I am weak only got off the couch once yesterday and slept for like 4 hours which is something I never do....this is not everyday but it has been the past 3 days!!!!! What am I doing wrong??? I need help trying to figure a way to fix this!! I wake up at around 530 and drink a glass of water then have a cup of coffee, next usually a scrabled egg
and then a multi vitamin and a calcuim w/ vit D I walk on my tread mill 17 minutes and after that the day is just kinda a blur....I cant get much of anything else down the rest of the day.....I always have bottled water but feel soo full its hard to drink it.....My bff says I look really bad, around my are dark and I am soo tired its a chore to just clean the house!!!!! If anyone has any suggestions I will be more thasn happy to hear them ...I am getting in maybe 40 oz of water around 32 protein....
On the plus side of all this I have for years never went a day without a headache and since this surgery I have not had one at all ;o) that is amazing I am soo happy about that!!!!! I want to lose this weight and I know I am not getting in the right amounts of anything and all thats doing is messing me up!!! Thanks for reading
If you are not taking your depression meds, you may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms, depending on what meds you are on. I think you should call your doc today about the trouble you're having taking your meds.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
As far as the water you might just want to try sipping constantly. I have to force myself to watch exactly how many ounces I get in because I really tend to under drink too.
Some of the extreme fullness will get better as time goes by. The first month was the worst for me by far.
Hang in there!
I'm assuming the water, coffee and egg aren't taken one right after the other? If things don't improve you should give your doc a call
Even though I haven't had surgery yet, many in the support groups I attend say you just need to relax and not expect too much from yourself. You're only 3 weeks out, you're clear liquids are most important, they say keep a bottle of something with you all day and sip, sip, sip, then work on building the protein up a little more each day. You just had MAJOR surgery and your body is still healing and adjusting. As for your meds, I would talk to your surgeon about how to better handle those.
Good Luck!!
