Your hormones are in an uproar. You'll be like that for 4 weeks. Or at least I was. Sorry! you can do it!

I'm still hormonal and I am 7 weeks out today. Right now I am crying over birthday cake I cannot have. I think a lot of this is realization I REALLY can't have these things anymore without getting sick. And I am finally making good decisions for my health.

That sounds terrible but good at the same time. Im sorry about the cake thing. This slowly crept up on me. The day after surgery i was crying in the hospital for nothing and also when i got home. Yesterday my mother made me awesome cuban food and i couldnt even have one bite... Im not a sweets fan so i should be good on that side. Hope you get better soon.

I'm 5 weeks today and very off kilter emotionally...I cry at the drop of a hate...I'm obsessing about things I have no control over.....so not myself yet! But I'll get there :) someday!

Hey guys. It's best to just get some of that emotion out of your system. I went though this for 2 months and it got pretty bad. It's a bad mixture of hormones, food separation, and pain. I promise it will get better, but right now you have to go thought these growing pains.

I have the added joy of a relationship ending,my perfect 8 year old son starting to get in trouble at school for the first time ever, and,most importantly, my mom is on a kidney transplant list (has been for almost 2 years), a week and a half ago she got called to the hospital for work-up, there was a donor on life-support and she was #1 to receive the kidney.....about 8 hours later the called and she wasn't a close enough match to the donor so she was being sent home.....this one really hit me hard :/. I know everything happens for a purpose....mom is doing great, so great that she's not on dialysis yet, the start when her levels hit 10 and she's stayed steady at 11-12 for 2 years solid....it's amazing considering how quickly she was decreasing beforehand. I think we have the kid issue worked out but that was totally draining. And the relationship is what it is, he is an amazing man and I'm blessed to have he and his son in our lives, they are great friends, I just have to one to terms with the fact that that is all we will ever be....

Add the surgery stress, fatigue, overall not feeling well, crazy hormones and what is apparently becoming a weekly crisis in my life, I am fried!!!!

And tank you, we're all pretty much rock stars when you look at how we do this and all we do!

      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.
