Cranky and frustrated



Recommended Posts

I had my revision on June 6th. I haven't been able to get all my liquids in because it hurts and I have lots of gas. I am walking taking gas-x etc but nothing is really helping. I went to the doctor and everything is ok. She gave me a prescription dose of Pepcid to help with my hunger.

Right now I am at the mall so I could walk. I am cranky because my family is eating food and I can't. I am frustrated because I have lost only 7 pounds including preop. I know this phase will pass but I just want to feel better!

You just had MAJOR surgery-- 2/3 of your stomach removed ! Your body will not lose- your body is on WTF mode, lock down, don't even think I can heal without nutrition chapter. My kindest sent message is get off the scale, recuperate, don't break the rules, stop feeling sorry for yourself and embrace the new, exciting, wonderful life you have enabled yourself to have !! Its going to be so great, so wonderful and not everyone gets this opportunity. If you get hungry- more Protein, if you need to chew do so and SPIT IT OUT, rinse your mouth out with kitchen sprayer. Youu have to WANT this-- its not easy, its not fun and you have to change your mindset. You can do this !

      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.
