HELP! I'M SUPER NERVOUS



Recommended Posts

Thank you. I just can't help myself and I've been feeling really down about it. If so petrified that this surgery won't work out for me. What then? I've been trying to hold it together but honestly I don't know how to take it. Sorry for being such a downer

You are causing yourself undue stress which won't help your body heal and lose. I know you know the surgery isn't magical. Losing the weight is a partnership between us and the surgery. If we do our part, the surgery will help us as the tool it is meant to be. Relax, follow your doctor's plan and focus on this journey.

I am 8 weeks out and on my second stall which has now been 10 days. Do I want to get frustrated? Yes. Do i wish the stall was over? Yes. Do I truly believe that I won't lose weight ingesting as little food as I do? No. Our bodies are very fine tuned machines and are going to do what is best for them. We can only support that by doing the best we can and more.

We are all in this boat together. Don't stress yourself out. It won't help 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.
