Hey! Welcome to the crew and congrats on your date! You will eventually feel hunger again, maybe not as intensely but you will feel it. As I said to someone else on this thread, do no second guess yourself. You went through this process for a reason, you decided on this tool for a reason. You’ve got this!

No, but I hate gum anyway, lol

Isn’t that the truth?!!! I’d love some garlic bread right now. I miss chewing so much 😩😩😩

I can relate, I love Italian food but tried to stay away from it. Such a hard task! lol

Same! Ice cream is my addiction! I prefer it over food 😩😩😩

I finished up day 4 as well! The hardest thing is having to cook for someone else or just be around the food knowing you can’t nibble at it. I’m not even hungry, I just want to chew something so bad 😩 hang in there! We are almost there, and then we will have to force these shakes and liquids down

You’re very welcome! 😊

Not so much that it is a Midwest thing, just that it is not a Colorado thing because it's always hot here. lol Yeah the heat in September is getting to be a bit much. Wonky weather, that’s global warming for you amirite?!

“The One Where Everyone is Sick of Their Liquid Diets” 😂😂😂

Indian summer is a Midwest thing? I thought that was an everywhere thing because we acknowledge it here in Connecticut as well, lol

I just completed day 4. 4 more days of full liquids then 2 days of clear liquids. I’m so over it but I know that all of this is worth it. Just want the headaches and dizziness to go away 😩

Don’t second guess yourself! You’ve gone through this process for a reason! You’ve got this! Best wishes!

Thank you! I will be a part of this thread in less than a week now! 😊😊😊

I picked up the mint chewables, wanted the strips but it seems they have been discontinued. And I’ve learned from everyone here too. I love it here, it’s like a big supportive family 😊♥️

Congrats and you do the same! 😘

Your surgeon didn’t tell you to get gas x? That usually what they give you and tell you to have on hand for the gas. Best of luck!

I was under lightly for my upper endoscopy, it wasn’t bad, woke up not knowing anything happened, lol. I’ve never had to spend the night at the hospital either! We have to think about the positive and not the negative. I mean complications are a possibility but we’ve got to believe our surgeons will do the very best they can

Congrats! Mine is a week away! Don’t be nervous! Time to celebrate the new healthy life you’re about to have! 😊

Yay!!! Congrats! Keep up posted! You’ve got this!

Welcome and congrats on your date! And I feel every bit of your irritation on this diet. I’m on day 4 and it is tough. Not because I’m hungry but because I want to chew. I solved the salty problem by having chicken broth (diluted). Best of luck! I’m complaining about the 10 days and you have to do 3 weeks 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hold him hostage if you have to 😉😂

I’m sorry to hear your date keeps being changed. September 28th is autumn but we aren’t about technicalities right? You’re part of the summer surgery family regardless! 🤗

I can stomach certain brands of sugar free jello but I hate the texture of jello, lol. I thank you for the suggestion though. I’m just going to have some broth for the salt and try to manage the whole not chewing thing

Congrats! And also good luck! I’m currently on the liquid diet. And I want something with salt in it and something I can chew so bad, lol

I'm all done. My surgery was at about 7:45 this morning. Anesthesia makes me really sick so I was not a happy camper for a few hours. Once that wore off I've been good. Throat is a little sore. Tummy is also sore. Morphine pump is really helping a lot. My nurse got me some warm decaf tea. It's wonderful. Been sipping Water all day. Did my swallow test. Maybe I can bust out tomorrow instead of Friday. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app Glad you are doing well! Sorry about the nausea. But congrats on the start of your new life!
