I HATE I GOT THIS STUPID SURGERY!

[theexfatgirl 25]

I am 8 days post op and I’m over it!!! I haven’t been getting in my Protein. I am craving food and can’t eat crap. For all of this I would rather stay fat!

Stick to your teams plan. Its still early. The effort you put in now will pay off over the next few months. This surgery is 10%Physical and 90% mental. Hang in there.

Sorry you are struggling. Many of us had buyer’s remorse right after surgery. This is a big adjustment.

Your new stomach is healing. At first, it’s hard to get your Protein and Water in. It gets easier over time. Hunger is real in the first stages. I was angry about seeing food commercials and anyone eating real food around me. Hunger is more manageable as you progress to real food.

Congratulations on your surgery.

Just curious - are you having complications that prevent you from getting in the Protein. Are you on shakes?

I am having surgery on the 13th ... this post is an eye opener.

No I don’t have any complications. Half of your stomach is removed so it’s hard to take in a lot of anything right now.

I will be glad when I progress to real food. Right now it’s just horrible.

Sorry to hear you're struggling. It wasn't that long ago I was right there with ya. It's definitely a process and can wear on you physically and mentally. If you're tracking with a food diary it may benefit you speak to your team for support as well as to address any issues you're having. This is a tough journey but you can do it... you're not alone!!! Congrats on your surgery!!!!!

I just had surgery a week ago so I feel you! Everyday I have to mentally tell myself that I did this for the right reasons and it will get better, because I know it will get better so hopefully you will eventually get to that point and see that. Right now every time I see real food I want it, but I know that’s only because I am on full liquids. Hopefully as you progress stages it will get easier, you got this!!

You got surgery for a reason and that's to get healthier and to curb your eating habits..

You should have been prepared for these changes before surgery...

[theexfatgirl 25]

You can never prepare enough for this surgery UNTIL you go through it. Keep trolling with your insensitive comment!

Prior to surgery you're meant to get psychologist help and learn all the changes before you have surgery okay.. I did and I'm doing well..

[theexfatgirl 25]

That is so awesome for you!! You still replying on my post tho. Get off of it!

A suggestion that has really helped me, I purchased a clear Protein (isopure) and I add it to my water bottle and sip sip sip all day long, that way I get both my fluids and an additional 20 grams of protein just by drinking. It’s really helped me hit at least 60 grams of protein.

Do you have a Sams Club near you? They have Protein Water with no carbs and 15 g protein per bottle. And it doesn't totally taste like a$$...

Protein2O

I haven't had my surgery yet but have been drinking it for a while and certainly will use it after surgery.

Hang in there, it WILL get better!
