7 Days Post-OP and sooooo over it!

Ok, I just need to vent a little.  Today is day 7 for me since my surgery.  I am soooo hungry and tired of jello, cream of wheat and those nasty nasty nasty protein drinks.  The sugar free stuff taste sooo stinkin sweet to me which is ironic because before surgery I loved sugar.  The protein drinks are think and nasty.  i just spent a bunch of money on that suntaz nectar stuff and it smells awful.  And speaking of smells what is going on with my breath.  I am offensive to my daggone self.  I have brushed gargled flossed and a host of other stuff but the taste in my mouth is horrible. 

Ok Ima go take a nap!  Maybe when i wake up I will feel better about life.

Oh yeah on the bright side of things I am 12 pounds down...so I guess it aint so bad!

Sounds like all the things newbies are suppose to go through, your right on track.   The great thing is things will get better every day as you get smaller.

It will get better. Congrats on the 12 pounds down!

Yep you sound like you're about 7 days post op lol. It WILL get better  its always darkest before dawn

I'm 10 days out not real hungry but can't stand the protein drinks every place i go I can smell the protein. I got some sugar free mints I can't stand the taste. what else can we get protein from I don't know how much longer I can force my self to drink this stuff.

Tabson I couldn't do protein straight outta surgery. Truth be told I don't think I was able to tolerate protein for at least 4 weeks out or more. Nothing tasted or smelled right for months. So all I basically drank was Crystal lite. Water it down to take the sugary taste away. I also made crystal lite ice cubes. That was my saving grace but then again I had my surgery in late May early June so it was warmer out.

Talk to your nutritionist about other options for you. At 7 days out boo you ain't hungry, that's all in your head and head hunger is a greedy azz beyotch!!! Don't let her out, lock her greedy butt up in the closet or basement somewhere LOL!!!!

But really we all went through this phase, it's called what the hell did I do to myself "Buyers Remorse". You will be alright and soon enough you'll be able to encourage a newbie going through this same thing.

Get yourself some rest, you just had major, major surgery. Hormones are wacky as hell right now. Take it easy and relax, kick your feet up just chill. You will feel better soon, it really does get better. Trust.

Yep think about the 12lb loss and there will be many, many more victories like that to celebrate on this journey. Good luck to you.

I really appreciate all the encouragement.   Glad to know I am not the only one trippin.    Right after I wrote this note i went and made a protein shake put it in the freezer and ate it like ice cream  .   One more day down.  I will deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

I am going to try and enjoy this part of the journey as suggested by you guys. 

(( Hugs )) Tabson  this will pass and become  a distant memory
