Thanksgiving Is Depressing For Me!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I know it is really hard missing out on all the holiday meals. But it will be so worth it. I sat down to eat today and could only eat about 1/2 of a small plate of food. I thought one of the biggest things I am thankful for this year is my band. Normally I would have eaten like a pig all day long. I could not even eat a whole piece of pie. I do not make very good decisioins on what I eat. But I deffinitly cant pig out like I used to. So hang in there and remember this is your last holiday being over weight. Next year you will be a new peson on the outside and feel like a new person on the inside. Oh and the gas does go away. But man does it hurt while it is there. Maybe you should take some pain meds just to get a brake from it for a while. Good luck to you on your journey.

Wow, you're so lucky ApinkSoporano, look at all the people here who care about you and know what you're going through. The day is almost over and you're gonna make it.

Hugs and congratulations on your band.

(Towards the end of my second week, don't tell anyone, but I use to stand over the sink and chew really soft foods, then spit it out..shhhhhh)

      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.
