First off I want to assure u that you're not alone...many of us have experienced the exact same thing you are going through right now...
I had my RnY on dec 22 and am just 4 days out..and yes its been rough for me but each day brings me renewed faith....from what I have read in my vast research, the first two weeks are the hardest but we WILL get through them.. Its safe to say you thought long and hard about this decision b4 u followed thru with it and now its time to trust yourself...this journey we are on is riddled with ups and downs, good days and bad, and trial and error in finding out which foods will work for us and won't work for us. Like you, I was overwhelmed at all the stuff I had to get in what with supplements, water, protein...Have you tried writing up a schedule for yourself include what time youl have your vitamins with breakfast, what time lunch, dinner. And what time youl get the shakes in...yiu can include ounces there as well to make sure you're meeting your goal. It may help u to see it written out... Ultimately, we will use this pouch as a tool to help us reach our goal of being healthy individuals...the end result will make this all worth it. I have found that during these past 4 days since surgery I have been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding WLS as well as getting on youtube to watch how others have experienced their journies...the good the bad and the ugly...this forum is an excellent place to ask questions and garner feedback as I have found that the folks here are quite knowledgeable and helpful in sharing or offering encouragement...these tough times will get better...Find comfort in that..I know there are others here that may have more concrete suggestions but I just wanted to stop by and tell u that you aren't alone and we understand
