I've been losing about a pound a day since my surgery which is awesome but at the exact same time I ge t kind of freaked out abotu how fast the weight is coming off. I find myself worrying avout it and thinking things like "can this even possibly be safe or healthy?' It makes me nervous! Am I just a fruit loop or have others experienced these same feelings?
I'm new too and felt exactly like you before my surgery on Dec 3rd. I now understand already what people are talking about! My appetite is just not there anymore which feels like such a blessing and that is how I am able to be on an all liquid diet for the last 10 days without cheating or any cravings. It is actually amazing! Before surgery I was on the pre-op diet for 10 days where I had 3-4 Protein shakes and a small meal. That was so much more than I'm eating now and I was starving. I too, was never able to stick to any diet plan in the past but with the grehlin greatly reduced, my appetite is now completely manageable. Yours will be too and that, my friend is how you will be successful!
I had my sleeve done on December 3rd and will be starting the soft foods diet on Monday next week. On Tuesday, my supervisor is taking my coworkers and I out for a holiday lunch at a Mexican restaurant! I literally am freaking out about this! It will be my 1st time going out to eat, I will be on soft foods for only the 2nd day, I will be with my boss, yikes! Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
