I'm on day 4 of pre op. Struggling at times but I haven't cheated... I am on full liquids so cottage cheese, cream Soups and yogurt are ok. I mix all my Protein in with those typically. But it's getting old, quick. I feel your pain. A lot more difficult then I imagined it would be.

That would be tough. I'm glad that my husband has been making dinner for the kids. They have been enjoying pizzas a lot lately, lol!

I just can't stand the idea of cooking and not eating it. So my hats off to you! I love the coloring book idea.

Hang in there. I just kept telling myself 'if I can't do this I shouldn't have to surgery...the change begins now!' Just keep fighting the food thoughts. Surgery will be here before you know it. I was able to have 2 cups of vegetables a day. I made cabbage Soup that was amazing after a day of Protein Shakes. Can you have vegetables? Recipe- half head cabbage, fat free beef broth, can petite diced tomatoes, diced celery and onions. Bring to boil...simmer for an hour. Good luck! :)

I am on day 10 it does get better, my surgery is tomorrow. Ever time I felt hungry I drank a bottle of Water or a glass of crystal light. Felt like I was sloshing when I walked but it did help with the hunger. Good luck you can do this

Try to think of it as the beginning of a wonderful new life! A fast sounds like such a dreadful thing.

One thing that I realized during my pre-op diet.....that I was never going to feel this desperately hungry again while dieting after surgery. I am 5.5 weeks post op now, and it has been completely true.

This is the hungriest you will ever be. It's all about to change.

When I fast I kept busy. I worked with children, I serviced my clients, and I went to clubs only to dance and mingle. I was 258 starting out then with fasting and staying busy I lost ten pounds before surgery. My surgery was August 24th and as of today I have lost 40 lbs. I try to walk 30 minutes a day and eat right

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
