Having a bad night. Been crying and don't know if ive messed up my life. Still so sore after 4 days. I haven't taken my anxiety meds in 5 days (til tonight). I just want to sleep and cry. I know (I hope) it'll pass but I feel like I want to wake up and this'll all be over :(

Anybody feel the same at first?

I believe most of us felt that way at smell point :). Major surgery, anesthesia, crazy diet, exhaustion, and for you no mess...it's a set-up to make you think you're crazy! I was an emotional mess for 6 weeks. SIX WEEKS!!!! At 5 weeks I looked at the other PA in my office and said I was giving it one more week, if I was still sad and crying in another week she was going to have to medicate me. Rest, eat well (as well as you can anyway), and try to be patient with yourself and this whole process. Also know that you are not alone, we're here with shoulders to cry on anytime. And no one else in the universe understands as well as we do!

Six weeks!? OMG. I hope not. Looking back, would you do it again? My son's sitting here, wanting to know if I'm crying b/c of him :(

Ughhh. It'll pass though.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!!! I'm sure it'll clear up faster for you. I was just a big old baby drama queen :)

I'm 4 days out and having a very hard time. Trying to reassure myself I didn't ruin my life by doing this. And I'm starving. I have cried every day since. I know it will get better with time. But I understand you totally.

Thank you. That does help. The thought of having to go back to work Monday is horrible! My mom has to take me to the store tomorrow so maybe I'll feel better getting out. Thank you. I just keep reading all the good postings and wonder if I'm the only one feeling bad. Anyway...hope everybody else is doing great! :)

Thank you. I feel better right now. Went ahead and took more pain meds (trying to get em out before work) and apologized to my baby boy and now we're rubbing each others feet! LOL. Just got a little emotional. I'm glad I joined this group to help me out and let me know it's not just me. Thanks to all of 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.
