I would definitely focus on getting fluids at this point. Do you have broth? Jello?

Yes but I have this bad taste in mouth and so thirsty. They feel like it's going to come right back up. So, then I'm done.

What about water and ice chips? In the early weeks, my surgeon told me that my job was to stay hydrated, that eating was secondary.
When is your next follow-up appt?

Good. You may want to start making a list of questions so you can take advantage while you're there. Until then, keep trying to stay hydrated. Have a drink at your side at all times and sip, sip, sip. Also, Ice chips are nice because they are crunchy and aren't as filling as water.

Why are u crying over it? Why do u regret it? Ask urself those questions. Then remind urself why u got the surgery.

I know because I have lost 20 lbs. When I was dieting before I couldn't even lose 1 lbs. Now I've lost 20 lbs but I don't even see from where. I think it's just fluids that I lost.

Congrats on the 20!!! Take pride in it, don't downplay it. These are the positives that everyone needs to focus on.

OMG I went out shopping for groceries and I almost fainted. I guess I'm just not ready for all that excercise. It's time for a nap. I am done. No energy to do anything.

Yeah, took me almost a month to get my energy back. It'll come.

I’m still really struggling with low energy, 4 months out. If I’m not at work, I’m taking an afternoon nap. And I look really, really tired all the time! I’m hoping this improves. Brenda, you look absolutely radiant

Thank you Julie!!! That means so much.
I'm really sorry you're still struggling with energy. Your poor body has been through the ringer with all your surgeries. Hasn't ever had time to fully heal. I really hope in the weeks to come, you'll be back to yourself. I remember that you didn't even need this for weight loss, it was health reasons, right?

Thanks Brenda, yes I had the surgery to correct issues caused by 2 failed surgeries. I swear I’ve aged 10 years recently. On a positive note, it is nice to go shopping and wear much smaller clothes. I had another shopping spree again today, Dillard’s had a great sale, 65% off! I bought 3 new tops in bright colorsThank you Julie!!! That means so much.
