Wow they let you have full liquid and yogurt so soon. I have to do 1-2 weeks of clear liquid, 2 weeks of puree and 2 weeks of soft then get to go to regular food but will have to chew 25 x and wait 2 minutes between bites. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Surgery today: Feeling hopeless
SaveTheManateeMama replied to elvira.dark's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sounds like you have given up on you. I guess I suggest finding ways to love yourself. You are not your body. You are more than just a size. Can you find a bariatric support group in your area? Also psychology today website can let you filter weightloss specialistsnfor counseling. You may just need to learn to view things differently. You are a valuable person. My surgeon even says there is no reason to blame the patient because it's not their fault. There are many biological and.psychological reasons people gain weight. I can empathize with looking for comfort. Can you think of something u could use instead for comfort? A hobby, reading, support group, behavioral modifications, even using something like a food journal, popsicles made of isopure 40 g protein zero carb drink. It gives you a dessert and something to keep your mouth busy during a comfort food crisis. Or even water popsicles plain or.made with water enhancers?

Constipation
SaveTheManateeMama replied to Alwayzsmiling's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I've been on morphine for 5 years it causes horrible constipation. So I came up with a natural remedy because nothing worked. I make a tea as many times a week as needed but for me now maybe 2 x a week to stay regular. It's made from yellow dock, sarsparilla, and burdock root. It tastes bitter and kinda like diet but I add some water enhancer to make it more palatable. Maybe that would work for you. My doc even suggests to his patients now.
