You will be okay, the first time you get on the scale and see the weight that has started to leave your body that will be the constant reminder that this is why you did it ! I promise it will be a struggle of mind over matter and remember food does not matter! I am one month out and 43 lbs lost I thought I was going to starve to death but realized I did not get this way over night and have been given the ability to be in control of my life and I will make the best out of it Good luck you can do this !!!!

Um....pretty sure I was allowed Soup at five days post op. stop being down on yourself. There is no way you were able to consume more calories then you should anyways. The surgery stops us from physically eating to much....now you have to work on your head hunger. Good luck!

Thanks but I'm saying this because the soup had carrots, potatoes and chicken in it.. Even though it was very soft..

I did the same thing post op, though it wasn't soup..i was worse :( I did mashed potatoes.. God it sucked they tasted so good. I had to remind myself my stomach is still healing and to not push myself. Next time do your best to remove the bits from the Soup, having been cooked with all the bits, the broth will still taste amazing!!

you have to take this one day at a time.. and remember you did this to yourself to BE HEALTHY and BE HAPPY. Like KBurns said, once you get on that scale, you get so excited. I would step on mine almost daily..and each day a pound or 2..it made me want to do better.. First time I hit 199 (first time in 18 years I had been under 200!) I cried...and I Knew then, everything I had done and was doing was beyond worth it. I would never change my decision. I had 'buyers remorse' the first couple of months thinking of all the place I couldn't eat or buffets I wouldn't go to..but seriously? really? I would miss that? I THINK NOT!

Hang in there and don't be so harsh on yourself!

      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.
