Hope it all turns out okay with the surgery and tests. I didnt start exercising until 4 months out. Your body will lose the,weight at its own pace no matter what you do.

Still in pain and can't eat I have to wait until Apr.2 for them to go in and see if i have a stricture,so only pain meds and liquids until then.

I've started therapy for postpartum depression and my eating habits and today i had a real eye opener cause the dr thinks i might have a restriction or possible leak so im undergoing the procedure to check and see' date='its outpatient.[/quote']

How did they come to that conclusion?

He said due to the stomach pain,not being able to swallow or keep things down,it sounds like a restriction but they'll know more when they go in. To be honest I really think I've chosen the wrong surgeon i didn't attend any classes.I had one psych appt,one nutritionist appt and within less than a month I was approv for surgery,I guess you get what you pay for and im paying now!!!

Do not see it that way.. I too did everything quick and also one visit for everything. It depends on ur body, and how you heal. I know everything is going to be ok for u. It happens..

Its more likely that your poych is swollen and angry due to eating outside of recommended guidelnes early on. Hopefully thats,all it is. If they thought you had a leak I would think they would do surgery right away. Thats deadly

I couldn't eat or drink and doctor said is was not a structure because I wast vomiting. He did scope for precaution and I had muscle spasms. I had to take some meds and it got better over time. My process for surgery was super quick and easy too. But the support groups are very helpful an it increases your success rate.

What are your symptoms of why they think I have a stricture or leak?

For me one day I can't get no fluids in, then the next day I do ok. I have a lot of pain on the lower and upper left side. I have a lot of tightness and pressure in my chest. I'm one week post op.

Good luck to you. I completely understand tyke emotions.

      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.
