I got hungry on post op day 6. I ate some Protein with no sugar and I feel better. I drink all the time. I had a Soup with chicken broth and eggs. I blended well and it was so good and filling. I had the sleeve. I was given so yogurt but it was too sweet because I had a dumping episode after that. Add some Protein in your diet slowly and see if that helps.

I am about to tell my mom that I had surgery 6 days ago. I did not want her to worry. Only a handful of people know. I will never tell most people that I did it in Mexico but even at 6 days post op I would do it again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

I'm sitting here in the hospital getting prepped for VSG and I'm feeling weirdly nervous and a little scared..
Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

there are several web sites for bariatric patients many of them have recipes and assistance with food plans. the emotional part is an area I do not feel is addressed nearly as well as it should be for bariatric patients. perhaps some counseling ( many insurances will pay) or overeaters anon if there is a chapter in your area. they are also on line and have phone meetings and pod casts. it is not for everyone but it has sure helped me develop a healthy relationship with food. you sound like you are really trying to address your health issues and I am proud of you. Depression is normal after any surgery it is just something you will have to deal with and is not a fun time. you have us so continue to reach out and vent when you need to. best of luck to you

I love the world according to eggface and bariatric foodie to be great sites. I like the posts on Bariatric Eating but find the administraters to be very scolding and harsh. we have had enough of that in our lives. if you can ignore them the recipes and eating plans are super

I am going to have surgery this week, I am a nurse. The thing I fear the most is the depression afterwards. I have already thought about the lost of food some how depressing. I realize that looking better will be the bonus. I want less weight on my feet. I want more energy. I wrote a list of reasons I need this and want to loose weight. I promise myself to read it when I am down. At the point you are now you can look how far you come and know that it's only going to be better. You want better health and your working in that direction. Some days are one moment at a time. This is your journey and you will do well.

Spent four hours at a Christmas party with over 200 people and waitresses kept coming up to me asking if I wanted a drink, food, Cookies... (i'm still on just liquids)
I came home and just couldn't stop crying. I laid in the shower and cried a nasty snotty cry and listed off out loud all the food I wanted to eat so bad.
While doing this and texting my friend who is 10 months PO I realized why I was so upset, why i'm obese.
I haven't ever told anyone, but I want to tell someone.. so here I am.
I grew up poor, dirt poor. We went days without eating and when there was food - you had to eat it fast before someone else did.
When I met my husband and had kids - I became a food hoarder and I buy tons of food, crazy amounts of food. $300+ a week crazy food...
I still eat fast. I still eat A LOT because I have that whole "eat it before someone else does" thing goin' on in my head.
I promised myself and my kids that I would never go without food, my family wouldn't.
So not eating brought up some really painful painful wounds.
I have a therapy appointment on the 20th.. I can't wait.

Glad to hear you're doing better. Stay encouraged and know that Jesus had and has your back.

Ahhhh @tauruslady5...
I knew someone would have to throw their smartas* comment in to be an a**hole. But hey, I like smarta**es and a**holes alike.
So to reply to you... I'm glad they fixed your brain at the same time and made you diet superwoman. I mean surely you weren't perfect before and that's the reason you had to have the surgery in the first place. I'm also sure you're the first one now to point out the fat a**es since you've lost all your weight AND doing it perfectly. Fabulous for you, Hun. Keep being your supportive self!'
Much love!! ????

My point is that NONE of us are going to be 100% perfect in our eating all the time. For goodness sake, we have to LIVE. So you go on vacation and overdo it a little? Get back on track the next day. Just because you break one plate unloading the dishwasher, doesn't mean you have to break the rest along with it.....
I know I'm a noob and in the "honeymoon" period of my surgery. But I'm also looking at this long term. If, ONCE IN A WHILE, I let my hair down a little and have a good time, I'm going to try to make sure I'm getting right back on track as soon as possible.I KNOW it gets harder as time goes on. But if I'm making good choices 95% of the time, I know I have a chance of keeping the weight off. I don't know. Maybe some of you can bookmark this thread and throw it in my face in a year or two when I'm struggling with maintenance, lol. I only know what I know NOW.
UGH. Sometimes the holier than thou attitudes on here are too much.
