Major Regrets

Hello Everyone! It's been about a month or so since I've posted or got on here. I've been very sick!! I don't know if anyone remembers me saying I had no energy and felt sick all the time, well it's gotten even worse.

Stupid me, has just now decided to call Dr. B, and let him know what I am going thru.

I'm weak and sleep 14 to 16 hours a day.
I can't even go grocery shopping without it wearing me completely out, and then the next day....I'm dead to the world.
If I eat something, then I have to lay down.
My quality of life sucks!
And I am having major regrets.


Cheryl mentioned today that I may need a iron fusion and fluids, and worst case senerio a leak.....it that really possible to still have a leak...12 weeks after surgery, what do you personally think it could be? I go Thursday for a doctors appointment, and blood work......I hate feeling like this and having regrets, anyone else shared any of this?

Thanks, Amber

Amber are yo getting your protein and supplements in? You might have an infection that could be draining you....
I understand how you feel about regrets....But listen to this..you would regre not having surgery more....If you have to have iron infusion no big deal thats something easy to deal with....its not like having to have surgery or dealing with major complications.
Sweetcakes cheer up make sure you are drinking water and doing your protein...A easy wat to find out if you are dehydrated is look at the tips of your fingers if they are winkled then you are clearly dehyrdated....
I have not heard aof anyone having a leak at 12 weeks... if you did have one it would have shown up before now....Or at least I would think so....
Dr. Keith  has his patients do a leak test after surgery..
Good luck to ya and keep us posted.

I hope that the bloodwork can shed some light on things.  In the meantime, keep up with your water and supplements.  I know if I am too far down on my protein, I run out of gas pretty fast, (I mean energy, not, belly gas).

Hi, Amber.
I'm sure sorry you're going through all this, and it explains why you haven't been posting. Many of us have wondered about you.
I wish you had called Dr. B. earlier, but at least you called. He will help you know what's going on. I would really be surprised if you had a leak, because I'd think you'd have much more intense symptoms than exhaustion. Whatever's going on, and I'm voting for either low iron or low vitamin B, it will be fairly easily remedied.
Once your symptoms go away, so will your regrets. Until then, hang in there, my friend. I'm praying for you.
Blessings,
Mary

Hey Amber-

I wish I could help you. I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. Hang in there and hopefully they will be able to help you at WW...I am sure that it is something that will be fixed and you will be as good as new. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can do anything to help. I don't know that I can do anymore than offer you words of reassurance, but I will be here if you need me.

You are in my thoughts and prayers

Amber,
I've been wondering where you were!  I hope you get this figured out soon and get back to your normal self.  I'm such a baby, I would have called the dr. after feeling bad for just a few days.  I can't handle too much pain or being drained.  I guess because I chase toddlers all day I have to be at my best...or at least close to it.

Please keep us posted on what they say at your dr. apt.  I hope its something minor they can fix easy.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
Stay in touch.

I am so sorry that you are feeling that bad, but I am glad you called Dr. B and hopefully he will get you fixed up soon.

I think adjusting to this new tummy is hard and getting our bodies through major surgery is difficult, but I hope that you feel better soon. Keep venting about it on the board, that is what it is for. Trust me I screamed like a nut the other day and all of the wonderful people on this board gave me words of encouragement to help me make it through the day.

Take care Amber and let us know what Dr. B says.

Thanks for the sweet comments. Again, I just keep waiting to wake up one day and be full of energy, it's just 10:45 a.m. and I am so ready to go back to bed.....UGH!!! I just wish I had the energy to do laundry and run the vaccum! I'll keep you posted, I go tomorrow at 1:15.

Hugs to all,
Amber

Amber, something else clicked into my brain-the close I got to goal, the worse I seem to feel.  I think there is the goal we imagine, and the goal that is real.  (Ok, I don't mean to rhyme all the time)  Maybe that is something to think about too.  But honestly, I never have energy to run the vacuum-what a waste of time and dust.

(((((HUGS)))))


I hope that they get it all figured out quickly and you get some energy.
