I didn't stay in bed at all. Are you drinking plenty of liquid. Dehydration causes nausea. Dehydration is your biggest concern right now.
If you can't get out of bed, I suggest you call your surgeon and tell them and they might bring you in gor iv fluids.

I?m 3 days post RNY and all I want to do is stay in bed and close my eyes. I feel nauseous often when up. How long did you guys feel like this if at all? When does life start to feel normal again?

If it was me ... this is the one thing I would emphasize.... when get up in the morning make exercise your first priority.

I'm Totally happy my amino acid / vitamin secrets with you to maximize the results from your efforts.

Also I would say never overexert yourself... if you're not happy you won't return the next day . I can't tell you how many times I turned around and said I don't want to do this .... but at least I tried .

And I did have several clients that successfully managed it through sheer personal will ... one ( formerly ) fat little jewelry district salesman ... a fairly elderly dentist... even a middle aged lady with a huge bra- buying issue ... but she loved to run on that treadmill bouncing ( dreadfully) all the way .....but she joined road runners club and shes probably wearing lululemon yoga pantz and has an apricot ass today .

Also there were a shocking amount of clients who had the ambition to run marathons... which is NOT easy by any means easy in NYC .

You have to qualify time wise in like twenty races to run ... but some people are determined and they did it from scratch...

No it's actually a LOT worse ... ya gotta swipe nasty things that make you want to puke out of the toilet... and we're talking three big glass vials and something that basically like a Kitty box in the toilet for collecting poo !!!!

Call me a child but I can't do it . I barf like literally thinking about collecting these samples.

They sent me a fecal test kit to put up

my butt and send back in the MAIL!!!!

That's not how at home fecal tests work. You don't stick anything up your butt. Make sure to read the directions completely or it may not be accurate.

Topic: RE: Moderation VS. Strict Diet

Your post about alcohol is interesting.

I'm the LAST person and the " bad grrl " on this site to criticize anyone especially myself.

I'm just NOT a Midwestern grrl ... I grew up in Manhattan on my own on tough streets in interesting times ... I totally relate to Vinyl for instance ... the thing is I've been very very honest with you .... and sometimes I think you can't handle it .

It's not necessarily that I have a better life than you ... it has totally so much pressure you have no idea .

And being sick right now like ALL the time sucks so bad and really scares me .

I actually hardly drink but it really does affect me a lot and I'd prefer to get more calories from food . It's not like I'm flopping around in public being a drunk .... not at all .

I like my glass of wine with dinner and I actually think it's healthy.

I'm not so sure about day drinking and shots in my morning coffee ... but again I'm relentlessly honest because what's the point of not being that ?

to be honest Covid has changed a lot for me . I was bored , lonely....

Topic: RE: Re: Those "Fancy" Weight Scales

You know many years ago i worked as a personal trainer ( actually manager of that desk ) in a very reputable and expensive Manhattan gym .

We used to put people in a pool and also measure and pinch them to get an accurate estimate of body fat ....

But may I ask you what I asked my clients? What are your actual goals ?

Do you want to look and feel younger and stronger or do you just want to lose weight and dress size or are you interested in becoming that fit muscular grrl or guy ?

Because every path to your chosen goal is slightly different... so let's get there FAST ... let you feel successful and like your efforts really made a difference.
