Emotion Overload!!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is tuesday 9/13. I am terrified that I am doing the wrong thing. My stomach is so nervous that I'm afraid that I might vomit.

I too question why I can't do this on my own. Why do I need to do this to my body? Why can't I control myself? Should I try one last time? If I can do the liquids for two weeks, why can't I stick to other diets?

Well, I've done the 'one last time' weekly for about 20 years.

I'm going to keep checking back to this site just to read the success stories to encourage me to keep going.

Good luck on your journey.

Yep KateMarie, I am right there with you. I thought about giving it another 4-6 months on my own. I know I would be mad at myself and disappointed I didn't lose more than I did. With the holidays coming up I really believe this is a good decision for us that are having surgery in the next month or so. I hear consistently that this questioning ourselves is very normal

My best to you with your surgery Tuesday! You know going in the first couple of days are not fun, but each day after you will feel better and weigh less! Keep us posted after your surgery. I have imagining what I might weigh and look like at Christmas time- can't wait:)

      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.
