Mackadoo19 9 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks guys. I agree most of my hunger is in my head. My cravings are soo bad and not seeming to get easier. This is apparently how withdrawal to addiction feels. I'd give just about anything for a burger. Next Wednesday can't come soon enough!! 1 solea78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

behrat 12 Posted February 4, 2014 I start my pre-op diet soon and I feel like I'm starting to panic already. I don't feel like there is any way I can only eat what they want me to for 2 weeks! My husband said "you won't be able to eat a lot after surgery anyway" and I said "I know but my stomach is still regular size right now!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted February 4, 2014 Relax everyone, we all did it prior to surgery. Distant memory now. Just a few days out of your old life, so you should try to distract yourselves. I recommend crockpot cooking if you have a family to feed, because you are not in the kitchen prepping food and cooking. Your life is changing forever with this surgery. so this is just the first step for you pre-ops. I think if everyone takes their mind off food it would really help. Seems like we all are guilty of that, focusing our lives on food, me included. the sleeve has cured that obsession LOL!! I am so thankful...... So happy.....

skinny_minnie_wannabe 30 Posted February 7, 2014 Day 3 for me. Everything is pissing me off. Reminding myself that surgery is Monday. I've heard of ppl having a month long liquid diet (insanity). It could always be worse. Keep it up chick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackadoo19 9 Posted February 8, 2014 So I'm on day 10 and I'm still miserable. It's all head hunger and I'm so mad I can't seem to get over it. I'm also just plain pissy and short tempered on general. I am also freaking out because my baby has a serious cold and I'm scared to death I'm going to get sick and they will cancel my surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
