When does it get eaiser



Recommended Posts

NORMAL!

I never had actual regret' date=' but I did have some freakout over the fact that the majority of my stomach was rotting in a Mexican bio-dump somewhere. Also when you're not eating for so long, you start to feel like it's never going to end and you can't face another sickening sweet Protein shake.... food is a VERY emotional thing for a lot of us. When someone interferes with my ability to have it, I get extremely emotional.. I cried on more than one occasion during my PRE-OP because I couldn't have what I wanted. I felt so stupid, but this is reality.

Also remember that your body has been through a huge physical trauma. Take it easy and cut yourself some slack. You are completely normal and this will pass and you'll be rocking your sleeve in no time.[/quote']

OMG. I'm on the 2nd day of my preopp liquid diet and driving in to work today I just started crying. never in my life have I felt stress and anxiety until these last few weeks leading up to surgery. Sure I'm in PMS mode and that plays a role... But it's the weirdest feeling. My boss even caught me crying in my office today and asked me what's wrong. I lied and told her that I was afraid of dying during surgery because I couldn't tell her why I was really crying. Hell I didn't even know why I was really crying.

Iontash that's normal it's gonna take about 3-4 days until you get use to that liquid. But I assure you it is so worth it. You will start seeing the weight come down and you will be happy. It's easy putting that weight on. Don't expect a walk in the park getting it off.

NO PAIN NO GAIN. Or loss whatever you know what I mean. Hang in there all you can do now is lose weight. And that's a good thing!!!

      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!!
