lol well our moods are equally bad! the only time i get frustrated is when my aunt asks me have i tried to eat yet? now... she doesnt know i had WLS but i told her that i had a hernia repaired & that i am on a liquid diet because of it. now WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ASKING IF IM TRYING TO EAT???? smh! my mom said well she doesnt know u had WLS. so what? i bet she doesnt know WLS patients cant eat food right away so whats the difference if i say its a hernia? ive reminded her atleast 6x but she still asks. makes me want to go nuts!!!! >

lissa, u r so right but once it starts, theres no stopping it! it just sucks badly but i guess we have to deal with what is handed to us. i cant wait til the pain goes away so i could start doing things to keep me focused.

i am so sorry about your loss! i have those isopure drinks & they just gross me out!!!! ughhhh the thought makes me want to throw up

i feel the same exact way about my past relationship. i mean, it had love & affection when i provided it but none from him unless i forced it out. as far as having a sister & mom, thats great! i think i may be adopted because my family is not affectionate whatsoever! im the opposite. i have a sibling who lives in florida (im in ny) & he called me yesterday for a conversation that lasted 1minute (NO EXAGGERATION) & he asked how i was feeling & i said im in pain & his reaction was, "well you chose to do this so now deal with it." i stood quiet. it hurt my feelings that he had nothing comforting to say to me. when i told my mom, she laughed & said shes sure he didnt mean it. i stood quiet then too!

21yrs.. wow! i fear for you as far as support goes. its really needed. you need someone there letting you know they have your back. well atleast, i know i do. i am very grateful for my mom but shes more reserved. im not asking to be babied. im asking for convo.. keep my mind going. im alone too much & it gives me time to think & thinking can be dangerous!!! other than that, im fine!

aw! i have a butterfly tattooed on my lower back. it represents growth. i think the holidays have a part to do with my down mood. this christmas was the worst ever. dealing with a 9.5yr break up.. not having that "love & affection" that youre so used to & want so bad during surgery is hard. a lot of my "friends" try to give me tough love and i guess i appreciate it but right now, im so vulnerable with everything that tough love isnt what i neeed. i need a hug, i need a physical encounter. not sexual or anything but like a hug.. or to talk face to face. thats what i need right now. i miss it.

awww kathy u r such a sweet heart! <3 i do feel guilty because they all have their own things going on & i feel uncomfortable asking them to listen to me whine.

merry christmas to you all!

i feel selfish requesting time from people! :/

i do but surgery has intesified it for sure.

the gas pains actually stop? i dont know why but i thought they would be there forever. lol. i honestly wish i had aremote so i could fast fwd until february! i just want to feel normal again

i am 5 days post op. physically, im good! getting down my liquids. maybe not as much as im supposed to but itsa work in progress. im not taking in Protein because the shakes are just gross! i know... i know! but im being honest. i do plan on experimenting on powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury soon. i do laps around my livingroom coffee table to help with gas. but emotionally, im down! i feel like im complaining all the time & i hate it but its because im so emotional. my usual "friends" barely call or text me. i do have sleeve supporters & im grateful but its not the same. i have my mom here but shes more to herself which leaves me to myself! pre-op, i always read that you need a support system & i never understood it! i always felt like people were just too emotional & just needed to go lay down & take a nap some where! but now... im definitely feeling it!!!! this is an emotional part of this journey that in no way was i prepared for! but im coping! sorry, just wanted to vent.

thats how i feel about the shakes!!!!!! omg, the thought of it just makes me want to throw up cuz i absolutely DO NOT want it!!!

1.5 weeks? wow! i hope mine speeds up!!! i have to say that its getting better! its hurting less but still hurting! lol. i wish i could fast fwd about 2-8weeks!! lol

thank you so much

i cant do the smell or taste. thats the thing that kills me. i rather starve to death than ever smell it. lol. omg i just gagged thinking about it. i just cant!!! i cant. my stomach feelsweak. u know how some ppl smell throw up & start throwing up too? thats how i feel about protein!

aw!!! thanks! the pain isnt too bad today! i guess that means its getting better. i have not taken any pain meds today. im dealing with it all on my own. i have unjury & chicken unjury. i havent tried them in huge fear that ill throw it all up! how did u do the Jello Protein?

at this point, i dont care about the weight loss! i mainly just want to get rid of the pain. i dont manage pain very well so itshard. once the pain is gone, ill worry about the lost! lol. im on clear liquids so im only sipping Water. i need to start getting Protein in but itsso hard. the taste or even the thought makes me want to throw up!!!!!!! i dont know its hard. i bought some muscle milk to taste. lets see how that goes

ive only been drinking Water. sipping & doing laps around my livingroom! & i been taking pain meds but tryna manage it on my own. i do have the medicine cups but been drinking out of a plastic bottle so that i dont have to keep refilling over & over but i do put Jello in there & when i do chicken broth, ill put it in the cups.

i cant wait til my pain goes away!

i just cant wait til it goes away.

i knocked out at 8:10ish... & woke up in recovery at like 10ish. i think its like 1.5hrs. good luck to you! itsdef not easy & while going thru the healing process, i can find a billion & 1 things to complain about but im sure a lot is off of emotions as well. i think a support syatem is highly needed & im not talking about someone to call or text.. im talking about face to face. my support system is small so i think it has an emotional toll.

i havent drank any protein at all

man oh man.. i knew there would be pain. i knew it would be like my gall bladder but worse (since gall bladder is only 3 incisions) but last time i was with my ex who catered to me... & i was able to eat whatever i wanted! i think thats the biggest struggle. not only are you in so much from the surgery but you cant even turn to food for some comfort. although I DO NOT regret surgery but it does make me emotional. :'(
