Hi all,
All my life I had issue with food it was the only thing I do if I am stress or emotional I always feel better after, in 2017 i was 140 lb I did the ballon and I only lost 8.8 lb, wasn’t really in control of myself in terms of food and drinks. in a year and half I gain 4.4 lb so I was 136 lb I did the gastric Plication last Saturday 27 April been promised by the dr that the pain is less then the ballon and I can leave same day. I was dying I was so much in pain I had to stay the night in hospital and left the next day but went again to emergency the next day for the pain. I have been out 5 days ago and I am still in pain :(. I feel hungry and tired all time. I am also craving food all the time. The nutrition and doctor Are giving me different answers of what I should and shouldn’t eat.
For example I asked if I can have a cappuccino with no sugar my nutrition said okay as long as it’s skinny milk but my doctor said no. An hour after I asked if I can have a very small spoon of ice cream free sugar to get energy my doctor allow it but nuturation don’t.
So they are not alright in what I should eat and not.
Now I feel bad with all the pain, money and hassle I have been too. Is it worth it??
i really don’t know what do with the hunger I have and the pain?!
Please write me from your experience some tips and advices.
