Recommended Posts

well usually when i am stressed i eat...not this time. i just feel sick to my stomach. i found out earlier today my twin sister passed away- we're 38. my heart is broke...and i don't feel like eating at all. i did manage to choke down some dinner for the kids sake. my hubby is military so i had to do the entire red cross thing so they could contact him and get him home. he will be home later tonight. this is all so new to me because usually i eat. it's crossed my mind but it just doesn't sound good at all to me. i just want to know how people deal with stress and the band. all new to me since i was banded may 20th.

thank you, gypsy

Ohh sweetie.... I am so sorry to hear this. Kudos to you for not turning to food... sometimes a hard core workout is great for releasing stress and elevating your feel good hormones. This cannot be easy for you. Prayers coming your way...

I am also so sorry for your loss. I hope your husband is able to come home soon to comfort you.

I would agree with the other posting regarding the workout to relieve some stress. Often times I would rather not exercise, but after I do it, I feel better.

i am really sorry to hear of your loss. stay strong and keep your head up. maybe go for a nice long walk to clear your head. think of all the good memories you shared with her. then treat yourself to a nice bubble bath. i'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

Scream, runner, do a kick box class, anything intense to get out the feelings. May God bless you tonight and in the days that follow. Hugs and prayers for you...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
