Feeling Frustrated



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on January 4th. I was given 1cc at the time of surgery and pretty much feel back to my old self as far as being sore and getting around.

My appetite is back and it's frustrating! I know it takes time to get to the "sweet spot" but it's just frustrating because no matter how much Protein I eat, an hour or two later I'm hungry again. Like I said I know it's early in this process but I'm getting discouraged. Just needed some tips, encouragement or a good kick in the ass!

To get me through those times I tried to keep myself very busy. All my drawers are cleaned out, closets clean, laundry room repainted etc...

I would also fill in the in between meals with sf hot chocolate, Decaf tea and lots and lots of Water.< /p>

Good luck!

Hello i am post op dec 18. You are not alone because my friend and i are going through the same thing. I guess it part of the process because i stay hungry and i follow the rules. I had a small fill during surgery but i feel like i do not have a band but it is there. Hang in there it will get better. I go for a fill jan 30 and i cannot wait to see my dr to let him know. We have come to far to turn back now. I eat what i am suppose to i have no problem getting in my Proteins. That is why i stop the shakes cause i would be so hungry. I rather have the food. Hopefully it will get better.

        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!!
