I'm so emotional!



Recommended Posts

Ok. I admit it. Right now I'm happy as a lark. 30 min ago not so much. I did the unthinkable and literal was screaming at the top of my lungs at my HS senior son while my younger son had a guest over. I mean I tore into the kid. And he's a really good kid. He had his wisdom teeth out Thursday and I've been caring for him since. He is a PIA when he is sick or down. Very very anal, type A kind of kid and normally I can deal with it. I practiced dentistry for 20 years. I think I know my stuff lol. But he has questioned me every step of the way since the surgery about meds, foods to eat, cleaning his mouth you name it. You'd think he'd flipping believe me!!! His gf also had hers out this week. I should say both her parents are dentists as well. But apparently they know better than I. Ginas mom had her do this, Ginas doctor told her that.

Well. I lost it today. And I mean stark raving lunatic mad screaming. I need to apologize to him.

Is this normal post surgery (10 days out)????

I've seen mention in the forums of hormones going cuckoo with the early, rapid weight loss for bypass or sleeve. Someone will come by to talk about it, I'm sure. It may well be what you're experiencing.

Poor mom, poor son! An apology with some explanation seems in order. What really caught my attention is that you and his girlfriend's parents are all dentists. What are the odds unless her parents are friends from dental school? Otherwise you all live in a Twilight Zone town.

You'll be fine.

Nope! Lol. There were three dental schools in Chicago way back then- I went to Northwestern University the went to University of Illinois about 5 years ahead of me!

I did hugely apologize to him. He accepted, hugged me and said its ok. What a kid. I'm going to miss the heck out of him next fall. All of him but the anal retentive part lmao.

Thanks for the words of encouragement too!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
