Anxious about going on vacation



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm Glenda, I lost 108 lbs on my own, then decided to have gastric bypass to get to my goal weight.

I'm so glad to join this group. I'm 3 weeks post surgery down 29lbs. I have problems getting my Water and food in. I get so full so quickly. I'm afraid I'm not getting the proper nutrition.

My fear is my upcoming vacation I'm going to Costa Rica. I'll be 10 weeks post surgery then. Very apprehensive about how I'll manage my food. Help please.

Congrats on your WL so far!! Since you have problems just getting your Water and Protein in and filling up so quickly, doesn't sound like you should have any problems with eating just because you are in a different place. I just had surgery last Tuesday. Normally by the end of a long holiday weekend, I would feel miserable both physically and mentally after pigging out and drinking all weekend - I had absolutely no desire to eat or drink - it was awesome! I would make sure not to drink alcohol though, cuz any control you do need to maintain will likely go right out the window - lol! Enjoy your vacation!!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
