Rant about feeling crappy after surgery DAY 4. lol

Okay so I can't take any painkillers because there is NO WAY in hell I'm going to take a supository (actually when I was in the recovery room I yelled at a nurse, even though I was totally out of it.) "We're going to give you a suppository." "NOOOoooo!" "Why not?" "CAUSE IT'S EMBARAsssssing!" Pass Out. I guess I'll never know if I got it or not. LOL! And I can't take crushed pills because I know that it will probably make me vomit, and I'm so grossed out by these staples and the last thing I want is for them to explode. And because I'm feeling sorry for myself- it couldn't get much better (I'm sure you ladies can understand this) I've had my period since I checked in at the hospital. (EVERY TIME I HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY- 3 TIMES NOW! ) Just to add some bloating/discomfort and embarassment to my situation. Yeah. Tell me you want to do a urine sample. UGGGGGGH. lmao well okay now I'm laughing at myself. I'm so odd. So basically I'm sitting here, on this website bored out of my mind (people have been very supportive mind you) because all the tv is offering are LAME RERUNS! And I'm home alone because everyone has better things to do. And my cat is circling my feet like a shark because he loves sitting on my stomach. And it hurts like hell. And I'm not sure if I lost weight. Probably not. And I think I'm hungry but I'm not- how messed up is that? I need to find something to occupy me other than food. And whats worse? I'm running out of things to ***** about!

Lol.. you sound like me after my surgery. I'm sure you've lost weight. Especially with the RNY.. you lose fast.. and trust me.. so -- i know you're only a couple days out of surgery.. are you not on a liquid diet? or what exactly kind of diet are you on right now and when does that change?

I'm on a liquid diet for about 2 weeks, which I'm actually okay with- I had my jaws wired shut before in an attempt to loose weight and I was on liquids for 3 months... but I'm affraid when I can eat stuff I'll screw up. But when I start losing weight I'll be like woohoo! It's just right now. I've heard of people my weight, around my age losing 60-100 lbs + in 5-7 months and I keep reminding myself. I'm drinking alot of water. It fills me up. But it hurts. It just reminds me that even if I were to eat like a piece of bread or something I'd be really sick. I know it's sick, and maybe I just want to punish myself for getting like this, but I look forward to dumping syndrome- I'm actually affraid I wont get it. I know it's a horrible thing to think- but I mean my family just wants me to lose the weight, I do too. Ugh. I heard you have highs and lows after surgery and because of the anesthetic but uggggggh. I really appreciate your talking me through this. Sometimes it feels like no one understands.

Ahh. okay - I was thinking you were talking like you were already on solid food. I know some doctors do that, so I was just curious. You should NOT punish yourself.. and you should NOT look forward to dumping syndrome. I've only gotten it like 2 times in the past year and 3 days since I had the surgery, but it's really not good for the body. It's a good thing that you're drinking the water, just remember the protien and everything else, too! Does your doctor have you drinking at least 64 ounces a day?

I'm not really sure how much water I'm supposed to drink, I guess I should check that out- yesturday I only managed to drink 3/4 a bottle of water. Drinking water upsets my stomach for some wierd reason.

You should definately find out how much of what, and when for all that if you're not sure about it. It's very critical at this point to get what you need, when you need it. You probably need to definately other things besides jus****er, even though water is something you are okay with drinking.. there's other clear, no-sugar-added liquids, as well. Such as: apple cranberry and grape juice, clear broth or bouillon, sugar-free gelatin, herbal or decaffeinated tea or coffee, sugar-free kool-aid, crystal light, carb solutions, wylers light (but only decaffeinated flavors for this).. and many others. let me know if you want to know more. basically what i was told was about 4-6 ounces hourly adding up to 64 ounces a day. and also - protien for this. such as: atkins, carb solutions, advant edge, slimfast low carbohydrate, isopure, and some gnc products. this is all in reference to what i got from my surgeon.

Well I'm following like this meal plan thing they have me on and I'm taking all of my vitamins so I think I'm covered :| Oops I forgot to take my milk supplement lol

Hey I just realized the last time I talked to you I was whining about feeling like crap LOL Just to let you know, I'm feeling much better - I've updated my profile if you want to check it out. Take Care!!

That's great! I'm glad to hear it! How much have you lost so far, do you know? I know I've hit rock bottom for my weight - I've lost 116 lbs, which I got down to just about 4 weeks ago probably. Now all I have to do is continue to work out so I can get this stupid extra skin gone. Grr, it's annoying. Plus I really have to work to get it off at least under my arms, because I'm getting married in October and I do not want that to show. Especially with the wedding dress I got. Ugh. But that's great! Have you talked to the surgeon about anything either?

Congratulations on the wedding!! So far I've lost 21.5 lbs this month. But it's all about the little WoW moments I guess - I can use my at home scale now!! (it goes up to 330 lbs) lol so YAY!!!! I don't have to go to the hospital to be weighed like some sort of giant or something, that's really cool. I was wondering if people our age had problems with extra skin because being younger, our skin is more elasticy- alot of the older women need tummy tucks and breastlifts and arm clippings or whatever - is it really that bad? I'm sorry if I don't reply right away - I'm going to be gone for two weeks, they have internet where I'm going but I don't know if I'll be able to open this site. I'll try and email you. I haven't talked to my surgeon, because everything seems pretty normal - when I talked to him on the phone he asked if I was throwing up - so I told him the truth, Yes - but I know why. It's been because I overate, drank water after, wasn't hungry or it didn't agree with me (wasn't ready for it) He said ok, so I guess everything is normal then. I haven't thrown up so much! Yay for me. Tylenol seems to be helping the pain. So yes- once again congratulations on the wedding! I'm sure you will look amazing in that dress! You have to send me pictures!
