It seems like everyone I talk to has to follow some pre op diet. I just had my pre op appointment today and I asked if there is any liquid diet, or Nasty crap I have to drink and they said no. Has anyone else had not to follow a pre op diet? I obviously am not going to go out and eat McDonalds, but it just seems weird.

I think I would live in regret if I didn't have a food funeral, I would recommend you eat what ever your little heart desires but in moderation.

Loookkkkiiinnngg good! Lol! Congrats!

You look amazing!

That's awesome!!! Congrats!

Wow Meredith! Great job. You look fantastic.

I am salivating just from reading this!

you so not alone! I am almost 4 weeks post op and it is getting a ever so slightly better. I love that your NUT called it food porn, hahaha.

Don't feed the troll.

Are we sure this is a real person? I dont think our belly could tolerate OJ.

I have given up all those things too,kudos to us! =) I make tutus and dresses for my 3 daughters in spare time now,if I have any...lol I have 4 kids total so I still do't have much free time.

So I have found out something about myself, I am SO boring! Since I have taken away smoking, drinking coffee, drinking booze, eating and cooking I HAVE NO LIFE!!! I know it doesn't help that I have been out of work for the past 3 weeks, but I have no hobbies to fill my time. I have also been depressed since the surgery so I am in no mood to create some fun. I can't go to the gym yet because I severely hurt my muscle that they cut threw and I have stabbing pain which exercise makes so much worse. My friends aren't inviting me out because I am "recovering". I am sick of doing nothing except looking at my cats all day. Does anyone have any suggestions of hobbies or activities that a former foodie may enjoy?

I had a very similar experience 1.5 weeks out when I ate full fat sour cream, and full fat whipped cream.. Yeah it took me two times to figure out not to eat full fat stuff... I told my doc this and she is like yeah you don't get dumping, but it was what I would think dumping is. It was defiantly a horrible experience, so I won't be doing that again.

Worst: nausea from anasthesia, unexplained nausea in subsequent weeks, not being able to binge (hey, food was the live of my life!), sometimes feeling like I'm missing out as others are eating a meal, the too-full sick feeling I get from eating just a little bit too much
Best: the quick weight loss, esp at the beginning; not being able to binge (yup, it goes in both categories); shopping in my closet; feeling like I control food instead of vice versa.

Will your insurance cover or will you cash pay? Lucky dog you!

Whoa. This thread got weird in a hurry.

Glow worms rule! I have 4 by my bedside that glow in the dark! But anyway I lost 21 lbs in the first 1.5 weeks, then NOTHING for almost a week now

Maybe switch to Decaf and add a small amount of coconut oil?

Damn I thought this post was "how to get a hot date with the sleeve" I guess I'll keep trying to figure that out.. Good luck with your date though

I think people on this forum are really beginning to get mean. A few weeks ago someone put up a post about not attacking each other and I"m going to reiterate. I was just recently attacked several days ago and i just want to make a point. We are here to support each other, not knock each other down. This forum was a God send when I had my surgery and I am so thankful to have met so many supportive people cheering me on so now I'm going to cheer on Rosy.
Rosy this is a difficult journey and I have to say that your doctor has made it more difficult for you with the strict diet that he has you on. I'm not going to knock a doctor and I certainly don't know your condition or the reasons why you are on this strict diet but I can tell you that if I had to be on that strict a diet 10 days post op I would want to cheat too. I know that right now you are feeling like you made the worst decision of your life but really once you pass this hurdle you will look back on this and say to yourself "omg thank God that's over, but thank God I did it and the worst is behind me" keep holding on keep on trying keep on because I can tell you that it will be so worth it when your health has improved and you just feel better.
Keep your chin up and keep plugging away and don't cheat, but if you have to cheat cheat with something that's not so bad like low sodium broth....you should not feel guilt about that sweetie, you feel guild about a sundae:))
