I am in the same boat. My husband keeps eating out all of the things I wish I could eat right now. Its so hard and I feel regretful myself most of the time. Everyone on here keeps saying it will get better but its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I also had a psych eval prior to surgery but my comfort zone was so strong and I guess I went for food for everything and I never realized it. As for trying to figure out what I need to help me through this I haven't figured it out yet. It feels like I am stuck in this rut. I keep hearing from everyone that it gets better and that is what my husband keeps telling me but hard to see a light at the end of this tunnel.

What I'd like to know is how you are getting all that water and protein down???

Hello I am 9 days post-op and I am still finding it difficult to get food down. I want to advance soon to like chili or something but I still have issues with yogurt. I know its still early but can anyone tell me about when they were able to get thicker food down? And... about the tummy grumble... does it ever stop?

I get a little better everyday. I feel very emotional and get so upset. I never realized how much I turned to food to cope. Sometimes I feel like I made a mistake having the surgery because I haven't found another outlet for my emotions but then I think if I hadnt of had the surgery then I would have been gorging and feeling like crap for it. So its really a double edged sword for me right now. I have good days and bad days. Cant wait to have everything back to normal when I can eat some solid food.

What is worrying u? Since I posted this I ate some chili. I tolerated it and it was so good but I long for whole food lol.

Does that include say ground beef or shredded chicken or like steak?

Ya know I have been an emotional wreck the past few days. I am 7 days post op. I was wondering why I am feeling the way I am and the estrogen thing makes perfect sense or at least my husband will buy it lol. And you are eating meat already!?!?

I had mine on October 18th

I am in SeReno and had my surgery on October 18th with Dr. Ganser. He was very nice and was always asking me if I had any questions. I did have to do a series of 12 visits with a dietician before my insurance would consider it. And... well I am glad they did make go because I learned a lot before I actually started the surgery classes. I admit I have been having thoughts of regret because now I cannot just go out and eat whatever I want. But then I remember... that was the problem. So hopefully things calm down with my emotions.

I am post op 4 days but now I have feelings of regret about having surgery? Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing this emotion? I mean I feel like I needed this to loose the weight because I wasnt able to curb my cravings and the amount of food I consumed so then I feel like I did the right thing. Like its what I really wanted. Idk I just need someone to talk to.

Thanks guys. Its really hard to talk to my husband about these feelings because he doesn't understand. Its nice to know these feelings are shared.
