Video: Emotional Mind Games After Surgery

Thank you all for posting. Gosh, it's so great to know that we all are having similar thoughts! I mean who else would get the thought of looking at a body part in amazement and second-guessing that it's yours.

I hate that we have similar struggles, temptations, bad habits - but it's good to know you're not alone.

Have a great Monday guys!

Dr Vuong is one of those self-appointed Gurus that you hate, liathe, tolerate or adore on YOUTUBE. Last time I was over there, you couldn't swing a stethoscope without hitting one !😷 The only one I tend to believe is Dr Matthew Weiner, he usually makes sense in his videos.

It's so true! And I'm with you on hopefully finding a good balance. Since Nov, I've either overcompensated by making 3 course meals for the family or been leaving them high and dry because I'm so disinterested. Hopefully, things settle down and normalize where food isn't such a big deal, ya know...

yeah my girlfriend works nights from home so she eats during the day. she is on her own LOL we do get to eat dinner together on her days off but we do a lot of food prep on sunday for the week.

      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.
