So one week out. Going back to work tonight. Have to do a couple weeks of GRAVEYARD yuck!! I feel fine. I have hypothyroidism. I am hungry all the time though. I have to admit I cheated a little and had some cottage cheese and mashed potatoes. I'm supposed to wait another week but the liquids aren't cutting it. No pain really. A slight bubbly feeling sometimes that feels like I have a leak or something but proBably just internal rumblings cause I'm not sick no fever etc. I'm a police dispatcher so no physical hard work. I'm more in pain about working graveyard then over my surgery. Well thanks everyone for being so candid on here. It helps me allot to see I'm where I need to be and what's ahead. I had lost 100lbs naturally 6 years ago. Kept if off for 5 years had $30,000 worth of tummy tucks boob job face lift then gained it all back from emotional eating. I don't want to fight this fight anymore. I hope this is the end if my battle and that the weight gain didn't completely ruin all this plastic surgery I already did.

Hi Im also a dec 20 sleever.. I dont go back to work til Jan 7th. dr orders.. I felt hungry at first on that post op diet too.. but you know that went away about the 5th day.. I did not cheat.. I have advanced on to the next phase for which they have listed what I can eat.. now I eat and get so full.. had to learn what the full was.. that stuck in your throat gurgling feeling in my stomach..and no drinking 30 min before or after eating a semi solid food.. eggs or mashed potatoes or boiled ones... havent tried jello or pudding yet.. plus I cannot drink much of the creamy soups yet either.. but I do love the sugar free popsicles.. those are yummy. if you stick with the program you should be ok.. ive lost 20lbs so far.. so im very happy about that.. waiting for things to come for me.. having a hard time imagining eating reg foods again.. im like wow one bit and im full.. and then to have to eat a whole cup at meal time.. lol for the first time im like.. I cant do that.. so I should be ok.. trying to get all my protein in is hard in the beginning until you can eat other foods.. I get about 40-50. doc said for me that was ok for now and keep trying.. so I will.. let me know how you are doing.

So your eating eggs already? My diet is liquids and pudding/ yogurt for 3 weeks then I can have eggs, mashed potatoes etc.
