Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. 

Hang in there and be good to yourself.

My life is a mess right now. Seems I can't get down 64 ounces of water, 60 grams of protein, 11 vitamins and supplements, 10 psychiatric medications and 30 minutes of exercise. Add to that that I am an emotional basketcase. I saw my psychiatrist on Monday. He changed my meds so they are not time released and changed the doses so instead of once a day I can take them 3 times a day. It's a lot more f-ing pills changing 3 of them to 6.

Yesterday back to the doctor for another check-up. I am sent up again for IV fluids. I feel like I am a bad girl for not following directions. Found out that eating 2 tablespoons is too much and I am making myself nauseated by eating 2 tbsps. I am supposed to try 1 tablespoon.

I went back to protein shots today. I can get 50 grams in 3 ounces and no nausea. Also since I am not eating 6-8 1 tablespoon meals I can drink for an additional 6-7 hours a day and get my water in.

I might go to New Orleans and stay with my mom awhile. I am going to try and leave tomorrow. I am 5 weeks plus 4 days out and I am not moving forward.

Thanks everyone for all of your support. I will write when I get to my moms.

You are doing really well... I had my 1 month check in yesterday and am down 24 pounds.  It feels great, knowing that we are all making progress.  I know we all lose at different intervals, but it's hard not to want it all right away.  Patience, patience, patience, I keep telling myself.

I don't get labs until 3 months and I am very curious because I am also so very tired that I want to go to bed by 8 PM most nights.  The dr said this is normal and that my body is still adjusting to having major surgery.  He said eating soft foods would help alot (I start them today) and he released me to go back to the gym.  yahhh.

I agree - no buyers remorse for me yet either !!  Congrats to us all.

miralax is the perfect thing to take until your tummy can tolerate fiber.
