The only time I got that feeling was when I ate something too thick or I had gas have you tried gas x?

I went through 9 months of prep and i knew on day 1 I wasn't fully ready I think it's because no matter how much you prepare until you actually experience it you don't fully understand. I know some of the girls have felt the head hunger plenty of times, especially me. It gets better just try and hold on to why you did this and when you see the results your doubts will slowly disappear. It gets better Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal

@ try a sleep bra helped relieve a bit without the pushing very comfy I got mine on Amazon for like 13 bucks...I have never ate cottage cheese I'm so afraid to try...I want mashed too have to wait another week I believe (according to my book anyway)

I learned today that my body is NOT ready for a bra. The heavy weight of my breasts made my chest hurt. I just want to lie on my bed for the rest of the day!
My first post op is tomorrow and I bought cottage cheese because that is what I want to eat first. Also, mashed potatoes.. but I'll find out tomorrow what I can eat. I'm looking forward to having cottage cheese.< /p>

AMEN to that @@Lindsey Skinner Abbott
These are my goal jeans. I have them where I can see them in my room. Size 11. I know I will make it beyond this, but right now, this is my goal. I looked damn good in these jeans once upon a time. It's just a small sacrifice in exchange for a healthy life.

how are you guys doing? please post and talk about your experiences. I have surgery on the 6th of june in just a couple of days

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I hope the imodium works!

I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

I don't know if you have alread tried it or not, but I put 6 oz of lite apple juice into a 32 oz bottle and filled the rest with Water. I drank that the whole day yesterday and today I had a good BM. I've been so relaxed today after that. I was shocked that it worked since I only used 6 oz. It's worth a try, no?

I still have "those thoughts" about food. Even when I'm physically satisfied I still mentally want to keep eating until I have a "normal" amount. That has been my biggest struggle the past few days

Good morning and happy 1 week anniversary! Hehe..
What are your weights for week 1?
HW - 253.6
SW - 231.8
CW - 225.4
TWL - 28.2 LBS
Since surgery, I've only lost 6.4 pounds but, I gained 3.2 right after surgery and I lost that too. So I really lost 9.6 pounds. Maybe I should change my surgery weight to 235 since that is what I weighed right after surgery.
What do you guys think!?

I just had my follow up and I am down 15lbs since surgery. I was cleared to go back part time to work. I must say that I am feeling pretty worn out after today's activities maybe a week of not eating is catching up to me. I am looking forward to the soft food stage in two weeks. I read someone on here are Pasta and chicken two weeks after surgery and the chicken was stuck! Her scare is enough to keep me on line!

Dang, that means it will still hurt after they are removed.
So lucky for me, I am not suffering from head cravings. Yey.. I am staying with my mom while I recover because I am single and live alone. She is just cooking up a storm. You know how it is when your mother cooks.. WOAH! I could eat her rice alone without anything. Fortunately for me, it's not bothering me in the least bit. I'm very lucky for that too.
I have to say that I have been very lucky during my recovery. Today is my first day without pain meds.
Keep your head up ladies, it will only get better now.

Yeah I only go for 4 oz of Soup. But I only eat it once a day. I try to get my Protein in the rest of the time. And Water after that.

I only have pain on my left side now. My surgeon said that when they stapled me on that side, they got some muscle. They said it's perfectly normal. I hope it goes away once my staples are removed. I'm so tired of these staples that I'm actually searching stores that sell surgical staple removers. My incisions are perfectly healed. But my clothes moves the staples and then it becomes irritated at the staple holes. Sorry... short rant of frustration...

@ yes u r lucky, haha!!
