I'm a week in after surgery. I've had only liquids for a week. Before the surgery I was two days just on liquids. Those two days before were hard for me. After the surgery however I was not hungry for anything, up until the 2nd day after the band surgery. Yes... missing food will be there I'm finding out. I was told to fill up on protein with a protein drink. It has helped.
I did. It took me a long time to start it and get the ball rolling. Over two years. In the end I just had to look at my boys, and just pushed the ball.
