Surgery Date....October 8th



Recommended Posts

I'm not hungry at all... just emotionally hungry, getting a divorce too, since hubby wasn't supportive and chose to party while I was in the hospital so I think it's causing a lot of my pain and emotional buttons saying to eat

Im sorry men can be so dumb. When you have your new body he will only get to look & wish he supported you. My husband has been with me every step. The good thing about this surgery is you cant eat or it will make you very sick. I have realized since the surgery on how much my life revolved around food. We all have these food eating emotions & hope some day these emotions will pass or improve. The pain is really there I tried to come off them to early because they made me sleepy big mistake. You need to stay on top of it. If the pain catches up its so much harder to get under control. Do you have anyone at home to help you?

I have my 14 year old daughter who helps me. Got some go workers trying to find a room for me and my daughter to rent so I can be away from the emotional abuse.

I'm thankful for a co-worker who went thru the surgery last year, she's taking me to a pre op panel, she thinks it will helps speaking to people planning on getting the surgery.

Thats good I am glad you have support. One thing I learned a long time ago is love doesnt hurt. I bet you will do better away from all the abuse. Plus you can show your daughter what not to put up with. I wish there was more I could do to help.

Sorry to hear that but there are a lot of folks who will listen and talk to you on here. I have a good support group at home and on here.

Keep sipping flavored Water as it helps.

I have work next Friday but I think I am going to postpone it another week to make sure I am okay

Had mine October 6th too. So far, so good. Following everything the doctor said and trying to get all my Vitamins down.

Do you have chewables? They go down well.

Congrats on your surgery

Have you taken it with crystal light as that helps a lot

So happy everyone is recovering well. I've been able to hold down whatever I eat with no problems. Dream of crunch , even a salad: ) I've been doing cream of chicken Soup made with skim milk and drained, Tomato Soup. V8 juice, sugar free pudding thinned with milk, cream of wheat thinned a lot with cinnamon and sugar free maple Syrup, Protein Shakes. Taking Vitamins well.

      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.
