I had my sleeve done Wednesday.. I was on a 2 week liquid diet and occasionally lean mean at dinner. I didn't cheat once.. I made it through thanksgiving and all the leftovers without touching anything.
I'm not hungry and I recognize it's just head hunger and cravings but im just so sad because I'm just mourning all my past habits, I suppose. I see foods in tv or commercials and just crave it. I guess you can say I'm in the regret stage of it all. I think once I can move on to at least full liquids and keep progressing I'll feel better. I'm hoping...

Thank you so much! It's so nice to know others felt this way and I'm not some ungrateful person who keeps eating lol Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

I'm going to be completely honest with you. I went ape sh*t before my surgery. Once i got a date i got this deep seeded fear of missing out. Which is ironic because I had that feeling when fighting forward through the appointments and waiting for insurance approval. I think that's just human nature. 24 days seems like forever but time goes by so incredibly fast.

I think I've gained about that much too. I have been going to weight management and trying to complete all the requirements for surgery since April so I think part of it is losing patience and kinda being over the waiting game. And though 24 days Isn't forever it still just feels too damn far away lol. I really need to get on mostly liquids next week to prepare. What drinks do you use?

I will be having the gastric sleeve in 24 days. I have already been approved by insurance and my leave from work is approved. Until this point I have been so motivated and excited and now that everything is set I'm finding it sooooo hard to stay on track. Did this happen to anyone else? If so how did you get back on track? I'm really struggling and I need some help!

I had the dame issue. I even gained 4 lbs from my consultation to my pre op appointment which was about a month. I got on track 5 days before surgery. Now im on full liquids and dont even think about food. Great feeling. Ive always made food my everything.

I will say I don't have as much pain as I thought I would. The trapped gas is the worse thing I'm experiencing. I've been walking and using the gas x strips. But still hurts. I am very optimistic. My mother and I actually had the surgery done together we are home and recovering together and routing each other on!!

Yes! Once I had my date, I started cheating on the diet even more. It's like I wanted to eat everything I thought that I would never eat again. I was having food funerals. I only got back on track three days before my surgery. I realize this was something I really wanted and that food is not my happiness. Get focus and think deep about the future you want.
