So I am 1 week post op today. I'm still having trouble with food. I still just wanna eat what I normally do. I havent went by the liquid diet. Everytime i tell myself this is the last thing and then no more unless liquids. Well dosent happen like that. I need help on what to do. I'm not happy with myself at all. It's like i can't resist the urge to wanna ear.

Exactly. This could be life threatening.

I'm not supposed to be eating. And I know that but I find it hard not to. I'm eating pretty much whatever.

So basically you decided that ignoring your doctor's instructions and eating a week after major surgery is OK and you came here to find people who agree? Great.

Your insurance paid for this surgery because you are morbidly obese. If you can't follow simple medical instructions to prevent serious post operative problems I m not going to waste my time on you.

But, before I BLOCK you, unless you are well bent on killing yourself I suggest you get some psychiatric counseling ASAP.

Woah... What in the world?! She didn't say she expects people to agree. No need to be so hateful. She admitted that she has a problem. This person came to this forum for advice, not rude comments.

I think this person is fake guys! No info on the profile? Look im 6 days post opp & if anyone is having a hard time withe the 2 wk liquid post opp diet (followed by 2 wk soft foods) its me!!! But bcuz my dr. Is im Mexico, i cant play with this, at times i feel like im going insane ive been so hungery!T his person seems to hv given up before he or she left the operating table! Im a social media celebrity & i know all about fake profiles, some one could be play with us while we are taking time to type our heartfelt concerns.... think about it, you cant even physically sip the liquids b4 a few days , but this person says they been eating everything in less than a week? Dont sound right but, ok ... as you can see im hangry & have no sympathy

Some people make a profile quickly to ask questions and get advice when they're feeling desperate. I've seen a ton of profiles with little to no information. Some people don't see the point in putting down info of themselves, and just come to these forums for discussion/support.

So I understand people telling me that what I have done is not right and I need to stop and do right and I apperciate that. But I didn't get on here to be talked to rudely and be judged. So in words of my mamaw if you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. ☺. I have done nothing to offend.

Just block her. There is no need for rudeness. No one feels the need to be rude for no reason, unless they're angry or insecure. You did not provoke her in any way. I don't see anywhere where you disagreed with anyone or refused advice. You came here looking for advice and support. And girl, I am here for you! You made a mistake, a VERY dangerous one; and you owned up to it. For that, I admire you. I can't tell you how many times I've come across people who refuse to own up to their mistakes and continue to fail themselves. You were brave enough to come here and talk about this. It's great because it shows that you really do care about this, but that you're just struggling. We are humans, so we are going to make mistakes.

I think you need someone to talk to, if not daily, maybe weekly, to make sure you're staying on track. If that's what you need, then you are more than welcome to message/text me. I'll admit, I've made a lot of mistakes in the past 4 months post-op. I've even started eating bread and Pasta again. I'm not gaining weight, but I'm also not losing weight as fast as I want to. I've been stalled at 195 for almost 2 weeks now. I've decided to reset my system by doing the pouch reset (it's like the diet we were put on post-op, but instead of 5 weeks, it lasts for 5 days).

Hey there -- this is tough -- but I agree with Little Bill and others ... this feeling that you can't control yourself with food right after surgery is a path to destruction for your surgery -- and for your own mental health. I am not a mental health professional (and I don't play one on TV), and even if I were, this would not be the right format to try to work out what is going on. If you had surgery locally, ask your team if they can recommend a psychologist whose expertise is food issues. And if they don't have anyone to recommend, or you went out of the country -- google it in your area. From a physical perspective, this is super dangerous. But for your own positive mental health in the future -- it is also dangerous. Truly -- good luck.

I look at it this way. Either this person is a troll, or she is not. If she is for real, then she really needs to get some good advice here, advice which sends her to more good advice and help locally. Nobody here is diminished by offering to help.

If she IS a troll, then who loses? How pathetic does someone's life have to be to troll a weight loss forum? Maybe it is some pre-adolescent kid, or some neckbeard living in Mommy's basement, but the only person who loses is the troll.

People who do good things to help other people are never diminished when they help, even when they are taken in. And if you are the kind of person to help others in time of need, you will be taken in at some point or another. That should not harden you to the needs of those you encounter.

Thank you guys for for the concern. Makes me feel like I do have a support team here on my phone. But I did go get checked at the ER and the dr and my dr looked over my CT scan and said everything looked great, but I do have some kidney stones. So I'll take that then having some serious complications in my stomach. Today was awake up call yall! I lmk gonna do this and I WILL succeed!!! Merry Christmas to yall!!!

So glad to hear your doctor's visit went okay. Sounds like you have gotten the message that you really need to be taking this seriously, Your life is literally at stake. I wish you much success going forward!

I'm sorry I'm sure that's difficult but I'm very surprised that you are even hungry head hunger is a different issue please contact your surgeon you can really hurt yourself eating at this point your staple line isn't any where close to being healed.
