Hmm.. I feel like I'm the only one who would absolutely love my family to leave me alone. I mean.. Really alone. Not just when I lock myself in the bathroom and pretend I'm actually using the toilet' date=' or when I say I'm going to the grocery store and never leave the drive way because it's so peaceful all by myself. .. ;) etc[/quote']

Laughing as I am reading this in the car pretending I am not home yet!

I can relate! Found that ice has become my best friend now. I get the little sonic ice and it helps as I watch tv or feel the "need" to chew. Also, I've noticed that each day the hunger gets less as the acids in my tummy regulate.

I totally understand your vent. If it helps just think soon you will be able to eat. Stay strong.

Mrs Pierre, your headband rocks.

TakingBack, this is the perfect time for some spiritual growth. God loves each and every one of His children, but would also like us to take care of the body that He lent us for this earthly life. Hmmm... do I really believe that 100%? Not always, but I'm kind of religious, and pretty spiritual, and I feel like this is a dialogue that I have with God, often...Now, is it a dialogue if I'm the only one talking....I think so...I'm sure God does sometimes answer us, albeit indirectly.

Maybe the next 5 days are a time to reflect on your relationship with the Eternal...or maybe find some Bible passages about being healthy, or taking care of our bodies...or even try 1 Samuel 16:7, which just makes ya feel good:

For [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Be strong, be strong, & may you be strengthened.

Things are normal! That is something I think most folks wanted to do. I had a major meltdown 6 days post op. Just hang in there. It will get better!

I am almost 16 weeks out now and life has been great since about 6! I promise it will get better!

First I understand how you feel. Many of us can testify that we went through the same stage. I was mad for about two weeks with tears. I fussed at my entire family. It gets way better. But Yes he does need to be more helpful. Maybe some one else can help. In the beginning some do need to be there. And call your physician immediately if you feel sick like chest pain Short of Breath fever or seem like something is not right. We are here for you too and will be more than helpful.

Wishing you the best of Luck

Thanks everybody:) I've calmed down and prayed through it, I think it's probably a good thing to be alone for a few days. Need to put on my big girl granny panties and move forward.

Had some restaurant egg drop Soup for dinner without even thinking of a Protein shake and I've adjusted my attitude. So nice to be able to hear affirmations from those who have been there, thank you.

This community is such a blessing:)

Book the longest massage you can afford or get a little package (check groupon!) and go every other day they're gone. It's very therapeutic and will help release a lot of toxins in your body. Next best think to a Calgon moment and spares a lot of violence :-)

Funny my first week home my brave sister came out to stay for a week. She then saw that I have more then one job. The 24/7 mother job. I am lucky my oldest is twenty and my youngest is 12 but my 15 year old is autistic. They 24/7 job that never goes away. She helped big time and the kids were good but she had to go home and rest from all the usual mother stuff. And mind you my 15 year old is not the one that demands the most time. The regular other two are the ones that you ask them to do something and its why or I will do it later and the golden why can u do it? Forgetting that you can hardly move. I loved the fact the kids went to school so I had the house to myself for part of the day. I am a single mom with an ex who returned to his country for a visit and it has been 5 years. So he is no help.

      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.
