Topic: RE: Today the day and I'm scared to death!!!!!
Hi, I hope everything went really well, and by the time you read your responses you're feeling better. I had my surgery on Jan. 8 at St. Agnes with Dr. Averbach, so I'm anxious to hear your experiences and compare!  Good luck.   
p.s. I was terrified too, and so pleasantly surprised when I woke up in recovery and everything was fine.

Topic: Im a failure


I'm the biggest hypocrite on this board.

I went off on everyone who cheated and on day 9 ....I CHEATED!!!!!!!!!!

I had called the nutritionist and asked if i could have some and she said to bump my protein shakes up from 1 a day to 4-6 a day. She asked how much weight i have lost and i told her 30 since i saw the surgeon in Sept. She said it was OK to eat something and not feel guilty about it and then get back on track. So i did. It was not even good. I was not even Hungary. I just wanted it. It was not a treat or a "i deserve this" it was just i knew it was in the kitchen and i wanted it.

Then, today, i gave the dogs some left over corn bread...( how ironic that i jumped all over kimber for her corn bread and her i am doing the same thing) and i had a few crumbs...then a bite and then i felt so out of control and felt like i was losing it that i took the whole pan and dumped it into the dogs bowls.

WTF???? Day 9 and 10 and NOW i am going to screw it up?? 
I'm not even Hungary anymore. I'm past that. I was doing so good.

I am sooooooooooooooo sorry for the things i said to everyone about cheating.
I thought i was above it and i guess I'm not.

Does this mean i am going to screw up my WLS?


Oh..AND i have stop losing weight. I have only had like 1 protein shake a day and sometimes i skip that. WTF?? I cant eat any less. I am totally obsessed with losing weight. I weigh like 4 times a day. I really want to lose another 6 pounds by my surgery on Monday.

I am so over this...if i could go in tonight i would just to get it over with.  I'm not even Hungary. I don't WANT anything. I guess it is just being board or head hunger or maybe i need to face that fact that i DO have an addiction. I CANT stop. This is why i am having the surgery.
 
I don't want any sympathy i just wanted to confess to you all. I felt you all deserved to know.

Topic: RE: post op nausea?!!!!
My mom had her surgery 10/7.  She has had a lot of nausea with it.  I did a  lot of research and it seems to be from dehydration.   Maybe you could try upping your water intake.  Her problem is that she would drink caffeinated tea and caffeine actually dehydrates you more.

Hope it helps!  My surgery is tomorrow!  :)

Iman,

Welcome home.  I am so sorry to hear you endured so much.  That's now in the past and the best is yet ahead now that we're on the losers bench.  Rest and relax and take care of yourself.  Please keep in touch.

Hugs,
