Okay, so I'm only 5 days post-op and I'm at the point where my body is literally starting to eat itself...I am starving, NOTHING helps (and sometimes makes it worse), and I am cranky and mad at the world. Looking at the diet instructions my doctor's office gave me...I think some of this is total bull. No Pasta or bread for SIX MONTHS??? I haven't seen that anywhere else. I am frustrated because a friend of mine had the same surgery 2 months ago with another doctor and she's been allowed to experiment a whole lot more than this plan says I can. The thing is, they give this same sheet to all patients...meaning the bypass patients are given the same instructions as the sleeve patients. And that just makes no sense. My body is not bypassing the gall bladder and all that; I can process things better than a bypass patient. I got sleeve rather than bypass for a reason- it is supposed to be much easier to recover from and I can eat a lot more normal and still get all the results. The only thing really different is my stomach is tiny. Right? So why can't I try some things close to one month rather than 3-6??

I'm just complaining, really, but also wanted to know your experiences and thoughts. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my first post-op appointment and I'm going to talk to her about this, because I don't think this diet plan is realistic or fair.

Popcorn flavoured water. ...? LOL

Nope.....popcorn and water.

Hot, buttered movie popcorn is a permissible snack for us, now.......thanks to the OP.

She negotiated this for us during her appointment with the medical establishment today.

It's all good now.

I should still be punished, though.

OHHHH!! You get PMs, too?? I thought it was just me!!

Oh geez. I thought you were declaring that Dub gets PMS, not PMs. I was thinking, "Duuuuuude! My crush is crumbling away! Say it isn't so!"

Okay dude, that's what, two or three times in one thread? That was happening on the "punish me" thread. I see a theme.

Dang! If its gonna be that kind of party...

Ah......the crack of the whip by the temptress.....

I hear my beckoning.

I aim to please. And I have great aim!

So last year for Halloween I dressed as Xena warrior princess....all the women recognized my costume! All the men said..."where is your whip?"

What is it with you guys??? Big busted woman in a leather corset, short leather skirt, tall boots makes you immediately think "whip"?

Nope.

It simply makes me think my prayers have been answered.

You'll be a lot more successful if you approach this surgery with a positive attitude. The surgery is a TOOL. The lifestyle change is up to you.

No, it reinforces my faith that there is a higher power up there (as in towards the heavens, not the skirt.)
