I kind of had a real bad break down and cried a lot. I hate these emotional roller coasters. I've been feeling this aches and pains all over my body and I just so tired of it that I freaked and started bawling. I do t know what's happening to me. Sometimes I feel like this is all too much for me and I wanna quit.

I'm 3 months out and was just thinking the same. It's a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I don't think you can ever be really prepared for all the changes. It really grinds on my nerves when someone insinuates i took the "easy" way out. An alcoholic and a smoker can have moments where they give into temptation. We cant this soon out even if we wanted to. Hang in there. It's going to be worth it.

I'm 2 1/2 mod post-op and I feel your pain. The emotional roller coasters are so hard somedays. I don't know about you but reading from those that are at least 6 mos out and hearing how good they feel makes me feel so much better. Having this forum has been so helpful for me, I hope it helps you too. Hang in there :)

Its tough an alcoholic and a smoker can avoid social situations putting them around other smokers or drinkers. food is everywhere and we need it to survive. Commercials are my worst enemy!

The pains are something I would address with my PCP. Hope it stops soon.

Did you ever have these pains prior? The only reason why I ask is because I was taking a **** load of meds to help mask the pain (osteoarthrits, Lupus and back problems) because I stopped taking all those meds I've been in lots of pain. I also think because we are losing weight so rapidly that our muscles are weakend. When our muscles are weakend we can walk different and that can cause back pains. My body has been cold which makes my bones ache. Hope you are feeling better soon…((hugs))

I feel you Frye. Today was a good enough day as any and I felt sad. I noticed my mood was irritable and I picked a fight with my boyfriend for no reason. This is a very difficult process and def not the "easy way out"! We are mourning the loss of a major organ!!! If we had to get our leg cut off we would have to grieve that as well. This is no different. And now we don't have food to help us cope like we used to. This surgery is a constant reminder of my addiction to food and all my cravings are heightened and in my face. Because before the sleeve I would have just given in and eaten the craving. Now I can't and I have mixed feelings about it.

I get you. I know it's hard. I'm hoping its gets easier....:0/ either way its a battle, I'm hoping we are on the winning side.

What brought this about? Honestly, I stay away from the TV all together. I don't want to watch food commercials. I do fine the more I remove myself from America's unhealthy obsession with terrible food.

It wasn't the food it was the pain and the fear of things happening to me. The pain is sudden all over my body not at the same time but at different points its there then gone in my calfs my sides and in my rib cage where the bones meet.

      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.
