My surgery is this Wens. and I've been on a liquid diet for a week now. I know I have to do this but I'm starting to have doubts. I really really miss eating! It's probably just nerves but I hate second guessing myself. :(

You will be fine. After surgery, and once you are back on regular food, you will be happily eating; but if like me, you will have to remind yourself to eat because you won't be hungry all the time any more.

There are absolutely times when I miss eating, especially at first. When I couldn't eat more than 4 (veggie) chicken nuggets, or just a couple bites of anything. Boy do I miss those days :P

It gets easier. Now I see people eating half a pizza or something and get a little nauseas just thinking "I used to eat like that?!"

And a liquid diet will make anyone miss food!

You'll be fine :)

Not being hungry might make it easier. Right now I AM hungry and it's so hard when hubby warms his dinner. The smell of food makes me want it but I want to be thin even more so I have not cheated once!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! :)

The 3rd-4th week I was pretty unhappy....I wanted food......but the fifth week I was eating food......and a happy camper....but it is hard at the early stages, because it's just difficult to eat much as your stomach is still swollen and recovering..not being hungry is a nice change.....

My fiancé volunteered to go on the liquid diet with me. I was sooooo grateful for that :)

That's so sweet...nice to have a supportive partner.....before the liquid diet, I froze some meals and told hubby he's on his own while I was on liquids

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
