Fears of failure



Recommended Posts

Absolutely, most of us were on a diet before surgery. Depending on what you are allowed to eat, lean Protein and veggies are the key to filling up. drinks lots of Water helps too. Stick with it, you're worth it.

I know it has for me. My doctor actually told me that I should expect to not feel hunger after the surgery. I can't say that he was completely right on that front. I do still get an empty, grumbly, even unhappy feeling in my tummy if I go for a long time without eating -- that happens if I do something stupid like not eating anything until lunch time, for instance. BUT, the feeling that usually went along with that of: I really want to eat pizza or scarf down a hamburger right now; that's 100% gone.

Right...you just don't know how your body will react to the surgery that's the risk we take but it's a risk I'm willing to take. I hope and pray that my body reacts positively this is where my faith has to kick in

I'm a step over three weeks out, nd I feel frequent hunger and four bites does not fill me on most foods but five or six often does. I had to put in some light carbs before I got satiety ... I've heard does happen to some people that they don't feel the fullness and styff until they are in the final eating phase... this comforts me because it's hDd not to feel frustrated and angry

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
