Emotional and Confused.....



Recommended Posts

I had my banding done on July 21st and my post op on the 2nd. When I went in for my post-op, I had lost 6 lbs since surgery. Right now I am stuck and have not lost any weight. I am walking but not as much as I can or should be and I am sure that is part of the problem. However, can someone please tell me if you went through any type of emotional 'depression' or just different emotions or is this all just me? Also, I can pass gas but having a very difficult time having a bm. Please tell me that others of you hace gone through the same thing. Any comments would be helpful!

Oh, let me add that I just came back to work on Monday and have not done the same things here as I was doing at home as far as my schedule of drinking Water or eating the same foods, its much harder when working to fit things in. I am just exhausted by the end of the day.

Hang in there it will get easier!! I was banded on the 28th of June 2010 and shortly after surgery realized why I had to have a psych evaluation to go forth with the surgery!! I cried a lot due to my emotionally attachment to food and when that is taken away it becomes emotionally distressing.

I had my first fill 3cc on the 9th of August and just last night was the first time I had experienced getting food stuck and it hurt like hell…I was crying afterward thinking that I’ll never be able to enjoy eating again.

Good luck on your journey…I’m glad we have this site to find support from other going thru the same experiences.

When you made your ticker there were a couple different codes. The one you need to use here starts like this [img

That's the BB code. You'll put that in your signature in your User CP.

      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.
