    I haven't experienced it but I am going in for a drastic cut tomorrow just to help my hair. I plan on just below the shoulders so its about a 6" cut since I've just been growing it

    Surgery was 1/15/19. I find I do get hungry but hard to know if it's my eyes or my stomach. I'm getting in my fluids and Protein. I'm down 40 lbs so far. My knees & back hurt much less. Slow and steady wins the race so I'm just trudging along. I can say that I am following my food plan to the t. Although I have eaten 2 French fries but that's it. I hope all my January friends are doing good.

    I did not puree. I chewed and chewed and chewed. I call it chewing beyond any recognition of flavor lol

    How are all January sleevers doing? I'm 2.5 weeks post op. Just trying to get in my Water and Protein. It can sometimes be a battle.

    Ellens531 got a reaction from LadyBeasley in A week post op & I’m 2 steps from sucking the juice out of a hamburger   
    I felt the same way. I wanted to lick it. I just tried to ignore it and eventually the burger was eaten by him and gone. Everything he makes or buys for dinner smells so good. Right now it's in my head but today I felt me stomach growl for the first time since surgery on the 15th. Monday I start puree/soft. I hope it helps to satisfy my head hunger

    First night was rough. I was soooooo thirsty and not allowed to drink more than 2 oz in 1 hour. Each day I got better. Today was my first day back at work. I'm still on clear which sucks. I was just allowed to try 1 oz of Protein Shake to see how it goes. I've done 2 oz and so far so good. It was nice to get a different flavor. I'm sick of sweet sugar free Jello and ice pops. Due to the holiday today, my follow up dr appt was moved to Wednesday. At that point I will be able to move to the next food phase which I'm excited about. I've been in clear over a week. You will do great, dont worry. I tried my hardest not to he nervous but at the hospital before surgery my BP was 188/95. Thankfully its gone down. Please try to sleep when you are tired so that you will have the energy to walk walk walk .

    I had my surgery Jan 14 . I definitely am hungry. But I have noticed even when I have Soup , I feel satisfied. But an hour later hungry again . I’m sure once we can have something solid , we will feel better.
