Hardest Thing About This ?



Recommended Posts

The hardest thing is this underlying feeling of uneasiness. I think it's from not processing feelings. I used to eat when I was upset. Now I don't. So I need to find something else to help me cope. Working out helps. Talking helps. I think it's time to start that counseling they talked about in class. 9 weeks out and -50 pounds.

I think this is my biggest problem and you just brought it to the surface for me. I have been feeling very anxious and I can't figure out why. Now it all makes sense!! Thank you!!!

Finding what to eat. If I happen to be on the go I'm not thinking straight so I think carefully if I go in this restaurant will the food be greasy & I'm gonna vomit. Will I look like a fool ordering food to have less then half then have to take it home.

My hardest problem post op is not dumping! It sounds positive but it's not! I know in my head I shouldn't eat certain things (and I don't give in) but I also know I could eat it without getting sick. Know what I mean? It's mind over matter!

For me the worst is behind me. The pre op liquid diet was the worst. I have really had any problems. I lost 82lbs. Mind over matter. I love working out now, I love the look on people's faces when they see me

I'm having surgery on the 26th and i'm missing not drinking so much so fast. I'm doing it now so I can be use to it. I know there's no drinking and eating but sometimes I forget. I never knew how much and how fast I really drank until i've learned to limit myself.

      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.
