The hunger started tapering off after about 4 days or so. I had food dreams after 4 days but it was a lot more tolerable then. Drink lots of water. Every time I think about cheating I tell myself I have to drink 24oz of water. By the time I’m done, I no longer have the urge. That or the urge is a lot less.

Head hunger is much better! My stomach is very noisy but I don’t feel it like I did days 3-4. I’m sooooo ready! If 16lbs makes me feel this great, I can’t imagine hitting goal!

Thank you! I love following your posts! So thanks for all the good words

Thank you! I’m headed in the right direction!

Amazing! Such an inspiration!

At the end of the day, if the original post would have been in the infamous “confessions” no one would have said anything! Good grief SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️

talk about it being a mental game!

Such a good hubby! My husband made spaghetti at 2am two nights ago because he knows the torture I’m going through. The best part is that he is the worlds worst house keeper. He rinsed all the dishes and loaded them in the dishwasher. The only evidence was the half empty box of uncooked noodles sitting on the counter. God bless his soul! I have to feel bad for my hubby tho. I do all the cooking and shopping. I sent him to the store for some SF jello, and whatever he wanted to eat for the week. He emerged 1 hour later with a bag of... I hope he survives this process and he doesn’t resent me afterward. Im just kidding! He will love me more for it [emoji173]️

I’m dying lol [emoji23] one can hope... *sigh*

Interesting how things change after! I hope I despise chips! LOL

It sucks for sure! But I’ll be there rooting you on during yours as well! [emoji8]

Amen.

I would steer clear of ice cream, but if you must, then I would def do Halo Top brand!

You guys are too funny. It's crazy the things that we crave when we can't have anything LOL. Green beans *crying face*

The nausea is horrendous and the fog! I think I walked into my bedroom three different times before I remembered why I kept going in there. TGIF!

Thanks for all the encouraging words! Doing better today

I’m very much ready! Ready to feel good, look good, and be healthier! [emoji173]️

You look amazing! Congrats!

The lower the score the better is correct. At a score of 5, I'd highly doubt they would recommend a CPAP.

I’ve had a total of 12carbs (in the shakes) and 365 calories. Man o man, i didn’t know it would be so hard.

This could be an option for you.

I can’t agree with you more, as far as, my hopeful future relationship with food. Im day 2 on preop. My friends have asked me what I ate for my “last meal”. I ate something I enjoyed but, I didn’t overindulge. I told them that I’m not considering it my last meal. I hope that I will be able to enjoy the majority of things at some point in the future. The difference is that I won’t binge eat it.

When you put it into perspective...4 minutes.... This is why I follow you! Good advice!

I literally started clapping in my living room! Well said.

My doctor said I could eat a whole box a day if I wanted to. (I don't of course). But it is a good way to get fluid in after surgery.
