emotionally devastated

Hi Sadie, hope you're doing a little better today. I was on clear liquids for like 5 days post op, then I went to my post op class and started on soft protiens. That is when I started to come out of my funk. Being on liquid is so not satisfying, but when you can start to eat things you start to feel less deprived and more satisfied and the "head hunger" goes away. Well for me it did. I do miss eating big meals, looking at my family with their big plates, but you know what, the 22lbs that are gone feel great and I have to remind myself of why I did this. To stop being a carb addict, to stop the overeating, to lose wt, to feel better, ect. Anyways hopefully you can start food soon and get off the liquids, I have not thrown up once, it's wierd how every dr is different... Good luck...Erin

I do seem to be feeling better. I think time has healed some of my wounds and I am not feeling as lonely. I am still seeing a counselor so I know I will work through this. I still think about food all the time, I hope that gets better. I can't eat a lot but I think about it a lot. I am so thankful to be able to share these feelings. Only this group can truly understand how it feels to mourn a non living thing. Thanks Sadie
