them - the texture - that vitamin taste.
I know..wah wah. I sound like a baby. And I am not doing well getting all my fluids in. Crap. Tomorrow I must embrace the new day that get serious. But it still hurts when I burp!! My left side is killing me. I want to feel normal again. (I know I know - it's only been a week) But damn. I see people seeing how good they feel and I wonder what the heck is wrong with me. I am not having any buyer's remorse at all - I know this will get better - but til it does I want to hide my head in the sand,.....

My surgery is tomorrow. Earlier in the week I was pretty freaked out, I was battling a cold and then thrush and it just seemed overwhelming. It is a big deal!! Now that my day has (almost) come I feel great, ready to roll and at peace with what comes. You will be fine, just keep the big picture in mind, you are doing this for a reason.
Hugs,
Tami

My surgery is the day before yours. I know exactly how you are feeling. Friday and Saturday I was pretty weepy, today I am like, WOW this is really going to happen. There are alot of emotions involved and I am told that is ok. We will be healthier and soon on the other side and on the losing bench with so many others. Good Luck and God Bless.
Topic: RE: 5 days later....
Can I ask what your protein goal is? I'm curious as to others nut advice. Good luck, sounds like you are doing awesome.

Ugh, I wouldn't want to deal with that. Rant on. I can't imagine.

Congratulations! This is a good thing and normal to feel the way you do. I actually until the minute the put the mask on for the anesthesia I thought I was going to run out. I did not and even though I have had some bumps in the road so far it has been worth it.
Remember you are doing this for your grand daughter....
You will do great and will pray for you and God will take care of you!
