I'VE WORKED OVERTIME AND STILL KEEP THE HOUSE GOING (OMG THE LAUNDRY FOR THE 8 OF US) HUBBY DECIDED TO RECOVER LONGER AT HOME SO HE REALLY TAKES IT EASY!  
I HAVE HIT A STALL! I'M STILL SO TIRED ALL THE TIME, I REALLY HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO WORK OUT! MY HUBBY DOES LESS THAN ME, NOT WORKING, NOT RUNNING UP DOWN STAIRS DOING LAUNDRY, NOT CLEANING HOUSE AND HE IS STILL LOOSING POUNDS DAILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPPOSEDLY I HAVE LESS TO LOOSE SO ITS GONNA BE HARDER, !

I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP MOTIVATE ME TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE TIME TO EXERCISE EVEN THOUGH I FEEL EXHAUSTED,   I HAVE DR VISIT COMING UP NEXT WEEK SO MAYBE THERE IS A REASON FOR MY FATIGUE!  STILL LOOKING FOR GOOD DRINKS, AND STILL CANT IMAGINE GETTING ALL 60GMS OF PROTEIN IN!  I THINK I SHOULD HAVE FLUNKED MY NUT PORTION OF ALL THIS!!!!!!

HOPE ALL IS GOOD EVERYONE!

My surgery went great had it on tuesday 23rd and came home 25th no problem! till the very next day when i had horrible lower abd pain. suffered with the pain till early sunday am went to er and they sent me home saying it was gas eveb though the xrays didnt show any gas!!!!!!! several hours i am back at er only to be asked y did i come back!  finally they did ct scan and found BLOOD CLOT !!!! so i got admitted for 5 more days and they didnt put me on the bariatric unit.  I loved the Bariatric unit it was awesome. I was admitted to the general surgery floor. when i asked to go to the bariatric floor they told me it was for bariatric patients, wtf what am i ????? I cant tell you haow many hospital staff told me I wasnt big enough to be a bariatric patient.  Thats funny for the last 6 months i have been and doctors and insurance co agree now that i have had my surgery someone working at the hospital is going to give me their opinions  and when they didnt have me npo in the regular unit they complained i had poor intake!!!! hello less than 1 week post op and i dont want grilled cheese  imagine that!  i quickly got a roommate that was a slob. it was her tom and everytime she used the bathroom she left blood on seat!!!!! grosssssssss I had to fight to get a private room but i got out of that!!!!! and the residents just dont understand their responsibilities. I needed a doctors order to be allowed to take a shower! i even asked resident for one and she laughed and the nurse told her that was the only way i could take shower! 5 days in hospital with only sink baths and NO ONE understanding what type of diet I needed after my wls!   The Cleveland Clinic is not a place i would be willing to go again~!!!!!!!!!     

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE SEVERE PAIN WAS.  I THREW A CLOT  5 MORE DAYS IN HOSPITAL SEVERAL OF THEM WERE SPENT NPO NOT EVEN WATER!  I HAVE ONLY LOST A LITTLE 33 POUNDS SINCE MAY HUBBY HAS LOST 60 HES THREE WEEKS POST OP  HE REALLY LOOKS GOOD     BUT I HAVENT EVEN CHANGED SIZES  WTF?
I THOUGHT I WAS READY BUT I AM NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK


HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING BETTER!!!!!

Tuesday the 23rd was my sleeve surgery. Doctor said i did well.  so well they didn't have a problem with discharging me on Thursday.  My daughter had surgery on Friday so doctors knew i had to go.   I walked the halls in the hosipital usually doing 4 or 5 laps. they said most pts did only 1 or 2. They knew i wanted out.  of course i carried her to or table she was terrifed (72 lbs)  how bad could that have hurt me? 
since i have been home i'm walking as much as possible  at least 30 mins a day. my pain is crazy rt lower abd pain increases with movements like getting in out of bed or car. omg i have tears in my eyes when i move, besides abd pain i am having back pain thats really bad.  they only gas that i have had is burping!!!!! no bowel movements.  i actually hurt more now days later rather than in hospital.  i'm careful eating /drinking my stomach still makes me double over in pain.  forget me bending over i cant!  my husband is doing awesome he had his sleeve the wed before me.
Please dont let this scare anyone that might be on the fence.  I think its just me i had 7 iv /blood draw sticks even after the midline.

anyways any one have any suggestions?

thanks

Because I'm such a good wife, I started my preop diet early to help my husband with his.  I love what it does for the scale!!!!!!!!   If I keep busy, I dont miss eating. I have been so tempted. Friday took my oldest child to the mall, we need some one on one time, she's the oldest of 5, (15,5,twins 4,2).  She ate everything in site, but mom stayed strong! Auntie Ann pretezel was had untill she took a bite of the hot dog one,then the m & m cookie was easy still smelling the old nasty hot hog, the pizza was hard,but it was thin crust so I had my water till we got home and then had my protein shake. This week we are taking a break and going to indoor waterpark with the family, there's 13 of us going  should be relaxing but challenging 4 little ones 5 and under and a teenagers  will be interesting to say the least. Next week is my husband's surgery, and then my middle daughter mri,following week my surgery and my oldest turns 15 on turkey day.  wow sounds busy!     everyone doing the pre op diet hang in there  we will make it!!!!!

we sound like Sponge Bob
