Woke up not feeling so good today.

Is it normal to second guess myself. Wondering if I made the right decision. I'm sure this feeling of uncertainty will pass. Right now I'm just a little down in dumps. Time to make another Protein Drink.

We just have to remind ourselves, hey, yes we decided to change our lives dramatically, and yes that means we can't eat whatever we want, but hey, we will be way skinnier and way healthier than we've ever been in our lives. IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY SECOND OF MISERY. Maybe you need a little more variety in what you are consuming.

Depression can happen. Talk to your PCP to see if you need to explore your options if this continues. Mourning food is tough in our fragile states. I use positive self talk, it really helps me.

Thanks Salonboi

I'm sure it's just a passing thing. And I also think your correct when you say I'm not giving myself enough variety. I'm stuck in that drink Water and have a chocolate Protein Shake.

I have an appt. this week with my NUT and I'm sure she will have some suggestions. I also get the LiquaCel delivered tomorrow.

Thanks for your positive feedback , it helps. And now I will kick myself in the butt and just push forward. What was the alternative for me , to just remain overweight , which was a fight for me everyday also. This too shall pass. ????

The Liqacel really is like a party in my mouth, flavor wise. Having had the Protein Drinks for so long will drive anyone crazy lol. And yes time to "kick yourself in the butt and move forward " cause there is no other choice. ???? we want skinniness and our health over anything else ???? and we are making that happen as we speak. We are actually working towards that goal now, and that makes me really excited. To finally be on the proverbial "Losers Bench" is an amazing thought, after years of accepting my overweight fate. But not anymore ????

Hi peeps. Had a rough night, but wasn't to do with the surgery my room mate gad a bad night so he kept me up. After I finally fell asleep I slept for 2 hours and woke from the pain. But doing good now have been sipping Water like a champ. She has me sipping 1 Oz every 15 mins and taught me how to take pills. Actually feeling really good. Been walking around alot and sitting in a chair. I'm prolly jinxing myself lol. Anyway how are you guys doing? And how is the other may 11th person doing?

Ohh been have a few hiccup fits, they don't last long though thankful for that. They hurt.

That sucks you had to have a roommate. It's all their fault. That's great about the Fluid intake. For me it was rather simple drinking. The hiccups from hell I had, first few days, we're not fun at all. Thank goodness it was just those first days, not anymore for me lately. Hopefully it's the same for you. And the walking really does help with gas pain, doesn't it!?

Sounds like your doing well. Keep up with the water sipping. And agree walking helps. I didn't have the hiccup issue but can imagine they hurt. Wish you much success with your recovery. Keep us all posted.

I'm feeling better today, more upbeat. Thanks for your encouragement yesterday. I guess the kicking myself in the butt worked. I'm in it now so gonna remain positive and enjoy being on the losers bench with the rest of you all. No looking back.

Glad to hear it, pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, is the only option sometimes. Glad you were able to do that. And yes sitting on the losers bench is an amazing feeling, that comes with a lot of personal responsibility to ourselves. I think we've got it in us. We've come this far. Why stop now.

I had my bypass May 11th!:)

I have 7 very large incisions in my abdomen that my surgeon had to make large because of all this muscle I had in my abdomen from my basketball days. Otherwise, everything has been going great! I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and since I've been struggling with pain. They prescribed my meds for every 6 hours which I promptly called and asked if I could do them every 4 which wasn't an issue! Other than that, I'm feeling better every day! I'm so glad to have other may people out there to talk through things!!!:)

      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.
