What is WRONG WITH ME???



Recommended Posts

Really it does get better. I really feel like I eat normally now. My portions are small, but I am satisfied and when I go out to eat, I eat what other people eat. I just can't eat as much. It's so worth it. I love not being fat anymore!

OK, I totally feel weird. I'm hungry and food tastes good to me. Does that mean I'm in trouble?!

lol I feel the same way, often I think I should be thinking like everyone else.... I enjoy eating,,,, I love activia vanilla yogurt... it tastes like a piece of cheesecake, love chicken broth with a scrambled egg in it, I can drink slushy drinks no problem.... some days Im thinking I wasnt even sleeved lol.... I wish I had that feeling of disgust or being full after one bite.... I worry I might be in trouble too

I feel your pain! Man have I had some bad times with this surgery. I'm a little over 6months post-op and I'm still having problems. I still think foods are bland. The best way to describe it to other people is the way food tastes after you've just had thanksgiving dinner. Nothing tastes good because you're so full right? Well its not because I'm full its just how food tastes now.. bland. I'm having issues with dizziness and Fluid intake. I still haven't gotten any help I have a bunch of symptoms that could be related but I justt feel like crap everyday! I guess I'm still going through that starvation mode. The upside is that my hair isn't falling out as much as it was before. Sometimes food smells good and if it tastes ok I can get a lot down but thats rare. I often have the same question.. "whats wrong with me!?" I hope you feel better.. I know I probably didnt help much!

      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.
