What was your mental state after surgery?
AuntPeggy replied to cassislame's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 3 weeks out and now that I can eat solid foods I do feel much better -

I hope so. I'm not drinking caffeine so I better up my exercise. Maybe now I'll have to deal with life instead of hiding behind food. -

I've been pretty depressed too. I think I must have eaten my feelings away before and now I can't. I'm being very short with people and feel very sad. I hope it goes away. -
How long were you off work?
AuntPeggy replied to DRoseman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on Monday and went back to work the following Monday (this week). Everyone thought I was crazy but I wanted some normalcy in my life. I am taking it slow and leaving early. I sit at a desk all day so it's not physically hard but I am tired when I get home, always fall asleep for a few hours on the couch. -
Surgery date: October 17...Is 1 day in the hospital enough?
AuntPeggy replied to GeTnBackuP's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had VSG on 9/18 and only stayed overnight. I couldn't wait to get out because I'm afraid of catching something in the hospital. And because my roommate never stopped talking. She's probably still talking to me and I left a week ago! Once home I sat in a recliner most of the times me except I slept in bed at night. -
Anyone else have mood swings that you can't seem to control? Need advice!
AuntPeggy replied to skearbey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm only 7 days out and I feel really depressed I guess because my relationship with food is over. Breakups are never easy. I keep reading that it gets better though and once I start eating real food I'll feel normal again -
So I guess I'm Day 6. I can have cereal, eggs, tuna fish tomorrow but like me you only 2 tablespoons 2x a day. I can't wait!!

September 2017 Gastric Sleeve Surgery!
AuntPeggy replied to Angel11's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for clearing that up about staples. My dr never mentioned removing staples. I too had minimal pain and recovered quickly. I intend to go back to work tomorrow since I'm just sitting here at home. Oddly enough I'm watching the food Channel which I never watch and I'm dying!! I'm really looking forward to oatmeal tomorrow. 2 tablespoons only 2x a day but I'll take it. -
3 days post-op and starving!!
AuntPeggy replied to meshelly's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know someone who used to freeze the protein shakes. I might try that. -
Costco sells Premier Protein shakes for $25 for 18. I'm on day 6 post-op (I think-do you count the day of surgery? If so then I'm on Day 7. I'm feeling depressed for some reason. I guess food gave me a lot of comfort. I think tomorrow I can have eggs and hot cereal. I'm really tired of jello, shakes, broth, ice pops. My lips are cracked and peeling so I need to drink more

Crohn's Disease and Gastric Bypass
AuntPeggy replied to angbet's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on Monday September 18. The surgeon won't operate if I'm flaring and I haven't been but for the past week or so I have "leakage" (gross) and today I had an incident at lunch where it was sort of a flare. I do t know if it's my nerves or VSL#3DS that I take. I'm waiting for my gastro to call to see if maybe Canasa can help. When you had your surgery were you in complete remission?
