Well, it's actually the second worst part. LOL. The 2 week Liquid Pre-Op Diet followed by the 2-3 week Liquid Post Op Diet is the worst part! bahahahahaaha!

It's not too much for me. I'm a mild to moderate depressive and it was well written and gave some light on a under-understood problem. Thank you. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm bummed that after a Year out I can now eat anything. Although it's smaller portions, I am losing control of the healthy life style. Argg. I was down from 220 pre sleeve to 147 today. But I was 143 and now I'm gaining. I try to stay under 1200 calories. Should I go back to my books and do the post sleeve surgery diet?

@frust8 I've been doing really well! Today is day 7 post-op, and only today did my incision stop hurting with every little movement, now it only hurts with very specific movements. I was able to spring clean my make up collection, and get back to my skincare routine. I lost 14 pounds so far, and I am feeling great! I remember 14 pounds taking me two months of strict calorie counting, using the scale, and meal prep... I am definitely getting into the hype of WLS right now lol! I am regaining my energy a little bit at a time. But the hunger has been real. It could be my stomach acid but each morning I wake up with this gnawing hunger. Liquids, tea, broth, and yogurt help me keep it down by a lot. I am on the full liquids phase (can't have even blended soup! Just strained broth) till Sunday. My NUT is so strict but I think that's for the better. All the patients end up not vomiting even once. I simply can't wait to have my thai butternut squash soup, and sweet potato curry soup, mmmmm!

Wow! What an incredible motivational speaker!!! Thanks for turnin' me onto him!!! I bet many of us can identify with many parts of his narrative!!

Maybe your liver is still angry with you for putting him on that nasty liver shrinking liquid diet? Seriously I believe it will work out okay in the end. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

@Debbie9966 new clothes, sizes - are one of the best NSV's sad i'll be seeing "less and less" of you keep up the great job. kathy congrats

You have to let go of the shame, you can't move forward unless you are kind to yourself. My two grandgirls age 8 and 10 live here, they don't know what kind of surgery I had but they understand Grandma is on a specific plan and getting healthy. My adult kids know and where very on board with it and cheer me on. I did not tell a lot of other people, only a select few.

You should be very proud of your results. You look fantastic and I am sure that you probably feel even better!
