Struggling!

[Michelle_Lynn 55]

9 days post op and I feel like I'm going crazy!

The liquid diet is brutal. While I don't feel "hungry", I DEFINITELY don't feel full. The smell of food is intoxicating and has me reeling.

Physically I feel great. No pain, and I'm doing very light exercise/staying as active as possible. But damn...the mental game is rough!

I'm looking forward to my 3 week check up on the 20th when I assume I'll be advanced to puree.

Staying focused and thinking skinny, healthy thoughts! [emoji1]

I'm 5 days post op and seriously thinking what is wrong with me for doing this during the holidays!! I'm experiencing the same. I'm not feeling full. Physically I'm great no pain, no complications. I'm trying to say busy so I don't think about food. It's everywhere though!

I totally agree! I was so focused on having surgery ASAP that I didn't give any thought to how hard it would be to get through the holidays.

It also doesn't help that I've never been a fan of sweet things and the Protein Shakes are all sweet flavors. I wish someone would make some savory flavored Protein shakes haha
