It's not sad that we find this enjoyable. I'm sure you did or used to enjoy a cup of coffee every morning. It's the same thing. It's not like we're throwing back a handle of vodka! Idk about you guys but when I smoke I just relax I don't even get HIGH (all that giggly stuff) anymore. HippiekyYAY!

I am almost 22 and have only told my immediate family. If I were you I wouldn't tell anyone else and just say diet and exercise because that really is what you're doing! You just have a sneaky tool to help you! This is for yourself it's no one else's business. If I told my friends they'd be like "OMG YOU'RE NOT FAT" "why did you do that I would have worked out with you....." blah blah blah!!! It's better if you keep it to yourself!

We have all been through this! You can do it

OK this is crazy, but here's what I did. I told my brain that my stomach growling, and the stupid dumb pain that comes along with it was pain from my surgery! Because it's not actually a hunger headache, which are the worst by the way, I think you can still trick your body into thinking it's just from the surgery you had a few days ago. Pretend it's a soreness in your belly like your incisions or shoulder pain. It might not work, but it worked for me! And now I'm 11 days post-op and down 17 pounds!

That's awesome! 15 pounds in 4 days?! That's crazy! Congratulations!

Congrats girl! Can't wait till I can see a difference, not a little difference, but a big one!

I took out my nose ring and earrings but left my tragus piercing in and they just put some tape over it. I would think they would want your belly ring out though for sure.

This is going to sound crazy, but when I was post-op in the first week and my stomach growled I literally just told my brain that it was "PAIN FROM MY SURGERY" and I immediately wasn't hungry. It was like I just took the pain and made it something else. Lol I don't know how I did it, but I think that's how today I am able to go without feeling hungry at all. It's nice. I'm only 11 days post-op. GOOD LUCK!

Started smoking 4 days after surgery. I took baby hits and held my stomach in when I coughed. But I'm 9 days post op and nothing hurts. Drink water with lemon instead of eating. That's it!

Congrats girl!

Good luck girl!

Thank you Bibi and Summerrain!

Clear liquids are chicken broths, liquid hellos. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CLEAR COLORED lol

I ate grilled chicken and veggies for every meal and had green tea and lots of chicken broth when I was actually hungry. I did not eat little amounts (maybe this isn't the best advice) but so far I've survived. I did one week preop diet LIKE THIS and I lost 7 pounds. I think it was more the type of food I was putting in me not the amount. (NOW ITS ALL ABOUT THE AMOUNT)

SibleyNP seriously that would be so wonderful! I know it's natural sugars in fruits but I'd still like to steer clear of the ones with higher sugar. I would love a list! Thank you!
