LightenUp Linz reacted to BigViffer in Silly question
I used to get cold sores relatively frequently as a teenage and young man. Mine were almost always related to the level of stress I was under at the time. But the older I get I have noticed a direct relationship between fucks-given and number of cold sores.
So if you are currently stressed (which would be understandable), it could be the cause as well.

yep - giving in to head hunger will derail you. Also, are you taking a PPI? If not, excess stomach acid can cause what feels like hunger pangs.
When the head hunger hits - try to reset your brain by doing something active - go for a walk or just anything. For me, having my hands active helps - so I colored a lot and started teaching myself to knit - hard to eat and knit at the same time

It sounds like you are doing fine. But, you really do need to increase your fluids and Protein. Both seem low.

My best guess is it's Water weight, and just be patient and the scale will move soon. Even at 1200 cal per day, you should be losing that's why I think it's Water weight or your body is still adjusting to the major surgery. I had a tremendous amount of water retention the first few weeks... Still do off and on. Drink more water to flush it out, like 68 oz at the very least. It'll help curb head hunger too. Like what others are saying, take your PPI as directed so you won't have acid mimicking hunger pains.

LightenUp Linz got a reaction from melunruh in September Sleevers!
Hi! Im scheduled for sleeve 9/29/16, in a week. Im nervous/excited. My surgeon doesnt require a pre-op liquid diet. Im feeling weird about that like maybe i should go ahead and do liquids the week prior anyway :-/. I would love to meet and follow along with some people having surgery around sept/oct to share our journey and support eachother.
