Ale Nunez

My doctor said he didn't recommend it because you can potentially harm the organs in that region

Congrats !!! My surgery is next week, I'll be sharing pics too once I've lost some weight

God Bless.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My surgery is next week and I'm so nervous and excited. I hope to be as successful as you!

God bless!

I have the same diet as you @@Ale Nunez! I'm dying and hope I can make it 9 more days.

Today is my 3rd day, I felt really weak throughout the day, I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I'm not even hungry, just very very tired.

How are you feeling?

So I had weight loss surgery on September 2nd of last year and have lost, like, 53 pounds and I should have lost 80 by now and I have been more anxious and depressed since my surgery.

So I'm having a depression slump and I am looking at old pictures of me and crying because I really miss being able to eat to cope with my depression. Right now, even though I know its not true, I feel like I am utterly alone.

I know I have family and friends in other states but I feel alone, I feel like no one loves me or cares about me, I feel like I can't get better mentally and its an awful feeling because I am not sure how to cope anymore, I don't know what to do to cope.

I cannot over eat so I don't try to and writing and reading and crocheting doesn't help, makeup isn't even helping despite me doing a bunch of it. This is one thing most gastric bypass surgery patients go through, they're somewhat depressed because they can't eat like they used to and food is no longer fun.

Its not fun to go out and eat, its not fun to go to family gatherings and eat, its not fun to go on trips and eat. Eating in general is no longer enjoyable for me. I mean, yeah, food like my kale and fruit smoothie is enjoyable but things like cake, chicken, beef, hot dogs, Chinese food, etc (which I don't even eat anymore) isn't fun...

this surgery took away the joy in eating and I am happy I had the surgery but at the same time I miss being able to look forward to going out to eat, not looking forward to waiting 30 minutes before drinking or playing guess which foods your stomach can't tolerate today.

I'm sorry for this but my depression has gotten worse since the surgery so its a win lose for me but at least I'm getting healthy, I guess. I just feel like I cannot cope at points and I want to revert back to self harm, which I haven't done since 2013.

I can only imagine what you're going through. Food is also a big part of my life, however, I started going to Yoga, Reiki and Meditation sessions and I have been feeling so much better. My mood is much better too and I have more patience at home and work.

You're not alone. Message me if you ever feel like talking to somebody.

God bless ya!

Best of luck to you ladies, you will be in my prayers. My surgery date is on the 21st of this month and I'm on my 2nd day of the liquid diet. All of your posts are what's keeping me motivated during these days.

God bless ya!

You got this! Don't feel discouraged, it is hard to lose weight on our own. Have faith that you will be able to start making better food and portion choices.

You can do this girl!!!

We'll be having surgery the same day !!! I started my pre op liquid diet today. I have to do it for 2 weeks, I actually just found this forum. God knows I need all the support I can get :/

I start my liquid diet on Saturday for 12 days. Here to support because I need it as well

Thanks!! Today I woke up feeling a bit lightheaded, I'm assuming it's normal since I didn't eat yesterday. Had a hard time drinking all 5 shakes, only drank 4. Today I'll try to get in the 5th one too.

Curious to why no shrimp?

Because it's fibrous and hard to digest, my nurse told me also to stay away from it.

That's awesome! I'm on my 2 week pre op diet and feel like quitting :/

Your diet is so much better than mine. Mine consists of 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops, for 2 weeks :/

I'm thinking of taking 2 weeks. I have a friend who went back after a week and she's doing great, but I'd like a little more time to heal.

I'm allowed to have 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops. I'm on day 1 and totally hating it. My only hope is that time will pass and I will soon start dropping all this weight

I felt the same way for a very long time. I started gaining weight after my baby was born, I now weigh 30 lbs more than I did at my highest during pregnancy. I tried everything I could think of, even hiring a personal trainer. After a year of trying everything I could think of and seeing no results but instead gaining more weight and feeling miserable I decided to have the surgery.

At first I felt like a failure, but I realized that the only failure would be worrying what others think. I know I tried and at this point I don't care how I lose the weight as long as I lose it. I hate seeing myself in the mirror, I have very few clothes that fit and I look horrible in them. I don't care what anybody thinks, I'm doing this for me so I can continue living my life.

I'm hiding in my office at home, lights off, I'm super hungry and tired. Why do you feel that way?

I feel the same way, although I have more time to go. I'm sure its natural to have doubts about taking this huge step, however, I picture a better me, with more energy and self confidence. I'm sure I'll be a better wife and mom, AND I'll feel better about myself. So, why the hell not/?? lol

Good luck and God bless ya!

Only a letter!! That's awesome, my insurance required 6 months of visits with a dietician, clearances from psyc, GI, pulmonologist, cardiologist, blood work, ekg, chest xray ... My surgery is scheduled for 7-21 and I started my liquid diet today.

Best of luck!

God bless ya!

Congratulations!! I hope to have the same enthusiasm when I come out of mine lol

God bless

Hi there, I'm also having surgery in 2 weeks. I started my liquid diet today and feel very anxious about it. How is yours going?

I'm scheduled for 7-21 !! I'm beyond excited, I started the process on January. Today is my first day on my 2 week liquid diet and I found this place online because I'm looking for support.
