Broke Down, Need Advice



Recommended Posts

So I'm a college student, 19 years old and we're I'm the middle of finals week. I was offered a cigarette and I took it. Please don't lecture me, I know I shouldn't and trust me it won't become a habit, and I don't plan on doing it anytime soon again, but I'm only human and I'm uber stressed and I caved in. My question is, being four months out should I be concerned about getting an ulcer from one cigarette?? Please be nice...like I said I'm not stupid I know what I did wasn't a wise choice but it was a one time thing and like I said it is not a habit or anything like that. Thanks :)

I don't think you will from just one. But like you said, you know it was wrong and harmful for your body. Next time, say no thanks and chew gum :)

You are working hard for your life, losing your weight and getting an education. The sleeve was a drastic step but we all understand drastic steps here. You are taking charge. Good for you!

One coffin nail does not an ulcer make. Get em together and they make a death box. You know that.

To handle stress go shopping and run up your parent's Master Card.

Kidding. :D

      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.
