Just remember you're healing inside and out....there is a reason for the liquid and you're doing great! Let them eat pizza and whatever else it is. It doesn't mean you'll never be able to have it again....it will come in time but, for now you're doing what's best for you! :)

I know it's not always easy....and we can't expect the people around us to stop their normal routine...we can only go along with it knowing we made the right decision and we're getting healthier.

You can do it girl! We're here for you!

I'm 3days post op and I'm having trouble with this today. I feel hungry which i didn't expect! and i have to feed my 4 children. being stuck home all weekend since I'm not supposed to drive I've been trying to cook half way decent for my children and then leave the kitchen before i want it! Commercials on TV are getting to me too. Guess i can't wait for stage 4! Been researching fast food menus all day so know what if anything i can eat once I'm off this liquid diet... I'm very busy being a single mom they get fast good at least once a week. Still trying to break away from that too.

Maybe make your kiddos something you don't find appealing? Just a thought...Wishing you good luck, lots of will power, and tons of car commercials!!

I stocked the house with everything they like and i don't along with most of the foods i can eat on a liquid diet but after the first day home its all appealing to me! I'll be glad when they go to school on Monday and i only have to make one meal a day for them. Bad as that sounds i won't be so tempted!

Don't even think about feeling bad for that!! My surgery isn't until Friday, but I know how it is to count down til the kids go to school!

I completely empathize with you! I have posted a similar thread on here regarding not being able to eat. This is miserable but we have to tell ourselves it won't be this way forever. Im trying to stay super focused. I pray you are as well! We CAN do this!

You are really dealing with a lot right now, it is hard to take the time for yourself to heal and concentrate on yourself with four children to fix meals for. I hope it gets easier. Sending you positive thoughts and gentle hugs.

      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!

      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!!
