I agree with optimist. It is a lifestyle change and a serious one at that! You have to decide what is more important. The foods and drink you enjoy as a part of your social and work life,that helps keep you physically where you are now. I know you want to feel better and be healthier:) You should definately keep reading literature and get an understand that once you have surgery the eating and drinking change. There are pros and Cons to consider snd you should weigh them all.You may want to talk to the Psychiatrist again about your feelings which is ok:)
Godspeed to you on your journey!

Hang in there! Think about the weight you will loose Pre-Op:) and the benefit of decreasing the fat around your liver so the surgeon can better do there job. It is definately not easy but you can do it !
My surgery Dec 31st- TWL=38pds

Make sure you are not gaining more than 2 pounds in one day. If so you should contact your Dr or the ON call Dr to see what they think. Several days of that would not be good. Stay encouraged and don't stop believing in your dream!

Ask your nutritionist. It may be the lack of Water. Water is the catalyst for so many things in our body. Hang in there!

Have any of you had hunger so soon after post op period. I was hoping that due to "Ghrelin hormone" being reduced because a large portion of my stomach had now being taken away;which Dr's think is a benefit of the sleeve surgery. I fill like it is hunger but will drink some Water and Protein Drink and feel full but the hunger feeling is still there. I saw on a couple other threads people stated it could be acid indegestion or reflux. I am on Prilosec but maybe need another dose? I have also seen people refer to head hunger.
How are you differentiating head hunger vs real hunger?
How do you deal with your family eating regular food around you and they are many of the foods you favored before? The smells create cravings that thankfully can't be quenched!
It is obvious that the psychological part of this journey is an important and aspect to really focus and meditate on.
Thank you all:)
