I keep hearing/reading all these people saying how they're just not hungry after their bypass and how they have to force themselves to eat or drink.  Well, I AM hungry.  I think a lot of it comes from not feeling satisfied with a liquid diet, but there has not been a magical "not hungry" phase for me so far.  I am almost 2 weeks out.  I go back to work full time tomorrow, and I can't sleep at 3:30 am.  My incisions/abdomen is still sore and my back is killing me because I haven't taken my Celebrex for 2 days. Yes, the thought has crossed my mind "I wish I hadn't done this".  Also I am thinking that eating was one of the joys in my life.  Now that joy is gone.  I am confident that these feelings will change as time goes by.  Also I don't think my antidepressant is working very well these days; I don't believe I am absorbing them and they are going through me whole.  Will have to ask Dr about this issue.

Well, here's hoping I can go back to sleep........  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My highest wt was 237 at my preop appt.  I weighed 232 on surgery day, and 226 on day 5 postop.  Had RNY on May 27, 2010.  This postop stuff is definitely NOT easy.  I can't get enough protein or water in my pouch and I'm tired. I can't figure out how to drink water without swallowing air.  Today is what I would call a not so good day.  I am feeling frustrated.  I have never been crazy about chocolate milk or shakes, or flavored water either.  Now I am living on it and yuck!  Vanilla protein shakes are better, but not much.  I am going to try some of those "bullets" to see if I can get more protein.  Well, anyway I am getting bored with staying home too, but not ready to go back to work yet either.
