I am really battling head hunger and have known that I have a food addiction for a long time. I really have to work on slowing down as I don't want to mess up my sleeve and I'm only 3 weeks out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Recovery is going very well, I never had any pain or any nausea or anything. Of course I'm on puréed right now and sometimes I feel like I can eat and drink more than I am supposed to be able to. How about you, how is your recovery going? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel the same way, I can drink and drink and not feel full. I just started purée and I feel like I can eat way more than I should be able to Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just now saw your post...we should keep in touch since we're so close and have close surgery dates and the same surgeon. Are you having your surgery at Journeylite or at Jewish? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's terrible... I know what you mean with the insurance deductible. My surgeon's office is doing 103 surgeries this month trying to get people in by the end of the year. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was not thinking so much of having a food binge as much as just mentally laying to rest my old relationship with food. I had one of my favorite meals and said goodbye to using food for anything besides satisfying my physical hunger. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I bought the baby spoon and a couple of sippy cups, I also have a portion control plate from one of my failed attempts at weight watchers that I will use when I get to regular foods. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know what you mean on the shots, I am a diabetic and I had a really hard time giving myself shots at first. My best advice for that is don't think about it and just do it. I would sit there for like 45 minutes trying to psych myself up, and in the end I still had to give myself the shot, so just do it. My surgery is out patient and I'm a little nervous about not staying at least one night. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I start my pre-op diet on Monday and for the last couple of days I have been trying to see how long I can make it on liquids. It has not gone well so far. I am going to keep trying, I've got 3 days to get it together. My surgery date is 12/12. I need someone to be accountable to. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm nervous too, I know I need it but you hear so many horror stories on these sites. I've heard lots of success stories as well though. I think sticking to your original date is probably a smart move. We'll be fine. Have you started your pre-op diet? I start mine on Monday. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would like to be a buddy, I don't have my surgery until 12/12/16, but I'm ready to start making friends. BTW how do you add someone as a friend on this site Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
