For all the people who have started their pre op . Did you just want to eat !! Last night my family was eating tacos and I just wanted to eat , I wasn't hungry at all but wanted to eat. My boyfriend doesn't understand it and I don't know how to explain it . Day 2 pre op diet I'm ready !!

You sound determined to succeed! I'm still doing all of my preop testing so I haven't done the diet yet...but my surgeon requires it. I'm not looking forward to it, although my body really needs the detox. I know all about head hunger. Right now I'm eating everything I can shove into my mouth b/c I think I'll never be able to eat it again. I wish this surgery fixed your head as well as your stomach, but it doesn't. It is up to us to deal with our head hunger and it is SO hard. Last night my husband and I discussed whether therapy would be a good choice for me to deal with these compulsions. I haven't decided yet, but I'm certainly considering it.

Stay strong and keep your eyes on the prize...a healthier, happier you that won't have to shop in the "fat girl" stores anymore! You can do it!

Thank you so much ... I am very determined to win!! Honestly day 1 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I sat down early in the morning and made a very busy schedule for getting my fluids and drinking my shakes so it wasn't that bad .. also I did the same thing right before I started I ate some of everything even at 1115 the night before I got hungry and ran out to the waffle house and finished at 1158 right before 12 .. I had food funerals all last week. So I totally understand .. but good luck on your journey and hopefully it won't take you long at all for approval and the surgery

Find bulk without calories! It aids the transition. My doc let me eat raw veggies till i was blue in the face. i found some zero cal dressing that was just ok. But by the time youre sick of raw veggies filling you up, you'll be down ten pounds and surgery will be so close you wont want to eat anymore anyway!

That's true but I only can eat one meal a day and its dinner but that's only for week one , once I hit week two I'm strictly 5 shakes per day and 64oz of Fluid

That was totally me on Day 3, 5, and 7. You sound like you have a great attitude about it.

I'm lucky in that my hubby works most nights, so I didn't have to deal with people eating around me...but even being in the kitchen was hard. I pretty much quarantined myself to one room of the house and stayed there.

You stay strong and tell that boyfriend that he doesn't have to understand it, but he does need to be supportive if he wants to keep his hot girlfriend around. :-)

Lol he definitely is supportive , just not babying me like I want him to. But yes I definitely have a good attitude and my mom definitely isn't about to let me cheat AT ALL , and I wouldn't want them to cancel my surgery so I'm being a good girl .. even though I know the harder days are yet to come

Day 1 of my pre-op diet was the hardest (I just completed day 8!). I felt like it was the end of the world -I was miserable. But believe me, it will pass.... and YOU CAN DO IT!
