Small Set back I hope..



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys I just need support :thumbdown: I went to my Drs office on Thursday because for a couple of weeks I had really bad acid reflux all of a sudden.. I had my fill on 04/15 and was fine until just recent.. anyway he said he thought I was ok and he ordered an upper GI for me, and prescribed me Proilosac, and told me he was on vacation all this week so no rush for the upper GI because I was able to eat and drink ok.. well go figure come friday night I was unable to eat or drink, hold any liquid down or food, I went to the ER because I knew I was dehydrated and they treated me for GERD and gave me fluids thru an IV.. I thought I was fine on sunday I felt a little better and then sunday night it started again could not keep any fluids down or food.. went back to the ER on monday where they rehydrated me and took out .75 of the fluid:thumbdown: now I am so worried I am going to gain weight again.. the dr told me to give it about 2 weeks and then I can get a small fill and we will go from there but I am so close to my goal I am at 185 and my goal is 175 has anyone else been in this situation and can offer reassurance I am so sad and worried!

Thanks

This does sound like just a small set back.

Like you, I'm so close to my goal.

I recently gained some weight (long trip away from home..blah blah blah..excuses, excuses) and have been feeling just terrible about it. But the reality of the situation is that this is not a sprint to the finish line. I'm in this for life and if I have one bad month, it's going to be ok.

Unlike me, the set-back you're experiencing is no fault of your own. Try to watch what you're eating during these next couple of weeks - give your stomach a bit of a rest - and then get that fill and be back on track.

I feel so certain that this is a momentary blip for you.

xoox

      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.
