25 and 1 week post op in Tn



Recommended Posts

Hi all I am relatively new here and I've got quite a few questions! My story I've been heavy all my life and I've had diabetes and high blood pressure for over 5 years now so I decided bypass surgery was my only option since nothing else seemed to work. I'm 25 years old , pre-surgery weight 258 and I'm one week post op. I'm not extremely hungry but I have been having serious cravings for food that I generally never eat? Has anyone else had these cravings? I'm just so worried that ill eat things again that are not healthy craving hot dogs and burgers :-( idk but after having this surgery I am realizing the relationship that I have with food is so unhealthy... Maybe I haven't had a chance to grieve the loss of food yet... I just can't stand these cravings.., Also I've still got alot of pain in my left side ... Every time I move to sit or stand its like someone is punching me in the kidneys??? Is this normal? Any and all advice is helpful!! Elizabeth

Elizabeth maybe you need help from a therapist who specializes in people that have had Bariatric surgery.

They can help you with understanding your relationship with food.< /p>

It's just a thought for you to think about.

Good luck.

Chelly,

Thanks I actually was thinking the same thing. I've used food as a comforter my entire life to the point I'm afraid I'm addicted to it now so I do need to see a therapist about it ... I'm glad someone else agrees with me bc my family thinks its just bc I haven't eaten...

How are you doing now? Better I hope. I had weird cravings too. It gets easier. I'm in TN too, North East.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
