Affraid of being to weak

Tell me if you understand what im talking about here...(keep in mind i have not had my surgery yet)

Have you ever been sooo hungry  that you became weak or just couldnt focus on work or the simplist task?  I'm a 911 Police Disptacher so i cannot afford to have a mind like this.

I fear that once having the surgery and only being able to eat 1 oz in the beginning and for a while after that, that i will not be able to focus.

thoughts????

You have to realize that After suregery,  you will no longer have that overwhelming sense of hunger like you do now.   Some people don't feel hungry at all and eat only by schedule.  Some people(including me) get a slight hunger feeling and don't necessarly go by schedule.   

Example:  I recently had an abcessed tooth and had a severe infection in my jaw/neck area.  It took my dentist 4 days to send me to have a infection drain.   I was so sick and my jaw/neck was so swollen, I could not eat for those 4 days.    I was weak after a couple of days because I had no nutrition in my system and only antibiotics & pain medication.    I never once felt weak or faint because of a hunger feeling!  I know the feeling your talking about.   You stomach no longer feels so empty its attached to your back bone or any of that....      

 

  thanks for the information, that's a huge relief.  I am getting all those intial fears out of the way.
 How much are you eating now after being out for 4 months?
you look smashing by the way, absolutely beautiful!

well i loved food and i always did and before my surgery i felt like i had to eat and i ate to eat and now after the surgery my case is rare and i dont have an issue or diagnosis but my weight loss has been successful and i have used my tool of MY RNY to lose my weight and now i eat to live....if i find something to eat that i love i eat it in portions but....other than that really food doesnt interest me how it used to....since i cant eat as much i think i get easily disinterested and you just really dont crave much. i used to love sweets,chocolate,snickers bars and chips those where my weakness and now if i still want those things i eat them but better choices like sugar free icecream and sugar free sweets and baked chips are my friends.....if i want to cheat those are my cheating foods you have to just listen to your body and think about everything you want to eat and if its worth eating......thats my mentality. YOU WILL have enough energy to function either way just eat what your told in the beginning and then play with your foods after...you get comfortable....

 Wow thank you, that's awesome that you said you can now eat to live... I love that phrase...
you go girl... You look like a totally different girl..gorgeous

 Post-surgery you will feel very different on the hunger front. 
I am not hungry which is so weird!
However I know that I have to eat and focus on protein..
Follow the treatment plan the surgeons office gives you and you will do fine..
Go slow. be happy!
