So im having a rough day. I was hoping yall could give me some advise. This is a copy of the email i sent to my NUT today. Hi! Just wanted to touch base and ask a few questions. I'm not feeling very good and I know it's my fault so I wanted to know any tricks you can share. I know I'm not getting my carbs/protein in for the day. It's not for lack of trying. But I have a very weird relationship with food...I basically hate it. Nothing taste good and I'm rarely hungry. I'm thirsty ALL the time so I sip on a protein drink or flavored water through the day. When I eat I try and eat slow and only put 1/2 a cup or less in my baby plate with my baby spoon but I feel no matter what or how much I eat I feel sick and only take a few bites. I haven't cheated on anything. No caffeine no soda no dessert. Per my scale today I am 243.1 from 262. My surgery date was march 18th. I went back to work yesterday light duty which was fine but felt crappy all night and today. Anything you could recommend would be great. Thank you Kacy Fire away fellow march sleeved friends and thank you ahead of time.

your not far out from surgery you might not feel great every day. Work on water and liquid protien and the rest will come. It will get better and way more fun just hang in.

thirsty ALL the time

hun your only 2 weeks PO

its no fun - not feeling good

"I know its my fault"???

not sure why you are saying that???

you are doing fine - you are having a temporarily (msp) hard time

but things will improve - REALLY

sorry to repeat myself, but you are still very new to the sleeve

it is good that you sent this well written email to your NUT

i'm sure she can give you advice and help you

its great that you are drinking - even if its slow - you are trying

don't worry about the Protein at this early stage - or carbs of course

you've already gone back to work!!!

thats good - shows that you are "physically" feeling ok

not liking food at this early stage is common - didn't happen to me, but reading the boards - many OP have the same problem

so don't worry thats it only you

life will slowly improve - to you continue to reach your healthier, happier, longer life

good luck bud

Thank y'all! : )

It's not your fault!! You just had major surgery! Give your body and mind a chance to heal and adjust. As others have said, just concentrate on liquids and protein. You WILL feel better soon. You basically had a whole (well 85%) organ removed!! Relax, you will be ok and feel more like eating soon.

I say it's my fault bc if I talk to people about how im feeling I get "you did this to yourself". My husband is very sympathetic however I know he's thinking he was right and I shouldn't had this drastic surgery. I am still happy I did this and I know I'll cross this hurdle in time but for right now it sucks! Thanks everyone! Hugs!!!!
