I'm sure this will get easier after I have surgery Tuesday but not eating is psychologically weird.

You can do this! I remember that the first few days were the hardest. Best of luck to you!

I feel your pain (hunger). I had three weeks of a liquid diet and the whole 'you won't feel hungry thing' missed me completely. On puréed food now and I finally understand what that means. I'm 6 weeks out and doing well. Hang in...

It will get easier. This is one of the hardest parts! Just keep your eye on the prize! It will come!!! You can do this and be successful! Just try to take your mind off of it if you can by doing something else (easier said than done I know!) But you are capable and it will pay off!!!! Sending you good thoughts for a successful journey!

It was a breeze actually. Just had to drink that barium which has the same consistancy as chalk Water. What was really neat, if you get a chance you can see inside of your own body which is always interesting (at least to me).

Thanks everyone, I'm telling myself that this is all temporary and that food isnt going anywhere. Tomorrow I think I will probably sleep most of the day honestly.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
