tijuana is cartelville......maybe the surgeons are good but the city is by far not the safest place to be....Mexacali is a good choice , feel good about that . -

I've only lost 3 pounds .... I broke down and called my doctor's office lol. I asked her if I could at least have something hot at night when I go home I hate cold and sweet drinks I probably won't have another chocolate shake for years to come -

I see a lot of comments referring to head hunger. I'm trying to be more cognoscente of realizing when that is happening but being on a liquid diet has me reeling with hungry hungry thoughts , last night I felt like I needed to be caged up ...LOL . I wanted to cry a couple times I felt so hungry . I saw that Metamucil capsules can be helpful with that , has anyone tried this? Does head hunger actually make you physically feel hungry like your belly has the rumbly tumblys and everything or is that true hunger.....because if that's head hunger I'm in deep shit. Someone mentioned about there Family eating in front of them , I thought I'd be ok with this but I had the strongest reaction to my family making burgers last night , I was so agitated and again "starving" it was just upsetting , I hope this isn't what I have to look forward to post op, I'm getting kinda scared about it. -

Pre-op diet ideas
jbrooks_rn replied to momoftwins+1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A lean cuisine sounds like heaven to me right now but I have to have 90 gm of liquid protein , an apple and a banana each day ... No mention of anything else .....my doctor doesn't play so I'm not wanting to take any chances. ...your LUCKEEEEEE -
Feeling so anxious -pre op
jbrooks_rn replied to jbrooks_rn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm definately pretty miserable pretty close to tears I'm so hungry ....but I'm holding back because I think crying over hunger is weak especially when there's people of the world experiencing REAL hunger.... I'm frustrated Cuz I read so many variations of the pre op diet I pretty much have the suckiest most difficult one to have. I have to keep reminding myself that I got myself in this situation so suck it up buttercup. .....I'll consider that zzzzquil , I'm Leary of sleep aides ....had a bad experience years back , but I'm breaking down to the idea of trying something. -
I'm on day 4 of liquid protein diet , I'm sooooo hungry and terribly anxious....the last 2 weeks have been rough too ....insomnia from hell . Oh yes and I feel like I'm getting a cold , which means my surgery may be postponed .....not a fan of this idea.
