Anyone From Chicago? Weight Loss Is Depressing.....



Recommended Posts

Sometimes I feel alone in this. Other people dont get the ups and downs. The are quick to critic what little amount I eat and it makes me feel horrible. Anyone out there in Chicago? Just to hear a real life buddy to hang out with, lol. Sorry to sound pathetic, lol

I'm no where near Chicago but, I know exactly how you feel. I hope you find a buddie near you soon. Does the hospital or your surgeon have a support group? Maybe you could meet a buddie there.

In the meantime, keep posting here. Good luck and you're not alone.

yes, my hospital does have a support group and an online support group but... I hope I don't offend anyone. They are all way older than I am. I am 32,they are all in their 50's lol. And they are all like years into their post op. I guess the young ones are too cool to go lol

I'm not in Chicago, but I am in South Bend, IN. I have several friends that are over in Chicago. I'm sure if you need someone, either I can help out or one of them can. By the way, they have all had WLS of some form. Hang in there...I know all about the critics on the amounts of food. food still appears on my desk at work because they feel I need to eat way more than I do.

      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.
