Omg

I am one week post op and the only difference I feel is pain on the right side of my stomach. I have not experienced any nausea or vomiting, in fact, while I was in the hospital the day after surgery I was out of it and guzzled Water out of a straw! I don’t think this works for me AT ALL. Like did my physician take a tiny bit of my stomach? Today I went to Olive Garden to have the Zuppa Soup because it is cheap and hearty. Although I eat a little slower, I still devoured my Soup and had a breadstick. I did not feel full, bloated, nothing. I feel like this procedure was a waste for me and all I have to show or feel from it is scars on my stomach (which my tape has not fallen off yet), crazy bruising, and track marks on my belly from those dreadful shots. I have major pain bending over and getting out of bed but I have no problem with my Fluid intake or going to the gym. Three days post op and I was doing 45 minutes on the elliptical. I just don’t get it. I’m so disappointed in myself and this process. I think I just need to go to freakin weight watchers AGAIN.

One week out 😱 were you given the informational packet that provided steps to incorporating food back starting with liquids only? Please follow up with your nutritionist and get to a support group. Your healthy lifestyle begins with changing your mindset your new pouch is only a tool to help minimize. Mentally you have to did the rest of the work. I’m hoping you’re changes have been better since you posted this message. Follow the plan it works!

People self sabotage because it’s very hard to undo a lifetime of a way of thinking and eating, no matter how much work you do. It’s a journey and it’s an individual journey. I’m sure the OP has realised that eating that much so soon was a bad idea. Sometimes that’s just what you have to do. I went through a phase recently of making some bad choices - I rearranged my thinking and now I’m back on track. It can be done
