Glad you're home safe and sound - the pain will pass in not time flat -- and soon you'll be back in school and too busy to even think about food, let alone be consumed with everyone around you talking about it!

HEY girlie!!

I am so happy for you!! The pain will pass and you will feel better!! Mentally hungry that also will pass...or you will at least be able to control it. VegasAngel also said she noticed after the surgery she realized how much people talk about food and socialize about food.

Just be careful when you start mushies, so you dont over do....

GLAD YOU ARE HOME-----Glad your done with your surgery.

The pain will go away in time! It is just from the drain......I am 42 days out and feel good!!

KEEP THE FAITH BABY!:smile:

Congratulations! Glad you made it and are home now safe and sound.

Everytime i see food on the tv, which is like every single commercial, especially after 5pm, I have to switch it ASAP!! My husband always saying, hey, what happened to the show we were watching??!?!??!

Welcome home!

I understand about the food thing. I am not even sleeved yet and I am already tired of food talk 24/7. I have really been careful about my own food issue the last 4 months and I look around and see many people who have food issues too.

there are way more people with food issues than there are people with fat issues. i am the only really fat person in my family. everyone else is average sized and they are not helping

Hang in there Alisia. Just keep thinking about those new clothes you want. Maybe looking for a hot new outfit for the upcoming holidays.

Glad to see you are back home and doing ok.

I agree. I know a few thin people with really dysfunctional relationships with food. The dysfunction just keeps them thin instead of making them fat.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
