When does it get eaiser



Recommended Posts

NORMAL!

I never had actual regret' date=' but I did have some freakout over the fact that the majority of my stomach was rotting in a Mexican bio-dump somewhere. Also when you're not eating for so long, you start to feel like it's never going to end and you can't face another sickening sweet Protein shake.... food is a VERY emotional thing for a lot of us. When someone interferes with my ability to have it, I get extremely emotional.. I cried on more than one occasion during my PRE-OP because I couldn't have what I wanted. I felt so stupid, but this is reality.

Also remember that your body has been through a huge physical trauma. Take it easy and cut yourself some slack. You are completely normal and this will pass and you'll be rocking your sleeve in no time.[/quote']

OMG. I'm on the 2nd day of my preopp liquid diet and driving in to work today I just started crying. never in my life have I felt stress and anxiety until these last few weeks leading up to surgery. Sure I'm in PMS mode and that plays a role... But it's the weirdest feeling. My boss even caught me crying in my office today and asked me what's wrong. I lied and told her that I was afraid of dying during surgery because I couldn't tell her why I was really crying. Hell I didn't even know why I was really crying.

Iontash that's normal it's gonna take about 3-4 days until you get use to that liquid. But I assure you it is so worth it. You will start seeing the weight come down and you will be happy. It's easy putting that weight on. Don't expect a walk in the park getting it off.

NO PAIN NO GAIN. Or loss whatever you know what I mean. Hang in there all you can do now is lose weight. And that's a good thing!!!

      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.
