Beyond Frusterated!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I am 7 months past surgery and only 28-30 pounds down!! I mean I know the band is not bypass so I am not expecting super dropping of numbers but I have had 2 months solid with no dropping at all. I am pretty realistic. My eating could be a bit better but at most I have a few oreos a week. I've had fast few a handfull of times since my surgery and if you look at my eating habits prior to surgery and now WOW, what a differance. What is really frusterating is I have just completed my first 5K, that is 3 miles, so fo the past 3 weeks I have been doing the 3 miles everyday with the exception of 2 days a week (3 one week). This is rediculous. If you look at my lifestyle before I am so drastically differant. PLUS, I didnt get a fill this month the last time I got one was 6 month and I am up to 7 1/2 cc's. I vomit pretty much every time I eat, not all but ALOT. So you think at the very least I should be dropping from that. I made a appt to see my doc but I am pretty upset with this whole thing. Agian I am not expecting to wake up tomorrow skinny but I feel like so much effort is put into this for very little.

Anyone out there have the same effect??? or troubles???:blink:

Sounds like you're too tight if you're vomiting that much. What do you eat in a normal day, and how much?

Mornings are difficult and many times I drink a cup of coffee and thats it...if I do eat it is maybe 5 bites of eggs or a peice of bacon or a very small bowl of Cereal....lunch i have a bowl of something a reg Cereal bowl. Today it was rigatoni with mushrooms and steak peices, yesterday a blt sandwhich.. dinner it is all over the board but usually in an hours time frame i can eat a plate of food....but most of the time things come right back up, like dinner last night i dont think i kept anything down except the 3 oreos i ate hours after dinner. I tried salad, nope..nothing stayed down.

It is weird thought I dont know if everyone has this issue....wow we are going to talk gross for a moment! but anyway it is not a "vomit" really it is more like spitting up what just went down. i eat it and i just wait a second and my body creates enough salia that is just half the time feels like it is the salvia that makes me spit up not vomit...i dont know it feels weird.

      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.
