I Am Slowly Going Crazy!



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved May 20th so I am only 4 days post op. On the bright side I'm not hungry. On the other side I can't stop thinking about food.... things I want to eat, I would love a bite of mashed potatoes!!! But I'm not hungry, I know I am not the only one that is dealing with this. I dreamt about chicken last night. But I'm not hungry.... dealing with the head hunger is terrible. Can we "sleeve" our brains? I know it will get better as I progress through the next few weeks and start seeing the scale drop. I head home tomorrow so hopefully being hame and not stupid bored in a hotel room will make a difference, but I have to remember I am not hungry.... just a bit crazy!!!

I watch Man v/ food and Anthony Bordain No Resevations; my husband was like "WTF are you doing? Why are you doing this to yourself?" They don't get it. I'm not sure I get it. At that moment, I could enjoy watching it.....

I want to CHEW something... sick of drinking my food. I'm not necessarily hungry, but I want to crunch on some carrots in a BAD way!

I spent my post-op time watching Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Every time he'd go "That's MONEY", I'd make myself take a sip of water! LOL It amused me.

I got sleeved on May 18th & went home & started watching the food Network also! It was so crazy, I haven't watched that channel in months & now it's on my favorite list...I too watched Guy as I sip, sip, sipped on my clear liquids...very strange indeed...I'm sure it means I'll be needing lots of therapy to get down this road...

      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.
