Hi,I am 15 days post op now

1 week liquides

1 week mush

yesterday my first meal

My husband sets the timer on the stove(20 min) and I eat with chop sticks (slowes me right down) when I get really hungery I play tricks on myself

I say to my self my husbands talking me to the Keg for a nice diner,I don't want to spoil that so I have a drink Water or whatever and its fine.

evan at the diner table every one is eating wonderful food and I have fish to make my protine for the day,I say to myself (THIS SUCKS)BUT ALSO

When I am done my meal 20 min and let it sit for 10 (30 min ) I am still feeling like I am depriving myself I will have a bite..I never do I am full

This has gone on in my head since my pre op diet...I got on the scale today I have gone from a 217 to 195 in 26 days OMG its all about playing with you own hunger and mind

sorry I am long winded hope that helps alittle

Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences. Today is my second day since surgery and I am already feeling hungry. My liquid diet is for weeks one and two. Yikes! I am older (61) and had a large hernia repaired. I wonder if that's why my liquid phase is longer. Anyway, all of your comments might help me get through it. Thanks for being here.
