Does your hunger increase when 'Aunt Flow' comes to town for her monthly visit? I feel SO hungry right now :angry:

Yes, I've had her twice and I get so hungry I could bite a baby. I don't but I could. Also, I find that I retain Water so much more now (drinking barely 60 oz) than I did pre-op (drinking over 100 oz).

I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear this! Not for your sake of course, but I thought for sure maybe I had done something to stretch my tummy out and now my new curse will be hunger for a lifetime! Thank you ladies for giving me hope that this will pass :)

I LOVE you people! Of course I'm 'emotional' right now, so I might just really 'like' you :)

I was at my surgeons the other day and asked him about the stretching of the stomach and he told me it would take several years of overeating to actually do any stretching. I was very relieved to hear this because I was very paranoid about it. :)

Good grief! Count me in on this... I couldn't figure out why yesterday I was all of a sudden feeling like I couldn't hang on to the liquid diet. My husband came home with Safeway chinese last night because he got off work late and all I could do was stare at that stupid plastic tray and picture myself just licking a piece of General Tso chicken or something... and I don't even like it! It's greasy and disgusting! And of course I was getting pissed off (like it's his fault I was trying to have a major caloric meltdown). Couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. And then I looked at my bc pill pack and realized I'm totally in range. Thank goodness it will pass!!! Best of luck ladies!

I was just going to post something about this! Today has been awful! I have just been hungry all day and nothing seems to satisfy me! I even added some weight (which, doesn't really bother me...I know it is Water weight from Auntie Flow's soon-to-be-visit) today, about 3 pounds, despite being on track with calories and quality foods. Ugh...if reincarnation is real, I want to come back as a man!

Yep, eat like it's my job during that time, and specifically my craving for meat is ridiculous, I attack a rare steak like a velociraptor! In the 2 days right before, red meat and chocolate and my boyfriend! :rolleyes:

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
