I AM NOT Sure if i did the right decision or not (gastric Plication surgery)



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

All my life I had issue with food it was the only thing I do if I am stress or emotional I always feel better after, in 2017 i was 140 lb I did the ballon and I only lost 8.8 lb, wasn’t really in control of myself in terms of food and drinks. in a year and half I gain 4.4 lb so I was 136 lb I did the gastric Plication last Saturday 27 April been promised by the dr that the pain is less then the ballon and I can leave same day. I was dying I was so much in pain I had to stay the night in hospital and left the next day but went again to emergency the next day for the pain. I have been out 5 days ago and I am still in pain :(. I feel hungry and tired all time. I am also craving food all the time. The nutrition and doctor Are giving me different answers of what I should and shouldn’t eat.

For example I asked if I can have a Cappuccino with no sugar my nutrition said okay as long as it’s skinny milk but my doctor said no. An hour after I asked if I can have a very small spoon of ice cream free sugar to get energy my doctor allow it but nuturation don’t.

So they are not alright in what I should eat and not.

Now I feel bad with all the pain, money and hassle I have been too. Is it worth it??

i really don’t know what do with the hunger I have and the pain?!

Please write me from your experience some tips and advices.

      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.
