I am 10 says post-op. I am SICK of liquids. I am so burned out on soup, pudding, shakes that I feel like puking every time I have to drink one down. My daughter is eating a sloppy Joe in front of me, and I swear I could tackle her down and steal it. I can start mushy foods in 4 days. I never thought I would be so excited for tuna fish or egg salad. I crave it now, and cant wait!Please tell me I am not alone! After pre-op diet and now this liquid diet, I really want food, that I can chew 40 times, not slurp. I know I need to wait, but honestly, it is just 4 more days? What could be the harm...I don't think I will make it the weekend. Head hunger, acid, whatever it is, I really am hungry and want food!

LOL, I was so there not long ago. I seriously had to go for a walk. I walked away from the situation. 4 days does a lot of healing in that time. Just remember how you felt on day 1 and then day 4 after surgery. Just be strong, you will make it. You will be eating real food soon enough!!

Days 5-10 were HARD! I swear I thought I was going to starve to death. lol

Then it started getting easier. I called my doc and asked about puréed foods a couple of days early and it was okayed. Call and ask!

Hang in there! You are almost there! It totally sucks but you don't want to risk anything happening to your sleeve (I think it's more like a pocket, sleeve sounds too big). We are pulling for you! You can do it!

Hang in there, the next phase will be here before you know it!

Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I discovered diet lemonade at chick fil a, and it has helped take the edge off some. I want to have the willpower to hold out, but I really am sick of soup and even more sick of protein powder. I just ordered unflavored unjury so when I am on the next phase, I can lace my food in protein and never drink a shake again! Thinking I will order the cheese sauce protein too!

This will get easier...be sure you stick to your plan..I don't want you hurting your new pouch!

You are so not alone! Today makes a week since my surgery and I want REAL food soooo bad! It's hard fixing supper for my family and not even being able to sample it. Between the pre op diet and this week on Clear Liquids I am wondering if I am going to survive another week!

The smell of food still makes me sick... I have the nose of a pregnant woman and get sick to food smells real quick!
