5 days Post OP - sad, depressed



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 days post Op, I can barely get anything down, I have all these Premier Protein drinks I cant drink, I have gas pain and can't fart and My husband keeps eating the things I like In front of me.

I just want a small bowl of Lucky Charms mannnnnn. This is Hell, it's a absolutely terrible experience and I wish I never got this stupid sleeve.

This is exactly what I said to myself on day 2 - couldn't believe I'd done this to MYSELF! Now, three weeks out, the regrets are all over. It does get better and better :-)

Get you some gas-x and tell dude he gonna have to go in the next room with that food. You've only been out of the hospital a few days it will get better every day. sip something every 10-15 minutes and when he eats you go outside and take a walk. you will be amazed at how much it improves the gas. this is not hell. hell is being trapped in a body that holds you back from being the person you want to be. this is like purchasing a one way ticket on a crappy bus out of hell. sure the journey will not be easy or comfortable and will suck like hell but each pound down gets you closer to your goal and baaaaby when you get there you will enjoy it. keep your eyes on the prize. he flaunts his food today you flaunt your body tomorrow!

Everyone reacts differently to those initial days of misery. I laughed at myself for being an idiot and doing this to myself. A few months later I laughed at myself for laughing at myself when I was cleaning out the fat clothes from my closet for the 3rd time. :)

I was having a tough day today myself. I just wished I was at my goal weight, getting dressed for saturday night, headed out for a night of flirting and debauchery. Shoot, my eyes even acted like they wanted to get all teary cause i'm posted up in front of the computer in sweat pants with a bottle of Water instead. But then my inner reasonable person reminded me that I am currently well on my way to being the me I used to be. Once again having choices and being comfortable in my own skin doing whatever it is my heart pleases. We have taken the difficult steps to make the biggest impact on our lives and our health we could ever make. If it was easy everybody would do it. Sometime we just have to remind our selves of our own strength.

I am five days out also. I really like the peach fuzzy navel nectar and Unjury powdered chicken Soup. The first couple of days I was like I cannot get these fluids down. Today came real close to it. Keep at it sip by sip, don't gulp. Just think in a few months how amazing you look and it will be so worth it.

Gawd that first week was horrible. I agree. Focusing on Water and broth helps.

Hang in there it's get easy with time. I was the same situation as you I got depressed and regretted the surgery at first but now I'm 4 months post op. I'm glad I did I it. It's still hard at time but continue drinking your Water n Protein ,,,walk walk and walk ,, I still crave me favorite food but then I see how I'm loosing the weight and inches it encourage me to continue,, just hang on. You won't regret it later.

I am in the same boat. My husband keeps eating out all of the things I wish I could eat right now. Its so hard and I feel regretful myself most of the time. Everyone on here keeps saying it will get better but its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

      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.
