Emotions make my sleeve tight?



Recommended Posts

So I just got torn a new one by my family. Summary: I'm a failure in life.

Any who, it is lunch time for me and because I am sad/ just cried, I find myself unable to eat my full serving of lunch as it seems to be almost stuck in my throat. Any amount that I do eat just comes back up.

My question: does being emotional make the sleeve tight? I use to be able to eat my emotions away and now I can't even manage a 1/4 cup of cottage cheese.< /p>

Anyone have anything similar happen?

When I got into an argument with my significant other during lunch, I found myself unable to eat at all. lost my appetite completely, and couldn't even bring myself to put my spoon in my mouth. Pre-surgery, I would have happily comforted myself with my food.< /p>

Yes...when things go bad at work or I get into it with my daughters father or family, my stomach clamps shut. I actually could barely drink liquids on thanksgiving because of tension. I haven't found a solution as of yet... I was always the first one to reach for food for comfort.

Same here, I thought it was just me, I would, before the sleeve comfort myself with food, but when I'm upset or cry, I don't have any desire to eat. It feels like it will come back up if I eat while I'm upset. Keep your chin up, it will get better :)

      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.
