Surgery was the EASY part



Recommended Posts

I am currently going through alot. I was sleeved on Aug 14.. been an emotional wreck and eating the wrong foods.... I've been eating crackers whole grain bread fun size candies pretty much all the crap I used to eat just less of it and I feel like sh!t.... I drink my Protein Shakes and take my Vitamins but I am not caring about myself how I should. I know my situation at home is causing the stressful eating but my only solution is leaving my husband and that is very difficult as we have 2 children. I don't know why I'm venting her I just don't kjow what to do with myself. I've also been stalled for 2 weeks now. Lost 20 pounds was 286 now 266

Try to remember why you had the surgery in the first place and get back to your original goals. I'm sorry you are having slit going on. Most of us have problems with our spouses before, during and after surgery. The surgery is only a tool for you to use to kick ass and put yourself and health in line so you can be there for your kids. ( I'm saying this as if I'm talking myself out of self sabotage because that is my worry. I put myself last and suffer emotionally and sabotage my health for my husband). Hang in there. Put down the carbs and candy and pick up something that will help and not hinder your progress. Try locking yourself in the bathroom with some music, read a book in the tub or go running till those bad habits are no longer your go to crutch. If your insurance covers a therapist then make an appointment and get help with those things you don't think you can handle on your own. Don't let yourself down. You've got this!!

I am sorry you are having a hard time.
This journey is not easy.
I can relate to the emotional problems.

      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.
