This is the most frustrating thread I have experienced in this forum, which is a first. Except for a few who are getting the crux of what i was trying to vent about.
It would seem that everyone has kept such a perfect track record that they have NEVER deviated or cheated...EVER. good for you!
I posted that I was disappointed about my expectation that hunger would be diminished as I had read it would be. my hunger never abated and I expressed disappointment in an expectation that was created about that from my research prior to surgery. I feel discouraged that I am not experiencing what I had READ and was told in pre surgery stages concerning hunger and appetite diminishing. I hope someone reads this and gets a picture that it may also not go that way with you. Some people seem to do well with not feeling as much hunger, but apparently that is not so for each person. I actually never heard of that when I was researching the VSG
I expressed that my parents had come back with me after surgery and that there was some food items here left from before I travelled. A total of 2 Protein Bars and some dark chocolate and the mac pie left from my parents trip. I ate them. Because I felt starving in addition to the 'healthy' foods I had pre prepared and eating all of the stuff that is on my list to eat. You are all getting on as if I have lived in Burger King for the last 2 days. Please keep things in their correct perspective
I am encouraged to see that some people have never deviated or struggled with going off track and that persons have overcome their hunger. Which makes those who struggle with it feel really special LOL
Ah well. Thank you

I try to remember to set my fork down between bites. It is difficult to eat slowly when my family scarfs everything down. I try and keep a conversation going because I can't talk with my mouth full.

Hi Kate! I too am an OR nurse! I had bypass on March 26th! Yes! Getting my fluids in has been a huge struggle at work- I went back after 5weeks and should have taken longer as I was exhausted the first couple of weeks! As you know- most ORs are hurting for nurses- so I guess I bargained before I returned to work as I knew they needed me-I asked my manager and director if I could keep a water bottle in our sub sterile so I can step out occasionally to drink- thankfully they agreed. I’m good if I get 32oz in while at work- I have had to leave work early as was pretty dehydrated and weak- couldn’t even process clearly- the next week got 2liters of fluid( after 6sticks as I was so dehydrated!) but felt so much better! Listen to your body- talk to your supervisors - they are in medical field and hopefully will work with you!

I have been off 5 weeks so far; my leave is 6 weeks. I am an O.R. nurse, and the job can be very physical at times. In addition to that, getting fluids and Protein in can be a real challenge when there are no scheduled breaks; you take one when you can. It may be 5-6 hours into my shift depending on what surgery I'm involved in.
It's also hard to predict "bumps in the road" during your recovery. I lost a week or so due to severe swelling/unable to tolerate fluids. Ended up in the ER for fluids. I had seriously low blood pressure by week 3 that caused dizziness, almost passing out a few times. Come to find out, I no longer needed to take my blood pressure medicine!!!
Everyone's journey is unique. I personally would have been unable to do my job until week 4 or 5. I plan on enjoying this last week off while I feel great!

Yes everyone is different I am 3 months out and only can eat 1 egg or 1 sausage patty not together .and some days I want more. Just maybe add a little more fluids in to see if that helps.i would mix a Protein Shake with fairlife lactose milk to get both in.good luck and all will b well u got this [emoji3]

Perhaps it wasn't deliberate but a mistake, if people are using mobile phones it may be difficult to select the emoticon that was intended and they may not have realised with emoticon was selected.

Sigh. Ok. What surgery are you looking into? Why are you looking into that surgery? Why is your wife not supportive? Like, exactly what issues does she have with the surgery you've decided upon? If you don't know, might be a good time to sit down and find out what she's against and why.

Being open and honest is the only way to go here, going out on a limb, I'm going to say she's not "unsupportive", she's more scared about your decision. But that's just my call, I mean, I don't know either of you and you've given us zero information other than she's not supportive. More info would certainly make things entire thread more useful.

@Francine2. I've been trying to right my mind for a lifetime and it still isn't ready.

Hi
I am new to forum but just wanted to share my journey. I had vsg 2011 .then Gerd really bad hernia along with my tummy getting twisted my Dr not sure how it happen but it did. Revision was in March 1st 2 months not so good but I am bouncing back really well. Didn't want to make this to long. Lol
