Girl stay strong! I started mine the day I started the 2 week liquid diet and I am a ibuprofen junkie. So not only could I not feed the beast but I could not numb myself either. haha! It was tough!

I just dealt with my first "time" post-op and I wanted to eat everything. It was so tough but I made it. I wonder when if ever the cravings stop? Cause the PMS girl in me wants a snickers and I don't think that will ever be on the plan! haha

Stay strong and good luck!

Russel stover makes a sugar free pecan delight that is really yummy!! It is sweetened with Maltitol though so it messes with my stomach and that is a good thing because then I am only going to eat one. It helps with those cravings though.... Hugs!!!

Cravings get easier. I am always surprised at how little I crave chocolate or potato chips. On the other hand, if I have a craving I tend to indulge them in a small way and I have found that reassuring. Having my old favorites in a new way and amount calms my anxiety at the prospect of being forever deprived. When on diets where foods were forbidden for one reason or another I'd get on the carousel of wanting one thing but deciding to be good, which made me feels deprived so I'd reward myself with several other things that were, in the end, worse than a small amount of the original food. So I just give in in very small ways.

Right before surgery I had the Mirena IUD put in so I don't have a period or pms anymore so I never had to deal with it after having surgery. But if you are craving salt, eat some mashed potatoes. I used to love mashed potatoes when I was on mushy foods. That and apple sauce were my weakness.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
