Emotional today



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 1/16. I am an emotional mess today. I am feeling physically good and started the full liquid diet of my phase, my gas in my shoulder is still an issue but not unbearable. I am just hating this idle feeling. I normally start my day full speed ahead and do not sit down until dinner time. I am not really good at resting or sitting still. Feeling like I have ants in my pants. Anyone else feel that way in the beginning too?

I had the "ants in the pants" terribly. Plus, I was extremely moody. I think with you being used to getting up and going, this is definitely a big change for you. I would try and take some time to enjoy the resting period. I know it is hard but you need time to heal. I don't know if this helps but I wish you the best and congrats on becoming a "bandster". Blessings ~

Hang in there! It is normal to have some anxiety. You are going through a lot of changes. Maybe you can try walking some? Outside or around the house. It is good to walk and move. It will also help with any gas pains you might experience. Hang on! You have started a wonderful journey and have a ways to go. One day at a time! Best of luck!

      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.
