liquids don't stay in your stomach and are no indication of the restriction you will feel once you are on solid food.
And no it doesn't fix food addiction or your mind. Your mind can just outright lie to you about 'needing' that food. Learning to 'sit' with the feelings of anxiety, fear, grief, etc takes a huge effort. It may require therapy, meditation, medication and time. We all need to find out how to bring that calmness to the body physically that food brings chemically.

Thanks everyone. It's a bit scary when you feel like you had surgery and it doesn't work.

I'm 14 days post op and after reading this I'm almost positive my surgeon used a large bougie. I'm easily getting in 1200 calories but I'm also in the gym for an hour a day.

I have little one too. We eat alot of chicken now. I didn't really freeze much. But I've got cheese sticks, yogurt, shaved black forest ham, Whisps, and vegetarian vegtable Soup on hand all of the time.

Thats awesome “Sherry Rice” good luck on your diet!!

Yes they do suck lol especially the Premier Protein shakes! Atkins shakes are pretty decent! Thats what help me get through my pre-op diet! I have three more weeks to go before i can advance to mushy foods [emoji19]i cant wait!

I start mine tomorrow. Im looking forward to cleansing my body and getting it ready for a new beginning. [emoji4]

No i don’t i have very nice teeth actually, the doctor even gave me a compliment on my smile[emoji16]its just something my surgeon have all his patients take among a lot of other medications!

Nystatin is an anti fungal. Sometimes if you have to take antibiotics you can get thrush in your mouth so that maybe why

“Rainbow_Warrior” congrats on your surgery, do you feel any restrictions at all?

I really feel amazing, no nausea not a whole lot of pain at all, i keep asking my family are you’ll sure i had surgery lol, i have a little pain in the abdomen area and a sore throat but thats it! Congratulations on your up and coming surgery, i wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! Are u currently on a liquid diet?
