    First time posting on here. I had my surgery October 8th. I had bypass surgery and as far as pain goes it was so much better than I thought it would be. But, I am definately having some head hunger. I can't stop thinking about everything I wish I could eat again. Last night I had some mushy cheerios and it may have been a mistake. Today I feel so full and when I drink even a couple sips I feel like i have eaten too much..not sure if this is the beginning of a stricture or if my pouch is just tight today. This is the first problem I have had since surgery so I'm hoping this is just one of those things that happens and I dont need to go to the ER or something.

    Hi. I had mine on the 3rd. About your experience, I've had something similar happen when I had a pinch of bread. I chewed it up a lot and even then it felt stuck and i felt full for hours. It was dumb of me to cheat and i learned my lesson. Did they ok the cheerios? Are you in the mushy phase right now? If so, any suggestions for foods?

    Also, I'm wondering about something that happens to me. I burp a lot while eating especially if I eat fast. Does that happen to you?

    I hope you feel better.

    Thank you

    I made if to the other side. I'm not going to lie, I am in a lot of pain but I think most of it is gas pain that's having trouble getting out. I just keep telling myself "you wanted this"!

    Hi. I'm 5 days out. Walk, walk, walk hahaha. Someone else said the same thing to me and its true. It will help your recovery and help get that gas out. See if your doctor will let you use gas x too. It helps a lot. Good luck and feel better.

    Hi everyone! I have bypass scheduled for Oct 8th. I started the preop diet 2 days early because I had a couple days eating my favorite food (chicken wings [emoji39]). I didn't do any major damage, but I know I have imperfect eating habits so I'm trying to do the best I can. I've lost 9.5lbs so far since Saturday. I get 3 shakes a day and 2 small low calorie Snacks like a cup or broth or a cheese stick. I'm struggling but I just keep telling myself I've come too far and have spent to much money to go back now! We can do this!

    Hi. Hang in there. You're doing great so far. I lost 10.8 lbs the first week. Today my second week starts. It gets easier. You got this!

    Day 2 of liquid diet and it’s a struggle. I want to bite something savory. Sick of the sweet vanilla chocolate of it all.
    Are you allowed to have broth? I suggest you make your own and then strain it. Store bought ones are not as good as home made ones. Also, I don't know if you're having this issue but I kept craving stuff when I saw others eating it. I don't eat while others are eating. It sounds lonely but it has helped keep me on track. Good luck :)

    My gastric bypass is set for 10/8. Started pre-op diet yesterday. Woke up today w/ a Headache but other than that, it's not awful. A little nervous about the actual procedure and post-op stuff but I'm confident that I'll get thru...My biggest concern is the post-op depression that I've read about on this forum. TBH, that scares me a lot.
    Hi. I'm on the 7th day of my 2 week preop liquid diet (surgery Oct. 3rd). The worse part is the headaches. After a few days the hunger goes away. Keep hydrated. Btw, I'm worried about the depression too. I've lost 10 lbs in 1 week on this diet. I'm hoping that after surgery the weight loss keeps me motivated and hopefully helps with that depression. I hope neither one of us experiences that. Good luck with everything.

    As Matt said, the pre-op does suck. Just always remember to keep a bottle of Water with you. I never leave the house anymore without my water bottle filled.
    Get creative with your liquid pre-op. Get canned Soups (make sure low in fat, sugar, carbs, etc) try to go for the broths, if you like to cook make your own broths and strain and this will help keep you fuller longer.
    Hi. When I got home yesterday I caught up on my water and it did make a difference. Now I just gotta remember to bring it with me. Thank you for the tips.

    [mention=349060]SarcasticJopanda[/mention] ... bread is my enemy and my dietian told me thats a big no no.
    That's one of my weaknesses too :( . I'm confident that pre and postop diets will help me curve that craving. A lot of stuff that is made of bread is being made with other stuff now. Like cauliflower Pizza Crust. I've never tried it but it's better to have a healthier alternative than nothing. I think we'll survive.

    Is anyone nervous or struggling with their breakup with food...? Knowing they'll never be able to eat their favourite foods? [emoji53]
    I'm struggling with the first day of liquid diet hahaha. My nutrionist told me that eventually I'd be able to have those foods again in moderation and in way smaller servings. That's a bit motivating. Right now I just need to get through these 2 damn weeks. Good luck!!!

    Just got my Surgery date for October 4th for bypass! I have been overweight my entire life and have had health issues from it for at least 15 years. I am super excited but it was like “ It just got real!” Good luck and good health to everyone!
    I'm having it done on the 3rd. I started the preop diet today. Good luck to you.
