It's been one week since my surgery and counting Pre op diet I have lost 22 pounds! I know for a fact I was/am addicted to food. The only thing I can think about is eating! I want real food so bad. However I am on liquids for 3 more weeks I don't know how I will make it lol. I am hoping it gets easier!

Awesome! My post op diet was two weeks liquids, two weeks mushies, then all solids. I was so happy to see food. It's tough, not going to lie. I remember at week two, my hubbie brought home a B-B-Q chicken wing and i actually licked it to death.. LOL, that was pretty low for me!

I get it. Today is my one week surgiversary as well. I'll admit I've thought about the chew & spit option. So far I have resisted :-) After the pre-op diet, I've found even cream of wheat tastes fabulous. I'm definitely craving something solid though.

Yes it is easier now that I am 17 days out. My surgeon doesn't let me do cream of wheat or yogurt or Soups or anything. Full liquids to him is Protein shakes and Water and broth...it would be easier if I could have Soups

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
