I have tears in my eyes. I am so sorry you are enduring this. I have not been through this kind of stress since my band. I do know that food does not hold the same power over me as it once did. Now, "it's just food". BUT, you NEED nutrition so at least maybe get some Protein Shakes down or something? You need to maintain your strength. Sending hugs your way!

I think you need to find healthy habits that will help you grieve and then move on from your sisters death. Excersise is a great idea. You might also try journaling- just let the pen go and write down what your feeling. Don't be afraid to accept support from the people around you. The main thing is to not let your feelings get bottled up. Best wishes!

So sorry for your loss. I am sure your sister would want you to stay on your journey to becoming healthy.

Stress is hard on my band too, try sticking with liquids, Soups and mushies if you can, you don't need a sliming/PB episode to go with everything else.

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your sister.

oh, Gypsy, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. How devastating.

I, too, have lost a sibling; the pain is crushing. If you ever need an ear or shoulder, I'm here to talk.

I wish you the best under the circumstances. I am the mother of 15 year old twins - I feel your loss. Take care of yourself. I find that I eat when I'm stressed about "little things" the "big things" take my appetite away. Staying healthy and strong are the most important things right now. You have lots of time to worrry about the weight.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Agree with previous posts -- getting some hard core sweating in might help. Whatever you do, be sure to get lots of fluids and some Protein in to take care of you.

God's peace.............

      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.
