Week 5- So Depressing / Disgusting To Eat



Recommended Posts

Daniel - I do undrstand

Melissa - they had me go off it the day of surgery and didnt give it to me in the hospital so when I got home I tried crushing it which I just could not swallow the taste was so bitter. After a week I fflt better. I do really well until I get stressed. I have seen a therapist before and feel they are robots with the same questions , no answers and "pay at the door" attitude. I felt like a slave to the pills.

If you were on an ssri it is really not good to stop them cold turkey permanently. I understand feeling like a slave to pills, I have RA and am on over a dozen rxs with two of them being injectable. My surgeon told me small pills are fine to take whole and the larger ones can be broken in half if crushing them is too much of a hassle or tastes too bad. I'm on zoloft and I stopped it only the day of surgery- I had no problems taking them the next day along with a statin and a beta blocker.

It kind of sounds like staying off your meds might be pushing you into depression? Hope you feel better soon.

Your posts made me smile today. Today was another horrible day at work. I cried all lunch hour. I feel so over whelmed. My support group meet next week and I will talk to the speaker afterwards. My daughter called today, she had a wreck. She;s ok but just something else that worried me. I started back on my Welbutrin. The pills were huge so i cut them in half and took it two halves together. I hope thats ok. Anything I drank or eat today, came back up. I know its nerves. I came home, ate, vomited, came to bed and covered my head and here I stay. I hate my job so much and loved it so much last month. They have just put way more on our office than I myself can handle. I'm watching for a new opening in the university but till then have to deal with it. And I don't know how to..... All of your advice on here makes sense and I will take it to heart and try to use it. I just at this moment don't feel like Im going to make it. Not suicidal...just unsure of my every day that I wake up. Dread waking up, dread going to bed.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day. The only advice I can offer is the same as your handle. Keep looking ahead. It will get better. Enjoy the bedroom camp out.

      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.

      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.
