I feel like I'm messing up my diet. I eat small amounts, except several times a day.. I'm only going on week 6 and eating things idk if I should be. I'm sick of just drinking Water. I drink other stuff once in awhile.. still not carbonated tho.. idk I feel like I'm failing myself. Also I'm stuck at 210 and can't get past it

Im worried about getting rid of any of my clothes that no longer fit because what if I fully fail and gain back the weight

I cant seem to get past the brain hunger

Can you find your instructions from surgery and locate what level or stage of eating you are on? Stick as close to that as possible and the weight will fall off... Promise

But you have to do the work...

Drinking what other stuff? Anything with sugar in it, or juice is going to cause cravings for carbs, and then more cravings or more bad choices.

You are not very far out from surgery and still healing, have inflammation, and in the learning phase of eating. Follow your surgeon's food plan.

As far as head hunger - you might want therapy or at least to do some reading on emotional eating - you have to find other ways to cope with things without resorting to food. It sucks, but that is what we have to do.

Get rid of the clothes, you are NOT going back, don't look back! Celebrate and embrace the new you all along the way, take care of you, pamper yourself - you just had major surgery, and did a brave, hard thing - enjoy it! Go to resale shops and get some 'new' clothes that fit, get a pedicure, etc... The best is right in front of you....

Well I just had a busy filled weekend with my family.. lots of moving.. and now everyone has left and it's time to settle.. weighed myself and I lost 7 lbs over the weekend. So that helps.. just was stuck at 210 for Abt 2 weeks and was losing faith... I do need to get rid of the clothes but still feeling I need them, I did get rid of some pants that were too big even before surgery. But scared now lol.. I need to wake up and get on track.

And head hunger is just me getting bored and thinking I need to eat. When I know I'm don't need too.. it used to be my go to

Now i drink sugar free teas and stuff like that. If I'm up and doing a bunch of stuff, like the other day I helped my sister in her barn I drank Powerade. I do drink propel but there's only so much of that u can drink

As long as it’s SF and calorie free, there’s nothing wrong with other things to drink besides Water. I actually can’t drink straight water, makes me nauseous since surgery. I drink a variety of teas, crystal light, water additives, ect.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
