@lisafrommassachusetts you are so right. And I will try to remember that. That’s good to hear about the pain and mobility since I really struggle with that. And I have decided that my children are one of my biggest motivating factors for this surgery. They eat and drink unhealthy stuff just like I do but I never want them to have to struggle like I do. I have a family history of this and if that cycle is going to be broken then I will need to do it. I don’t want my children to struggle with all of the issues that come with being morbidly obese ever! So I am making it my mission to teach them healthier ways. Anyways, I guess I needed to type that out to remind myself of one of my biggest reasons for going through this. Lol

I love that about the kids it will be a success because they are just instinct when it comes to having what we have lol. So my kids have eaten my popsicles my Jello and the little one tried my pudding today. But it makes me happy because I know these are sugar free treats that I will continue to share with them. Thanks for sharing and much success to you 😃

I’m 6 days out of my mgb and food has been playing mind games with me. I don’t really feel hungry, but making meals for my family (I have 4 kids and a hubby) and not being able to even taste it to check the seasoning, etc. is hard. My head is screaming at me for food, but my stomach says “no ma’am”. I don’t really feel hungry, but at the same time my body feels starved for nutrition, despite getting in enough fluids and all my Vitamins.< br />


On a positive note, I ate my first real “food” this morning - some heavily watered down Greek yogurt with a half scoop of unflavoured Protein Powder. It was about 1/2 cup and took an hour to eat, but I got it down alright. I have noticed, however, that I’m not getting that full stomach feeling until it’s over full. This is probably because it’s still swollen and healing.



How is everyone else doing?

Hey ResaRoo. I feel you about having to cook for the family and not being able to even taste. I’m on Clear Liquids til this week and think I’m ready for more!! But staying strong. I agree it’s like I know I’d like to eat but I’m not really hungry. How does the overfull feeling feel?

Hi everyone. I had the surgery yesterday it was about an hour and a half. And my surgeon did a liver biopsy while in there which I didn’t know he was going to do. The pain and discomfort was a bit rough they gave me pain med via iv that helped a lot and I was able to sleep for about an hour at a time. The IV made me pee a lot so I was up and down. Today I was just really tired. Had an X-ray in the am and the Fluid I had to drink was nasty! But luckily I didn’t throw up. When I feel a little queasy I walk around and try to make myself fall asleep. Overall I’m happy to be back home and start the rest of this journey. I also was prescribed Percocet which idk about since there isn’t any food in my system. Good luck to the rest of you. Seems like all the February ppl are having successful surgeries

So what is yall's Pre-op diet? I feel like mine is weird. They just said low cal, low carb, and high Protein for 10 days prior and nothing to eat or drink after midnight the day of. I just think it's weird cause almost everyone else has to do some sort of liquid diet prior to surgery.

Hey there. Mine surgeon said the same no liquid diet just low carb and high Protein. I just started today. My surgery is in 2 weeks.
