I have my date and so excited and scared! My biggest fear is that I will fail!! I know that seems so silly, but when you have tried everything...you start to doubt that you really can be healthier and thinner! I am committed to following dr.s orders per and post op, but again just so scared of failing? Is anyone else sruggling with this?

I am 5'2" and currently weigh 264 (BMi 48). I look forward to the day I can post per and post op photos!

I had surgery in July 18 and finally came home yesterday on Sunday. I'm in a little pain but its ok. I hope everyone else is doing ok.

Thanks for the replies! I am so excited and getting my house in order. I have been on the pre diet and have only lost a few pound' date=' but very happy with that!

I would love six weeks off!! I wish I could be so lucky!

Thank you! No I didn't have any complications and the pain is getting better. How are u doing?

So are any of you guys having issues with head hunger. I'm really missing food this liquid diet is rough. I never thought I would look forward to purée. Surgery was July 17 I have list 10 lds since surg

Yes, so head hungry but hungry hungry as well! It doesn't make sense but guess it's normal ???

How are you doing??

How are you ShayLeigh?

Thank you! No I didn't have any complications and the pain is getting better. How are u doing?

So happy to hear! I am doing really well! I get to add soft foods starting tomorrow...whoop! Whoop!

I have lost 11 pounds since surgery, which I am thrilled about. Wish I could get over jumping on scale all the damn time!!

How are you ShayLeigh?

So good!! How are you?? I too am dealing with head hunger....ugh! I hate it and have to keep reminding myself why I chose this new tool.

How much are you down?? Are you feeling good?

Down 11 pounds! that's great, I'm UP 2 pounds and feeling so bloated that I may give birth soon.

Head hunger is there, but not overwhelming (TV is deadly - so many food ads.)

There is no WAY I am getting enough Protein or liquid at this point (60-70g/64oz), more like 10-15g/30oz. Also, I thought I was on Clear liquids for 10 days, but just read in the aftercare instructions that if one had a hernia (which I did) clear liquids for 15 days!!!! UGH. Pain is way better, but the drain wound still scares me.

Thank you! I am blessed with fast recovery, but one key to my success is definitely walking! The food ads are awful...I never noticed how many there were!

Not good today. I have a really bad stomach ache/cramp. I also have really bad gas (sorry if tmi). I've been super hungry but not today.

I am only down 1 lb in the week since surgery : (

don't fret, many in the same boat. I am sending out my empathy waves. I am only down 2 lb. I woke up in an incredibly irritable mood. I will try to curb myself for my daughters sake (she's not up yet). It's so day by day. I have a lot of gas/bloat too. I am sooo sick of this clear liquid diet and I have a whole week more. 15 days on CLEAR liquids - are you KIDDING me?

I am so sorry! Hang in there...I know it is going to get better. Everyone's body adjust differently, just ensure you are getting your Water in. Hang in there girl!
