Cryimg and feeling down



Recommended Posts

Rant all you want! Seems to be the day for it! I didn't eat or drink even near the limit today. Felt like throwing up with everything. Will kick it in high gear tomorrow! I had bought a lot of samples before surgery, in all different flavors. Now they are all too sweet. So much for being prepared. Should've waited and saved my money. :)

I say that everyday... liquids I can do pretty well, Protein not so much! I will be 4 wks post op tomorrow!

Sometimes it is hard to look at the positives...I feel better physically, but sometimes now it seems all anyone wants to talk about is my surgery. But other times all of the positive energy coming my way freaks me out. 9 weeks post op and changes still happen on a hourly basis. I just try to focus on the positives, but sometimes it can be hard. Just hang in there, we have all dealt with amazing challenges in one way or the other and I am confident we will get through these as well!

Thanks for the words. My issue is not like that. I'm 9 days out and doing well. Just struggling with the hormonal changes. I'm feeling positive just cry and feel down for no reason at times. That's why it doesn't make sense except explained by hormones.

Reading all this reminds me when I had my surgery 3 years ago how sad and angry I was at the beginning, but it gets better with time, easier. Wish I would have had a venue like this. Just hang on, all these feelings are normal for what's going on with your bodies right now. It's all worth it

Our doc has said if you struggle with Protein to call the office. I would start with that.

Ladies I can say this first I'm 5 weeks out and just started to feel "normal". Heads clearer, I feel strong again, finally feel up to a little exercise like walking and going out with friends on occasion . I felt like I was recovering forever. We need to be patient and I'm not lol I want it all done yesterday. Since our weather has finally become nice go sit on your porch for a few minutes a couple times a day feel that sun we waited so long for sip a refreshing drink smell that fresh air and relax. It will all be so mucho better very very soon. Your actually on your way to a better you!

      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.
