Alright so I know it's a mental thing but the past 2 nights I've cooked my husband dinner I've been on a liquid diet now for weeks and I wanted to eat !! Bad ! I took a small bite and chewed the crap out of it . Which really did nothing more then make me hangry . I convinced myself that I could have mashed potatoes (the instant kinds that normally I hate). What the hell is wrong with me ? I mean I've seen a post on here where people had grilled cheese 3 days post op which is super dangerous but I was ravenous last night . Guys I seriously need help what other foods have you guys had in the liquid phase of the diet ? Soup , pudding , Jello , oatmeal is what I've lived on for like 2 weeks . Any suggestions Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Idk if all surgeons do a nerve block but I would def say it's a great way to stop the pain it will fade gradually and then completely after 90 hours that's what my surgeon said . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Actually right after surgery I was fine not much pain at all just uncomfortable and some pressure. walking definitely helps burping also. Now I'm home and I think the nerve block is wearing off so it's a little more uncomfortable but it's nothing horrible and I'm kind of a big baby when it comes to pain Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So you know this post has no purpose. It’s me venting to people I don’t know so I can say anything which is a amazing because I’ve been pretty quiet at home ( Cant scare my hubby). So my surgery is tomorrow and I’m defiantly nervous.. How much pain am I going to be in ... ? Is this really going to help us get pregnant in the end?? Am I going to be more obsessed with my looks then with the whole reason I’m doing this in the first place? Am I going to maintain a healthy weight After surgery? Will I even get to a healthy weight !? I feel like my head is going to explode. Then the darker things like are people going to say I took the easy way? I’m so sick of people in general . It’s great that people have success with weight loss with self-motivation, diet and exercise, but man is it rough when you have 120 or more to lose to be " healthy" that’s a person! I need to lose a whole fucking person .. So yeah I’m doing this . No regrets. I’m going to be fine and my husband and I are going to make a baby and we are going to be those happy people! .... Well... ok lol that was beneficial

hi I'm the 9th as well, and definitely nervous but excited.. please feel free to ask any questions and I'll try helping the best I can.. though I would like to go home same day I figure it's safer to stay the night and get close medical attention if needed.. Paul12677 Hey Paul12677 Thanks I think I'm going to stay the night . I've had a lot of feed back which is great because for a little while I felt really alone . I'm so happy that I found this site .

I understand how hard the pre op diet is im on it myself I'm also scheduled for 11/09. I've also cheated but have had A bowl of Soup at night.:/ I feel so guilty afterword but I'm starving. I've found that the type or Protein shake makes a big difference! They are a little pricey but help muscle milk ProSeries shakes have 40 grams of protein and are thicker . Also I'm trying really hard to stay busy ( I painted and cleaned my house ) I would tell him . I plan on telling mine even tho I'm so ashamed of myself for cheating . Just start fresh every day .

I'm going in 11/09/2016 .. I'm a little nervous. I've heard such mixed reviews about the surgery . I just found this group and I have so many questions. Like My doctor wants you to do a 7-10 day liquid diet before the surgery which I am currently really struggling with . Anyone have to do this? Also regarding the hospital stay my surgeon asked me if I was interested in going home same day. I was ecstatic and said YES!! but now after talking to a few people they all say I should really stay overnight .. Did anyone else go home same day?
