I was sleeved on 7/17 and have been doing well with my liquid diets. Tuesday I will be able to have purée foods but all day I have been contemplating putting the salmon I cooked for my family in a blender....the craving hit me again so I just went to the freezer and grabbed a Popsicle to take my mind off of this...I am gonna get through this.

I was sleeved 7/15 and just blended cream of broccoli Soup. And I had a bite of avocado. Oh boy, was it good. I literally ate 3 tablespoons and felt like I could fall asleep. How are y'all doing otherwise?

How did you make out with the mashed potatoes. I did try a few bites but got scared so I went and grabbed some yogurt....

I'm doing great!!!! Other than feeling hungry. Lol. Full of energy. The only thing different is that I stay cold all the time when before I was always hot!

I'm supposed to be on full liquids for 2 full weeks & I was sleeved on 7/16. I've been starving! Today I broke down & made a portion of Idahoan 4 cheese mashed potatoes (they come in little cups, just add Water & nuke.) OMG, I thought I was eating some gourmet food! It went down well (I did eat slow) & for the first time in a week, I won't be going to bed hungry!

I have an appt on Wed with my surgeon & I'm going to tell him I want a refund! I thought he was supposed to cut out that part of your tummy that brings on hunger. He must have missed mine because I could eat a subway sandwich most times!

I"m only a month out, but I remember 3 weeks of unbelievable hunger. It was ridiculous! I wasn't prepared for that kind of hunger either. The full liquid diet seemed like a reprieve after the Clear Liquids for a week, but I just stayed in a pissed off mood and couldn't stand my Protein Shakes. I even went so far as to chew on some food and spit it out. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I was hungry and it was better than nothing. I don't know when I will ever want another creamy Soup again either. Being on soft Protein, I still crave salads and crunchy vegetables. Prior to surgery, I juiced vegetables almost daily and ate a lot of salads.

Just know that it's normal to feel ravenously hungry. Try not to eat your children and keep your wickedness to yourself. I sent my own self to my room to spare my family.

Coming out on the other side of it is a glorious thing! You can do it!

I was hungry too! I'm 18 days out. Someone told me to take 2 Prilosec OTC because that hunger pain is gas and it absolutely helped.

The thing that is amazing is how good food tastes when you finally get to have it! You are so grateful!! Two bites of mashed potatoes is like heaven. I love that part of this plan - that you don't have to think "oh I will never get to eat that again". You WILL get to eat pretty much everything, just smaller portions!

Sending hubby to drug store now for Prilosec.....sick of this "hungry" feeling too. And I am one of the lucky ones who is able to introduce new foods as tolerated!

Hi i believe it's head hunger. Try eating a Popsicle, drinking more fluids. Try walking .. Even at 11 months post op I get head hunger and once I start drinking my fluids it does get better.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
