Bypass Blues

I'm 3.5 months post op RNY down 47lbs and Am really starting to hate food!! I want to eat but can't eat what I want! It's a vicious cycle! Dont get me wrong, I eat, get my Protein in but still day dream about shit I physically can not eat and it's a little depressing! Please tell me that this little phase passes??? It just feels like a chore now, counting calories, counting carbs and protein... I mean it's my life now so eventually it won't feel this way right!? I don't regret my choice, I'm so happy I had the chance to go thru with it but damn! It's hard work, harder than ppl would ever imagine!

I can feel for you. Seriously well ...

You will eventually grow used to it. I normally eyeball stuff. I'm farther out than you are though. It does get better but food can be an issue at times.

Looking forward to it just becoming a habit

I am 1 year post op on gastric bypass RNY operation. I struggled for a long time with the regiment. It took me 6 months to reach a happy state. Now things are O.K. I have described my journey in a short article titled How I Survived Bariatric Surgery. The article includes recipes that helped me through it. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

time to look for other things to add into your life that will make you happy. for many of us, food is our life... hobby, friend, preoccupation. food isnt that important anymore. time to move on and expand your life to include new things you can love and will bring you pleasure.
