Thanks so much Nelly! I have been out with friends, everyday I have "lunch" at work with coworkers, and the only thing that has bothered is the smells! But, It seemed like it was on purpose since they have been really good to eat in kitchen while I'm in family room. My friend had rny 9 years ago and said that I will have a stage of mourning food! She said its normal. I just don't want to have another break down! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I'm sure it will get better! I'm just emotional right now! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I don't think they mean to be insensitive as I sit and watch my husband and son chow down on chicken while I was watching tv. I purposefully stayed in the great room so I didn't have to watch them eat . I think it's all catching up with me since I have been on liquid diet since march 6th and will be until surgery April 9th. Does this get better? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

It does get better! I have to be on this for 5 weeks. Occupy yourself while other people eat. Go for a walk. Drink a lot if water!!! Stick with it! It won't last forever! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I have been on Optifast since March 6th. I only get 5 shakes per day and one bar and a lot of Water. Yippee! I lost ten pounds my first week! That was exciting! Physical hunger does go away but the brain doesn't shut down! It's a struggle every day. I just keep telling myself, this liquid diet is not forever! It gets me thru. My surgery is scheduled for April 9th. So ready! Beginning weigh: 285 Current weight: 270 Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Hi I'm new to this site! I am scheduled for my surgery on April 9th. Last week just started liquid diet until then. That's rough! I never really realized how commercials affect your thought process about food! Gammot of emotions going on right now, but really excited!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
