I wouldn't mind a Chilis big-mouth burger rt now, with fries...lol! I can't really say I have had dreams of food, but I have craved stuff...mostly things like pringles or pretzels...I think it's the salty, crunchy that I want.

Good luck with your shakes....this too shall pass!

What shakes are you using? Today is my 3rd day on liquids and I've been on Unjury, chocolate (not shabby) and vanilla (yucky). I find mixing in the blender with ice and making a thick shake, makes them 100 times better. Also, for lunch I just had the Unjury chicken broth (powder/add water); it was great! I added a bit of pepper. Good luck!

Your title made me laugh and I started thinking about what a hamburger taste like. I think I forgot. It's been so long (for me that is).

Don't worry you will get use to the liquids and you will be able to tolerate being around skinny people eating their hamburgers while you are sipping on a Protein shake or broth.

Just keep your eye on the prize.

Good luck on your journey!

My dog is diabetic and I have to give him fresh foods every day. Some days chicken, other days hamburger, potatoes, etc. He gets chocolate (thats safe and made for dogs) and Dog Ice Cream as a treat after he gets his needles. Luckily I havent had the urge to raid his 'refrigerator' LOL

I found this to be funny. While I am not dreaming of food; sometimes at night I think about hamburgers. Esp the juiciness that is released when you take a bite. I don't even eat red meat on a regular basis. I have'nt had a hamburger in a year.

I keep thinking about a tub of movie popcorn with melted butter. I also keep wondering if I should have had some fantastic last meal. I didn't because nothing sounded that fantastic at the time and because eating anything that fantastic was what got me to this point in the first place.

I keep telling myself that 2 weeks of Protein shakes twice a day and a lean cuisine (never liked them much bf but now find myself looking forward to this small amount of solid food that now seems to taste incredibly good, lol) and three weeks of liquids after the surgery are really a small price to pay for what I hope to be a lifetime of healthy living.

This is too funny, my wife actually had a dream about a cheeseburger too while she was on her Pre-op Liver dient. She has told everyone. Told her I would make her one on week 3/4.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
