liquid phase is depressing



Recommended Posts

im 1 week post op and on day 22 of my liquid phase. I dont have many words other that I cant handle the Protein Shake flavor. I have been living off of plain Water for three days. Every step I take i feel like I am going to faint. My surgeons advice was:"be tough, it will get better"

I feel just like in a regular diet type of agony only that my body cant take binging anymore.

Im hurting so bad emotionally.

I dont think I can take another OliveGarden commercial.

2 more weeks before yogurt....

MMMM MMMmm having an shake right now. Yeah they're a bit tiresome at best. if hating a dirt flavoured milk shake is as hard as it gets I can put up with that for a couple more weeks.

Cheer up! It will pass. I just started my 3rd week out. The past 2 weeks I went to bed as early as I could so I'd reach the new day faster. Sounds silly but it really helped. It gets better every single day. Courage!!

The Olive Garden food has never looked so good. We will be on to the next phase soon.

Hang in there. I felt like I didn't take in any nutrition for the first six weeks. Couldn't stomach Protein Shakes, yogurt was gross, eggs were too. I lived off of Water, and it had to be ice cold or it bothered my stomach. I became obsessed with lemon and just sucked the juice out if it. At 6 weeks follow up , I was given the go ahead to introduce solid Protein and I was in heaven. As long as you are getting enough water, you will survive. I hated life, was tired all the time, but I made it!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
