Day 13 Pre-Op And Having A Bad One Today.



Recommended Posts

Woke up today and all I keep thinking about is a pizza or steak. Come on already, I have been very strict and disciplined so far. Now I am trying to rationalize to cheat, what bull hockey pucks! Today is going to suck but have not quit yet. Just had to rant, sorry.

You are totally normal!! At this stage you are sick to death of sweet shakes and want something savory. Hang in there. I am 7 weeks out and the obsession with food gets easier as you are able to eat more things.

I echo what franfaith said. All I could think about was food when I was still on liquids. Once you start eating softs and solids, it will go away. Are you to pureed stage yet? I found just getting new tastes into my mouth helped a lot. If you are not, then try a new Soup, something savory like vegatable soup, cream of Tomato or clam chowder (strained). Hang in there...it will pass. Just DON'T give in and eat pizza or steak yet! It's too early, but I am sure you know this! :)

You can get through it! Last night I had a dream about being at the store picking out the most awesome ice cream sandwich ever and woke up craving one. Just trying to keep it off my mind. I know if I ate it I'd feel bad, and it's just not worth it!

When I was craving pizza I made myself some shredded chicken with a little pizza sauce and some fat free mozzarella. High Protein, low carb, and helped a little.

Don't feel bad, I'm not even a week out and all I can think about is pizza or olive gardens unlimited Pasta bowl.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
