G2gomackenzy 3 Posted June 12, 2014 Day 5 of the liquid diet now and the only time I find it tough is when I'm making my daughter her supper. I think I'm lucky as I don't have to cook for the whole family. Hubby works evenings and our 17 year old is always out so I'm not as tempted but I tell ya, I heated up some Zoodles for my daughter and just by habit, I wanted to lick the spoon. I'm sure that wouldn't have done any harm but I'm set in my mind, 100% all the way. Then, of course, hubby comes home and starts eating chips in bed, ahhaha. He is great and supportive because if that did bother me, those chips would have been thrown out the window!! hahah. Anyways, I was down 11.1 pounds this morning, Day 5. Doing good. I even had my husband do my "before" pictures last night. Scary I tell you, from all angles. Can't wait for the "after" and "progress" pictures to come. All the best everyone I can relate my partner Is a sugar hound and started munching on M&M's the I the day lol. Stick with it!! It's worth it. I'm 2nd day post op. Procedure wasn't bad, it's the gas pain that keeps bothering me. But I just keep walking Thank you! I came home tonight to steak and a hamburger from LoneStar on the counter! Took a whiff and proceeded to make my shake and Jello. :-). I'm sticking with it :-). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtibodo2 9 Posted June 15, 2014 How did everyone do? How are you June 10th people feeling now? I am scheduled for Monday the 16th? I am so nervous now! Wandering if this is the right decision... Was it worth it? Is it going to really be worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zuzzieq7 2 Posted June 16, 2014 Yes the 1st couple of days are rough---for me the hunger pains were the worst along with shoulder, neck and headache pain. As long as I stay on top of my premier drinks I am good. sleeping better I actually got 6 hours of straight sleep. Anyone else waking up with hunger pains in the wee hours of the morning or is that just me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cabisi 2 Posted June 16, 2014 I had my bypass surgery on June 9th. The liquid diet was (is) very hard because Im so tired of sweet stuff. I want something savory. Tastes bother me more than hunger. Now that Im a week post op there is no real hunger, just emotional hunger of not having something tasty to look forward to. Walking helps a lot! I have no post op pain, except for where my gallbladder came out. Emotions are just hitting me hard today. I can tell things are changing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drummergirl505 7 Posted June 17, 2014 Yes the 1st couple of days are rough---for me the hunger pains were the worst along with shoulder, neck and headache pain. As long as I stay on top of my premier drinks I am good. sleeping better I actually got 6 hours of straight sleep. Anyone else waking up with hunger pains in the wee hours of the morning or is that just me? I have been waking up with dreams of food in the middle of the night. Things that sound so good, but I don't know if I am really hungry or want to taste the food. I have been having shoulder and back pain too. The walking helped today, but not yesterday! I guess it is also time not just movement. I think some of my pain is muscular because I am not used to laying on my back or sitting around so much. Good luck! Hope we can beat the nighttime munchies!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
