Must get back on track.....need a support/accountability buddy...sleeved 4/13



Recommended Posts

Can you tell what the pouch test is? I'm so ashamed to say I have gained most of my weight back. I would love to chat with someone that understands my frustration. I got surgery Oct. 2012 and weighed 223 and my lowest I was 157 6 months later. I have slowly gone back to bad habits and feel ashamed to go back to my dr.

Number 1. Don't be ashamed. Your doctor and NUT are all apart of a support system who understands that this is a real struggle. You need to identify your habits. Is it a certain time of the month that you like certain foods or are you eating poorly every day? Identify the cycle and don't hide from the truth. Understanding what is happening is the first step and your doctor can help you with that. They have seen it all and this included situations much worst off than yours. Don't feel judged just attack this situation. It's the hiding from reality of the situation that will make things feel much worst then they really are. You can do this just like you did it before! The first thing to inspect is your mind. Make that appt!

Does the sleeve not keep you full? I am scheduled for my surgery May 17th and I never want to be where I am now again in life ever which is 210. I was hoping that the sleeve will be a tool that suppresses appetite so that I could make better decisions. Can I ask you what has been your experience with your appetite?

I was sleeved October 2014. List 55 lbs pretty quick and then have been slipping back into old habits and can't get anymore weight off. I understand the frustration, embarrassment. I'm here for support and to support others! I will try the 5 day pouch test with one 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.
