Today I had my pre-op appointment with my surgeon where I was cleared for surgery. I will have to start my liquid diet tomorrow! Not so excited about that! Haha So, today was my farewell to food day, in the sense that I will no longer be eating the way I have been accustomed to my whole life before starting this journey. I had dreams of cupcakes, ice cream, steak, cheeseburgers, chips, cookies and all that garbage. But guess what happened? After all of these months of dieting and portion control, I only ate 1/4 of my steak, 1/3 of my potatoes and small side salad; pushing the croutons to the side. I stopped when I felt full!!!!!! I ate none of the other junk I had hoped to. Later I had a small ice cream cone and 1 small slice of my favorite pizza.... felt like crap all night. I hadn't realized just how far I have come and how bad I would feel. Motivation! I am so scared to have surgery, but I am so ready to take this next step and start this new life. I'm so glad I felt like crap! I know how good it feels to have control. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery yesterday. Nausea everytime tried to drink or walk. Right rib cage and right shoulder really hurt. Though incisions didn't bother me much. But the tender core muscles was hard. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have had no energy at all yesterday and today! I'm 8 weeks out. Average water intake is 108oz, protein range 78-128oz, calories 650-800. Have been walking every day, getting about 7500 steps daily right now. Pooping every other day, taking all my vitamins and minerals. What gives? Yesterday and today I hit what felt like a physical wall - like I just couldn't walk another step. A bit like the early post-surgery days, actually. I'm baffled - anyone else had this??

Thank you, FluffyChix!!

Good luck tomorrow!

Thank you! I will look for dress for success! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

If make sure you’re getting in all yourmprotein. That will help with hunger

I experienced this 7yrs ago when I had a ballon inserted, By the end of 6 months My Doctor had resigned. I had to go to another hospital entirely to get the ballon removed. It wasn't a funny situation. Just hang in there though, it will be worth it in the end.

Exciting!

I am just like you!! I had no hunger for the longest time and even now I only have the tiniest bit. I forced myself to eat after a while because I was getting shaky but stuck to about 4 tablespoons. Even now if I have a little more than that I don't get a tight feeling. Once or twice I accidentally ate too much when I didn't measure something and I felt nauseated, but still no tightness. So you're not alone. Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app
