I wonder if he knows this time the weight will stay off and you will get to a healthy and attractive weight at the same time. The thought of dieting is always knowing in the back of your mind that it will eventually come back. The thought of surgery is the odds are it won't ever come back. This is probably a worry for him. Your changing your lifestyle so he is worried he will be one of the things that are changed. That is my psychological advice and thought for the day thank you lol :)

It is official I have eaten everything I can get my hands on but it might be for the best. I am so sick of food that the thought of eating now makes me feel sick. This could be a good start to a preop diet with little food. I do not want to eat anything else I am done. I am miserable and I do not like lol.

BMJ were you still hungry after surgery? I sure hope I am not hungry at all.

To be honest right after surgery I was starving, I was on Clear liquids for 1 wk and thought I was going to die, but I made it and did not cheat I thought for a second my dr. didnt remove enough of my stomach or something i had no feeling of fullness just an empty hungry feeling so it was hell in my opinion, but after that the second week i moved up to pureed foods which i really didnt puree i just chewed really well and found out the hard way I have a new stomach couldnt even eat a whole scrambled egg after that I've been fine ever since!

Wow that is scary. I do not want to be hungry and starving after surgery. I hope the wanting feeling goes away. That would be pure hell to be so hungry. I am so glad you are doing well now though. Good luck with the weight loss and I hope it keeps falling off.

I know you've probably heard this a thousand times, but it gets easier about the 3rd or 4th day. It's still the hardest part of this whole surgery process. If you can make it through that, the rest is easy.

It took nine days for it to get easier for me. I had a complete meltdown on day 9....then calm.....everything's been good since that day.

A friend of mine who recently had sleeve surgery called it her food bucket list. I hadn't really thought of that and didn't think I wanted to go that route because eating has not been a friend to me....but I did find a week or so ago that I bought a couple things to eat that I would never have allowed myself before. I guess it's part of the process.

Yeah I called it food funerals. It was kind of liberating though because I could actually eat something without the guilt behind it. Then it just became to much then I still felt guilty.

      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.
