Hey Melixxa! Yes, I made it and feel much better.... On day 4, I felt much better..... I had a BANGING headache on day 3, so I was so glad that the horrible,feeling abated.... I think my stomach shrunk and I have lost 10 pds in the past 7 days of pre op. so, I'm happy about that. Next up? Surgery tomorrow! Wish me luck!!!

Yup!! I'm taking 6 weeks off and want to take 8!! I just want to be back to soft foods before I have to go back to the "real world"....

Ok, so..... At least I'm not alone...... I cheated with some mashed potatoes today because I am so damn HUNGRY!! I have had a headache all day, im sad and angry and have to cook fir my family ( have a 9 year old), and these shakes are hard to drink, and personally I'm tired of drinking everything on this pre op!!! It's only day 3 of my 7 day pre op, but like a couple others, my girl that had the sleeve had NO pre op!!! Wth?!!? Soooooo, it seems like since one person ate hot wings the night before... And my friend had absolutely NO pre op.... And was fine.... How bad is it if I have a baked chicken wing?? It's making me doubt my decision.....but then i look at my friend who was a size 20 ( my current size) and is now a 4!!!!( if I could just get to a "single digit" size I would be sooooo happy. But today.... Even THAT thought can't replace my frustration and desire to cheat..... So..... Can I have a baked chicken wing? Lol

So..... I am glad to see this post.... I am having surgery on 6/25, started a pre op diet of: raw veggies (3 of my 4 other friends had never heard of being able to have this (????), strained cream soups, broth, strained regular soup, pudding, cream of wheat, oatmeal and these protein shakes. I am sooooooo frustrated today, yesterday and the day before ( started this on Tues), and have cried multiple times each and every frickin day. I have a husband and 8 yr old ( like I'm sure most have families)!, so I can't get away from the food smells and having to cook for my child! My husband works late, so it's left to me.... So, I am dying.... And am really wondering if I can do this.... It's only been 3 days and I am very angry and sad right now. I feel like I keep telling myself just what you said : " it'll be better after"..... But it's NOT HELPING me now and I'm literally just pissed. To top it off, I am a pro photographer and have a 8-9 hour wedding tomorrow ( what the HECK am I going to do there!???? I can't stop to eat a damn pudding cup!! I also have a stressful "day job" and have to work until the day before surgery, and my 8 year old's 9th birthday is Saturday. I'm drowning..... And it's really adding to me wanting to just give up......

i'm having mine on June 25th as well :-) I started my week of pre-op and I feel like I am STARVING! LOL (i know it's mental... and I know this is soooooo worth it.) Im excited and a little scared too, but I try to put it out of my mind... :-)
