I found myself having head hunger. Although I suspect it won't be long till I am actually hungry. Usually gets that way a little later.

Oh the dreaded head hunger. I hope you try to eat something else besides your string cheese?

Oh yes. I like the cottage cheese and might try the egg even though i am not really big on eggs. So far my Soup stayed down.

Mine did too,but I felt full pretty quick. As soon as I started burping I stopped eating. I can see how it would be easy to take one bite too many and feel sick.

Okay, so here's my so-far kitchen. Still have the subway backsplash, cabinet hardware, shiplap ceiling, new light fixture, 3 can lights, crown molding, and new stove to do. Been working on it for two months now. It's at the exciting stage, where it all comes together. It's great to be able to start cooking again.

Very nice @Newme17. You have lots of cabinet space! I need new cabinets. We got new countertops about 5 years ago, but kept the same cabinets because we just couldn't stretch our budget.

So I added some accessories to make it look cuter unfinished. Don't mind my list written on the wall. That's going to be shiplap too. 😊

I had some head hunger early on. I think it was just because I was watching my dh eat and I was only allowed clear fluids. Now that I am able to have shakes and yogurt it hasn't happened again.

Girls... am I the only one that constantly finds herself googling certain foods .. omg I need to stop that.

I keep googling recipes for puréed foods..lol.. and also for ideas on healthy foods to replace my favorites that I really shouldn't eat anymore.

I love crackers and I found a recipe to make cheese crackers with just sliced cheese.

@mishyk I love your profile pic. You are beautiful ☺️

No, I was fine. I think I stopped just in time. No more mindless eating for awhile until we learn the limits of our new stomachs.

I did!!! I actually braved bean and cheese again! Haha. This time I added mushroom broth to the bean to thin it out a bit. I walked around while eating it (seems to help). Once I felt a burp coming on, it was time to stop! I had almost 2 tbsp worth. There was just one tiny bite left, and I knew it wouldn't be good just finish it. So I stopped. This will take some discipline to not finish everything on the plate. I'm pretty good with doing that when it's more than a few bites left, but it was kind of hard seeing one bite left.

        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
