Hey. I'm 11 days post op for the first week I wasn't hungry but all of a sudden the hunger has come back. I try to drink lots of hot tea normally helps or just keep busy. I started my soft food diet 4 days earlier than I was suppose to and so far so good. But honestly hot milky tea. Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

Hiya It is hard first 3 days are the worst then you just get over it and do it. I was soo focused and dedicated to dropping the most amount of weight. I lost 15lbs on the pre op diet. And I had my surgery 2 days ago RNY Bypass i am Very very sore and in so much pain but the pre op diet helps you wean off food so you can tolerate small amounts. I don't even get hungry anymore so keep going and keep your eyes on the prize. Good luck Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

Hi. Just had my last appointment before my pre-op liver shrinkage diet. It's getting so so real 4 weeks and 4 days until my op. 14th September I'm going in. Getting my head around the liver shrinkage diet anyone offer any advice for that? Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

Yehh I went through this process 4 years ago all the tests and all that took 2.5yrs due to very large waiting lists and priority patients like if you are like 400 lbs and diabetics get seen too. So I didn't get funding for a band. Then I asked to get referred again that was maybe like 5 months ago I went to see surgeon 31st may this year by 2nd week in June I had a surgery date. I have high blood pressure now so I was seen quickly. I was asked to loose 14lbs I have done 13lbs trying to shift some more now as much as I can. Ahhh I'm going to disney in paris on Saturday my husband and I went in October was AMAZINGGG! Hope you have the best time. How long did you wait?
