So as well.all know today was thanksgiving and boy was it a challenge. I had my proceedure on the 18th (6 days ago) and was advised to be on Clear liquids till the 29th. I tried my best but could not shake the feeling of hunger. My husband gave me a chocolate pudding cup and that helped. But as people with food addictions know all too well, that opened a big wide door. I infused my chicken broth with salsa, allowed myself to eat very small bits of chicken, then ate about 1.5tbs of coleslaw, 2 tbs of stuffing, 2 tbs of garlic bread, 1tbs applesauce and 2tbs of pumpkin pie-no crust. Now, this was not all in one sitting but throughout the day. I feel like scum. So discouraged and disappointed in myself. Physically I feel stuffed. I can breathe and expand my diaphragm fully but I'm uncomfortable for sure. Still trying to get my liquids in though. I don't really know what I'm asking for but perhaps that I'm going to be okay and that this happens? Maybe a scolding? I don't really know but I'd love to hear from anyone..........

of course anytime, thats why this group was made to support and ask for advice and vent. Don't pay mind to those misreable people that act like bullies. Do you!

No, I won't pay them any mind. I'm glad we all have people to support us and that the bullies are few and far between.

Did you have to have a psych evaluation to be approved for surgery? Be monitored by a dietician for a few months? I understand that these measures are required by insurance to be approved for surgery. Maybe you were not ready if you didn't do these things. I hope you become compliant for your own safety.

I did those things. I was and am ready. There's a big difference between a mistake and noncompliance.

Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this "mistake", or as I like to call it this instance of just being human.

You know the risks, you didn't come here for lectures you came here for support. Thank you for sharing with us and reminding us all that this journey is going to be a challenge. I agree with the other posts, check in with your surgeon, keep up the counseling and just care well for yourself. You've got this!

Thank you knpoole, I spoke with him already. He wasn't mad at all and said it was fine but that he wants me to stay away from all sweets for the rest of my life due to my addiction and something about how cells have memory when it comes to consuming sugar. I'm fine and doing well. He's please with my progression. Thank you for you're support friend.

Yes, thank you for checking in on me. I'm doing well. I'll be advanced to chicken and veggies and fruit this Friday and I'm so so so excited. I'm not eating very much though. I don't wanna eat actually. It doesn't fill good to be full anymore. It's just uncomfortable. I'm not over eating either since im stuggling to eat these 2oz. Is that normal?

I'm hoping I'll have more success with desiring to eat if I can have veggies and fruit.

Sounds normal to me. Getting all your Protein in is hard; adding chicken will probably make it easier tho, since it's a high protein food. What about eggs? Have you been allowed to add eggs yet?
