I hear ya kimmason! I am on day 4 and I am so hungry! I wish someone would answer this mind-blowing question....How can you feel full off liquids and still have hunger pangs? I am basically trying to sleep away my time before my surgery on friday! I am so proud of myself at this point though. Day 1 was the worst. It has occurred to me that I miss chewing. I wake up in the morning with sore jaws from grinding in my sleep. I know this is all mental, but talk about a reality check. I must admit it has not gotten worse, but I was just wondering if anyone had experienced it.....Feedback?

Kim-

I am on 7 days of liquid pre-op. My menu choices include tea, coffee, gatorade, broths, Jello, skim milk, crystal light, Protein shakes (limit 2/dy), and Water. That is just my LBS's preference. I have already lost 5lbs since last thursday, which is more than the 3lbs over the last 6 wks from the weight loss challenge we have going on my job! Crazy! I have had high blood pressure for the last 6 yrs and with my weight steadily rising it was time to do something about it. Can't wait to get to cream soups!

By the way, I am an x-ray tech...therefore the homer avatar!

During my pre-op, I was on two weeks of "Optifast" shakes and I couldn't bring myself to swallow it without "chewing" every mouthful. :paranoid Strange, I know...but boooy did I ever miss chewing!

I was bitching and moaning about the headaches...I wonder if I might have been grinding at night too. lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
