I haven't had my surgery yet but i believe its a mental change. U can be positive and make the changes gently or be negative and continue to suffer. I don't mean to be rude or to forward. I am not in your shoes at this time, but i have read many other posts that are and have been, and it will get better.

That is why i am doing the dietician etc and reading researching etc all i can before my surgery. I am sure i will experience some of what all talk about on here. But i pray that i will be strong enough to make it through this.

I am sure i will be here posting as well as i will need support as well. Mssdream. Hang in there it will get better from everything i have read and researched.

Sorry you are having problems. I am pre op, just had my first nutrition appointment last week and she told me that some people have issues with really hot and really cold foods. I wonder why you weren't told that. It seems like the programs for preparing for surgery really vary by surgeon.

I hope you feel better soon, from what I have read here things can grt tough but the do get better, so hang in there.

wow, your weight loss is a lot better than mine. I have lost an average of 10 lb a month since surgery. The first 2 months, I only lost 30 lb total. Your weight loss sounds about right to me.
I never really had the food making me sick issues, so I cannot address that. I have had it really easy and the only time I get sick(that stuck feeling) is if I eat chicken or eggs or I eat too fast. But I have heard from a lot of the people on here that it does get better. I hope it gets easier for you. I followed exactly what the nut told me as far as advancing my food choices and now, I can eat most anything,(except I avoid carbs and sugar)

The first 4 months were the hardest for me. I had to drink room temperature water for about the first year. Now I can drink it cold again.

It will get better. It can be hard to get used to throwing away food...but throwing it away is better than carrying it around on your ass for the next 10 years, right? ;)

A lot of people have "buyer's remorse" after WLS. It is hard to give up our emotional coping mechanism, food. Surgery messes with our emotions and losing weight will mess with your hormone levels. On top of that, your pouch is still healing and you are learning how to listen to it. Yep, that's a lot going on!!

I can tell you that it is worth it. For me, food is about nurturing my body, now...it isn't about feeding my emotions, entertainment, celebrating, etc. I've found new ways to comfort myself, entertain myself and celebrate!! Going from a size 30/32 to a size 2? Priceless!!

Hang in there!!

I think everyone is different when it comes to how the surgery changes them. Before I had the surgery I could drink water straight from the tap and it didn't bother me. In fact I didn't like to drink ice water at all. Then after the surgery I haven't been able to drink tap water. It has to be ice cold or straight from the fridge. I even had to go out and buy and insulated camelback water bottle because I can not drink water unless it is ice cold. I'm 2 1/2 year out and still can only drink ice cold water. if it gets warm I have to add ice to it.
I was also a slow loser. I would see others that had the surgery at the same time as me and they would've lost 10-20 more lbs than me and I would think maybe it wasn't working for me or something. But then all of a sudden I would not weigh myself and, whoosh, suddenly I would be 30 lbs lighter and having to buy 2 sizes smaller. sometimes it just didn't make sense, but it happened. It this was like 7 months out.

I'm really sorry that things are so tough for you right now. I sure hope that it starts to get easier. I'll be praying for you. I do think that you'll be surprised when all of a sudden the weight is melting off and you realize you are feeling better.

Hang in there it does get better. For me the first 3 months were brutal and I thought I made a huge mistake. Now at 8 months out I'm so glad I did it.

It is a huge adjustment. you are doing great on weight loss in my opinion. I am 15 mths out and only keep food down with a medication called phenogrin. I didn't get proactive though till recently after a year of poor medical care from my bariatric center. I should of run after my staples were removed and the pa gave me a religious lecture on how I needed to go back to church. (it was christmas week) My point is if YOU feel something is wrong do NOT let anyone blow you off. If others want to tell you your whining or not accepting this well so be it. Take the normal and make peace with it but really only you know if it does not feel right. Good luck it does get better but sometimes you have to make it better.
