Hi everyone. I have never had depression in my entire life not even as a big girl. Now 6 wks put of surgery and down from 200 to 168 lbs I am being faced with all sorts of unstable emotions. My relationship with my partner is struggling. He isn't really the affectionate type to begin with but lately he has been distancing even more or so I feel. I feel rejected at times, feel like he comes up with vague excuses for his behavior. All he keeps saying is "your going through major image changes, I dont think I fit in anymore" he claims that I am always needing massive attention from him. But when one is feeling lonely, and rejected how could one not feel needy. This whole thing is just too much for me to handle. Its stressing me out to the point where I **** down my stomach completely. I made an appointment to see the bariatric physiologist tomorrow and I asked him to come with me. We have been together for 6 yrs and living together for 3.5 yrs. I dont know what to do. I feel we are all going through all sorts of changes. I want to be able to take control of my emotions and direct my attention on something else. I hate feeling this way and feel out of control. Any advice is welcome [emoji17] [emoji120] [emoji30] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Omgash I am 4 weeks post op today. Just like you Ibwas great pre ops, during and even 2 wks post. But honestly the translation to pureed/soft has not been easy for me. I struggle with finding food that sit well with my new tummy or I find myself struggling to get a couple bites in without having the urge to throw it all up again because it feels like its stuck in my throat and as it goes down it hurts like hell. [emoji30] [emoji17] [emoji85] . My one length follow up isn't till Oct 15th but I am going to call to get a sooner appointment. I get back to work tomorrow first time after my surgery and it makes me worry that with fast pace hectic work like mine I wont have time to get my liquids or protein in. I honestly dont know what am I doing wrong. I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible. I even put a chewing timer on[emoji87] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I know..[emoji30] but thank you soooo much. You've been very helpful. Staying on a positive note and just being patient with my new tummy[emoji52] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

All these ideas sound awesome! You got this under control I say[emoji16] . I know it's been only 4 wks post op but my stomach is super sensitive like it reject alot of things I use to be able to enjoy. I suddenly became lactose intolerant, cant handle any low fat milk based yogurt, scrambled eggs give me the runs(can only do a poached egg) you can understand the aggravation with trying to find things that work for me. I have tried 3 different protein shakes premier I can no longer do. The organic plant based didnt sit well with me felt so heavy and now I am trying the isopure whey(tried it with almond milk and nope not good) so will try again with just water. [emoji85] [emoji86] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] . Another thing is that when ever I try eating my 2oz or less I feel like my food is stuck in my throat wanting to throw up. When it's not that then I just feel cramps in my stomach sigh....[emoji17] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much. Will be try this[emoji16]. What kind of meals do you prep just to get ideas? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone. So I go back to work tomorrow after 4 weeks out for the sleeve surgery. I'm excited to get back to work but overwhelmed about being so busy at work and forgetting to get my liquids ne protein in[emoji85] . I mean sometimes I forget to while being at home imagine while being at work where its fast paced all day? Anyone have any suggestions as to what to take to work ? I was thinking lots of high protein snacks maybe? And setting up a snack, water and meal timer? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Same here! I bought bra with no under wires. That helped. I am now 21 days out and lost a total of 22 lbs. I guess I'm losing a lbs x day rate. I'll take that over not losing nothing at all. Hope everyone is having a great experience this far? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on phase 3 as of today. But I must say its nerve wracking moving into this phase as you dont really know what yo est and when you do find something it doesn't always gets approved by your new pooch [emoji30]. For me for instance it just hurt going down my stomach. And it just feels like its stuck there so immediately my though is to go back to phase 1[emoji85] . Its almost as if I fear seeing my tummy expand just even a little. I'm like [emoji15] oh nooooo!! This post OP phases are really challenging. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgery was the 24th. Phase 1 From 8/25- 8/27. Phase 2 from 8/28- 9/11. Phase 3 from 9/11- 10/9. Phase 4 from 10/9 - lifetime. I am still on Phase 2, so maybe you went into phase 2 too soon?? Here I will upload a picture of my Post-Op plan. Thanks for the patch and headache info. That's what I thought since I haven't introduced anything new but the patches. So maybe liquids it is. Like you said anything is better than this massive pressure headaches. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

12 day out from sleeve. Today I started wearing my multi patches along with other vitamin patches. But this evening I started to get s massive headache. Has anyone had headaches after surgery??? Took some meds but this headache ain't going no where [emoji37][emoji856] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

"Only advantage to that was that I'm now 8lbs lighter" [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji87] you had me dying here smh lol. I am so going to try all that you've just mentioned. This is a learn as you go experience for sure. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I appreciate them. Will keep you posted [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Okay. Thank you! I will try that one and see how it goes. You just feel that pressure to stay on top of what's required that when you dont meet it you feel like oh crap[emoji45] . I have my first post OP follow up appointment tomorrow I will bring this up and see how it goes. As far as what I have been having on my phase 2 diet is broth, creamed based chicken soup, jello, tea but I feel like I need to get my protein from other things to be honest at this point I am so sick of broth and shakes lol. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Since surg have you been able to keep up with your protein/liquid intakes? Because I find myself not meeting the 64oz per day that I am required to. I might meet as far as 45 to 50oz of liquids. Also the premiere protein shake that I have been taken now with my new stomach doesnt feel so good. I've been doing the sip wait for it sip wait for it sip thing and when having the shake it just feels like it just drops hard in my stomach then I feel what's like kind of a bit of pain/discomfort in my stomach.[emoji22] Like am I lactose intolerant now [emoji45] [emoji85] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

And it will trust me. I am 8 days out. By my 3rd day home I was trying to speed the process lol but you have to keep reminding yourself to take baby steps. You want proper healing not rush the healing to only have complications down the road. We must remember this is no short cut this is lifestyle change[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

CONGRATULATIONS on making it through surgery [emoji120] . Now the real journey begins. Stay focused. Do your walking every two hours but also remember to get rest so that you heal properly. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Dont be. You dont want to raise your blood pressure. Trust in your choice, trust in your surgeon and his staff that all will be good because it will. Just listen to meditation music to keep your mind clear. You will be in good hands[emoji120] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's sad but at least they caught that discrepancy on time. Its major surgery and you want her to be good to go. You will do just fine. Prayers help alot. And to be honest with you I was so excited to be having it that I wasn't even nervous. You will do great! And so will she[emoji6] [emoji120] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey everyone! My surgery was Friday August 24th 2018. So far 4 days post op . And I am doing great moving into face to full liquids. The only thing I can say is that I've only had discomfort from the right side incision of where they took the stomach out from. Other than that all good. No nausea, no vomiting, no pain. I don't regret this at all. Just making sure I'm following everything to the T. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
