5 days Post OP - sad, depressed



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 days post Op, I can barely get anything down, I have all these Premier Protein drinks I cant drink, I have gas pain and can't fart and My husband keeps eating the things I like In front of me.

I just want a small bowl of Lucky Charms mannnnnn. This is Hell, it's a absolutely terrible experience and I wish I never got this stupid sleeve.

This is exactly what I said to myself on day 2 - couldn't believe I'd done this to MYSELF! Now, three weeks out, the regrets are all over. It does get better and better :-)

Get you some gas-x and tell dude he gonna have to go in the next room with that food. You've only been out of the hospital a few days it will get better every day. sip something every 10-15 minutes and when he eats you go outside and take a walk. you will be amazed at how much it improves the gas. this is not hell. hell is being trapped in a body that holds you back from being the person you want to be. this is like purchasing a one way ticket on a crappy bus out of hell. sure the journey will not be easy or comfortable and will suck like hell but each pound down gets you closer to your goal and baaaaby when you get there you will enjoy it. keep your eyes on the prize. he flaunts his food today you flaunt your body tomorrow!

Everyone reacts differently to those initial days of misery. I laughed at myself for being an idiot and doing this to myself. A few months later I laughed at myself for laughing at myself when I was cleaning out the fat clothes from my closet for the 3rd time. :)

I was having a tough day today myself. I just wished I was at my goal weight, getting dressed for saturday night, headed out for a night of flirting and debauchery. Shoot, my eyes even acted like they wanted to get all teary cause i'm posted up in front of the computer in sweat pants with a bottle of Water instead. But then my inner reasonable person reminded me that I am currently well on my way to being the me I used to be. Once again having choices and being comfortable in my own skin doing whatever it is my heart pleases. We have taken the difficult steps to make the biggest impact on our lives and our health we could ever make. If it was easy everybody would do it. Sometime we just have to remind our selves of our own strength.

I am five days out also. I really like the peach fuzzy navel nectar and Unjury powdered chicken Soup. The first couple of days I was like I cannot get these fluids down. Today came real close to it. Keep at it sip by sip, don't gulp. Just think in a few months how amazing you look and it will be so worth it.

Gawd that first week was horrible. I agree. Focusing on Water and broth helps.

Hang in there it's get easy with time. I was the same situation as you I got depressed and regretted the surgery at first but now I'm 4 months post op. I'm glad I did I it. It's still hard at time but continue drinking your Water n Protein ,,,walk walk and walk ,, I still crave me favorite food but then I see how I'm loosing the weight and inches it encourage me to continue,, just hang on. You won't regret it later.

I am in the same boat. My husband keeps eating out all of the things I wish I could eat right now. Its so hard and I feel regretful myself most of the time. Everyone on here keeps saying it will get better but its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
