disappointed - 5 days ago i thought my life was going to change..

hun, sorry you are feeling so sad, disappointed et al

you do know why you had WLS

as times passess - you will remember all the reasons you went through this

as your weight drops, your health will improve

i no longer take insulin/meds for diabetes - high blood pressure gone

other health issues of mine have also improved/resolved

co-morbities always improve, but many, many, many times "they" disappear!!! :)

you will feel better about yourself, allowing for even more good changes

your life is going to change!!!!!!

but you have to work for that change!!! :o

there are some other people that have "buyers remorse" right after surgery

you are not alone!!!!

you made the wise decision to have this life changing major surgery

please don't doubt yourself now

your aches and pains are not being minimized - but i'm so glad you didn't have any serious/major problems

many/most of us understand the "unfortunate" feelings of being naustious, tired, feeling bad all around

can't say enough that things should/will improve

is anyyyyone around for you to talk to???

mom/hubby/friend???

when you feel a little better (which you WILL)................

call your doc/NUT and find the name of a support group

if you had surgery out of state/country - no doc or NUT to call????

call your local hospital

just tell them your situation, just had bariatric surgery, looking to reach out to others for help/support/advice

i'm sure they will be helpful :rolleyes:

people that you have things in common with are very helpful, not only now, but as weeks, months et al pass

ONLY drink Water right now

your poor little tummy was just invaded :angry:

its very sore, and you must/should/need to treat it with TLC

please don't drink anymore sugary stuff - or any soda crackers - or even puree til you are given the ok

things get better as time passes :)

could be as hours pass, or days - but you will feel better gradually

all the pain was nothing????

the pain was/is for everything good you will be experiencing as time marches on

don't worry about Protein right now - that will happen

for right now - no one can emphasize enough the importance of drinking (no sugary drinks ok :blink: )

you are starting the journey to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

feel better, so you can enjoy the ride

hoping for your recovery to improve daily

we are all here to give you support :)

good luck

kathy

      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.
