Not feeling Very good...

..Iam not feeling very well...my vision is very blurred and my head hurts now....Iam drinking water alot and eating like Iam suppose too.walking, walking and exercising even ..But when I weighed yesterday it said I only lost 3lbs....I know there is a change in scales but, it is still discouraging ....I really dont know what is wrong with me..I just dont feel right...Iam taking the Vit B1 thiman like they told me to do but I still get funny tastes in my mouth..just very weak....Think I'll be ok though just pray for me...Thanks....Craig Lee

you know it has not even been 4 weeks yet . You are still recuperating you know. There are going to be days that you dont feel good i think. And the 3 pound wt loss was what in a week. when have you ever lost 3 pounds in a week befoer surgery. It cant keep up at 25 and 30 p9unds a week you would be skin and bones in a matter of weeks. I would take a guaranteed 3 pound a week loss for sure..I need to buy me a good scale. but havent gotten one yet. It is just as well this first week i would be on it all the time i think. Did you stop that medicine and you are still getting blurred vision you need to check it out. my vision has been blurry since surgery. I dont know why but it has. I can clear it up but then i go right back to squinting and making it blurry. stupid huh. I emailed Dena yesterday about something and she called me right back so maybe you ought to email her about your concerns about your vision. Jan

Craig So sorry to hear you are not feeling well my friend. Of course you are in my prayers. And 3 lbs in a week is not bad at all. And don't get discouraged, as there has been a couple weeks when I didn't lose but a pound or two. And one I didn't lose anything. But I can't really complain. I have lost around 75 pounds since the week before my surgery so far. I know we would all love to go to bed and get up the next morning and have all the extra pounds gone, but it just doesn't work that way. LOL I hope you get to feeling better soon. Maybe you should do what Jan said and get a hold of the Dr.'s office. Take care of yourself and God Bless You. Sky

Good morning Craig, Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well this morning and you are in my prayers also. You know though maybe even with the surgery we aren't suppose to lose too fast so maybe 3 lbs a week is a good start and to be honest I'll take whatever I can get because there was the time before surgery that I wasn't losing at all. So my friend don't be discouraged and I thought it was just me but my vision has been a little blurry too but I also thought it may be that EVERYTHING will have to adjust to the new US . But check it out with Dena just to ease your mind. God bless you, Barb T. in KC

Craig, are you getting your protein drinks in? Remember, we're supposed to drink 6 cups of liquid a day and 3 of those cups should be protein drinks. The protein helps the weight come off, too, and will give you some much needed energy. But, friend, 3 pounds is fantastic. Do you realize that's 12 pounds a month? I don't ever remember losing 12 pounds a month on a diet before surgery! Don't get discouraged. I agree with Jan and Sky, contact Dena at Dr. H's office and talk to her about how you're feeling. She'll take real good care of you, buddy. You're in my prayers. God's blessings to you....Love, Linda

Craig Sorry that your not feeling well. If this keeps up you need to call Dr. H's office!!! Now as far as 3lbs go. Dont let your scale determine how your days going to go. 3lbs is not a huge amount but it isnt nothing either. Just like sereval of the ladies here said. 3lbs is at least 3lbs that you have lost FOREVER!!!!! If you lost 3 lbs every week for the month of August that is 15 POUNDS!!!! You have dieted before you had surgery. How many times could you say you lost 15lbs in a month?? Keep your chin up remember the Devil will do anything he can to get your mood down and make you feel like your a failure. But you a CHILD of GOD'S and the Devil in UNDER YOU FEET!!!! Keep Stomping Him back to his place!!!!! Love ya Melissa

Are you also taking the vitamin B-12 or is that what you meant to type? I take 1000 mcgs a day. They say you can't take too much. I agree that I would talk to my doc and see what he or she recommends. Teresa
