Ugh..

Anyone who thinks getting WLS is the easy way out can kiss my ass! Lol thats all I have to say about that!

 

I have been struggling lately, it really sucks. To me it seems the further out I get the harder it does, I see some people early out saying how hard it is, yes it was hard, but around that time I was so turned off by food, I would forget to eat and had no interest in it at all!

I could watch others around me eat yummy foods and not mind at all. Now it seems like lately all I think about is food, I dont know why. I have been eating like crap lately, I want to eat when I am not hungry at all, I know its all head hunger and all that, but its just as hard to say no.

 

No food upsets me, so I can basicly eat anything if I wanted to. I feel like I am so new to all of this even though I have been sleeved for almost 9 months, Im not sure how much to eat at each meal, I try to see how much others are that are the the same ammount of time out and some people are eating 3oz, then I see some saying 5oz, its very confusing, I guess I am just scared about gaining weight back.

 

I've also been very tired lately, I havent had my labs done yet (so I know very bad) I have no insurance, so it will be at least over $1,000, I dont have that kind of money right now, my mom told me she would help me, but I will have to wait for that, I think maybe some of my levels may be off? I dont know, but I am still taking my vitamins on a regular basis.

 

Anyways, I know Im rambleing, I have no one in RL who has gone threw WLS so sometimes its frustrating when no one understands what you are going threw.

I would recommend calling your surgeon and asking how much you should be eating at a time. My surgeon and nutritionist said that once I'm able to eat a regular diet, I will eat only 3 oz total if I can stomach it. That's 2 oz of protein and 1 oz of fruit or veggies with it and eat the protein first. I would't eat the 5 oz?? We have a different relationship with food now. I wouldn't say to completely ignore cravings but really try to determine what could be causing you to get the urge to eat like that. Are you stressed? Your levels may be off too if you're feeling like that or could be because you aren't eating well like you suggested. Make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet. Keep your head up!
