So I'm actually doing so much better than I thought I would. I thought I would be trying to bite small children by now but its been ok. Now don't get me wrong I'm hungery, but its ok because I am ready to have this surgery and I know its the right thing. But..... I miss food. I just really enjoy food and cooking. Cooking and eating a great dinner with my husband makes me happy. I didn't think I would feel sad and down. I was worried more about just being hungry and wanting food. I hope this is something that will pass and I won't always feel like I'm missing out??

Well, the good news is you will be able to eat again. Just not as much. If you go into it with a quality over quantity mindset, you don't really miss it a whole lot.

Hang in there! The light at the end of the tunnel will be here before you know it!!!!!! It will help too when you can have "full liquids" like creamy soups and such. You are doing great thus far- keep it up. This will soon be a distant memory!

Thanks to both of you!!! I appreciate the support!

Are you on full liquids or just clear? I'm on full liquids till Wednesday yesterday was day one & I doctors up some canned lentil Soup.... I sautéed a garlic clove, some tomato, green bell pepper and a pinch of chili flakes in a tbs of evoo and then added the soup, put it n the blender strained it and vouala had dinner with my kids my daughter asked to tAste it and she liked it too, she even asked me to make her some just next time I won't be making it so spicy.. Really hope this helps hang in there

I'm on full liquids but I was told only tomato soup and strained cream soups nothing my body has to breakdown. That soup sounds delicious! Thanks!

Great way of looking at it!
