Which means new lifestyle. Does anyone else have this issue? I had the same issue. I wanted all the foods lol but you’re right it’s a lifestyle change. I had surgery the 6th and it made me realize how much and how often I was eating insane amounts of food. The food restriction is a huge mental game. Even now I’m not hungry but my brain tells me I am and had cravings. We call it head hunger. But don’t worry. I encourage you to indulge your last few days before the liquid diet. It’s honestly really hard so enjoy your last unhealthy supper 3 Laughing Bird, Pearldrop and foxcblue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicolebklyn 13 Posted June 18, 2018 Hey everyone - I’m this coming morning in Manhattan- just have insomnia. I also have gastroparesis which makes this interesting. But I want this. Really hope it works out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellokitty19984 27 Posted June 18, 2018 Had surgery June 5th, I'm starting to have pain whenever I drink or eat anything, like a sharp pain as the Water flows down. But for the first time in a while I was just able to drink some juice with no pain. And I'm like 12 days out and wondering about my stitches, also I think I'm getting to addicted to the binder. It sucks in my belly so I'm afraid to stop wearing it 35 lbs down 😁 5 foxcblue, Jsteen, Pearldrop and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
