Feeling like a big lazy slob today!



Recommended Posts

Ok its been 3 wks since surgery, and starting last night was a train wreck. My not overweight husband and skinny sister went out to return a movie and brought back not 1 or 2 but 3 different bags of Oreo's! And OMG i scarfed down like 6 and today (not all day was bad) had like at least another 6 throughout the day!!!

I felt lethargic today, I guess because the passed few nights I have not slept well (baby got up a few in a row, the room was hot at 4am and husband wanted to..ahem...you know). I actually got a little energy from those Cookies at one point.

So now I'm feeling so guilty and fat and mad at myself.

Is this a big time sign that I need a (first) fill? Dr. scheduled a 6 wk follow up with a "50/50 chance of a fill" 6 WEEKS??????

did you eat them because you were hungry or because they were good. I find sometimes..I want to eat more than I should just because...not because I am hungry

It was like an uncontrollable urge to jam them in my mouth...like i didnt care about anything but those stupid Cookies. I should mention I'm not in no way shape or form am an emotional eater- if ever i feel sad, or mad or whatever- eating is the LAST thing i wanna do. I think maybe because i hadnt eaten anything like that in so long...

Just make sure you start over again the next day. If I mess up, I just say well tomorrow is a new day. I bought candy the other day and took too bites and had to throw it away! It was too sweet and did not even taste good like it used to. You will get through this!

Maybe your husband could be a little more sensitive and not eat them around you. Atleast during your early stages here where you haven't broken your bad eating habits and you are still learning how to eat with the band. I am lucky because even though my husband is thin, he prefers to eat healthy, which makes it easier for me. I'm only 10 days banded and just started mushies. But I didn't go through this surgery to not be successful. So good luck to you. Take care of yourself.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
