Frustrated...nervous..



Recommended Posts

I got my surgery on December 23rd and since December 9th (when I started my pre-op diet) I have lost 35 pounds. Yes I am so happy and excited...but I am also nervous. It's hard to take down pudding and applesauce. Sometimes it's hard to just drink Water. I haven't been able to start my Protein intake because It makes me sick. I find myself so tired because I'm not getting my protein intake...I just feel tired and sick. Will this stop? When will this stop? When will I be able to just drink juice again? Or eat Soup? I am so freaked out because I literally just drink water all day because everything else is sometimes hard to take. I don't want fast food, I don't need sodas, but I crave to just eat normally again and I'm scared that I will never be able to. That I'll feel this uncomfortable feeling forever...I'm three weeks in and getting frustrated. Any and all kinds of comments will be helpful so plz plz comment.

Thank you everyone!

Jamie

you'll be fine, this is only temporary and this to shall pass. . . i'm out now a little more then 1 year and had all those feelings you have. . remember the tummy is swollen and will be swollen for a bit. . . just concentrate on getting down the fluids (water is good) you don't have to shove down stuff you don't like. . . you won't die from starvation I promise. . just relax and take one day at a time. . . i major hated my sleeve in the beginning for about 3 months until i got the hang of it. . . it's tough, it's not easy to have to relearn everything. . . so just chill and relax, you'll be just fine. . . good luck

DITTO! And, I want to emphasize the importance of the fluids right now. That is much more important that anything else in those first few weeks. You Go Girl!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
