I'm so hungry and pissed. I literally think I'm going through the grieving process over my relationship with food.

My sleeve is 3/31.

Blah.

Yes. Most of us know. Just a memory now. It is worth it. Look at the positive side and keep busy and focused on projects, not food!

Pickles, and sugar-free chewing gum are what helps me through the tough moments. I have surgery on the 31st also, and am about 10 lbs from the goal my Dr. set for surgery day. Just try to stay busy.

Yup. It sucks. One of the hardest things ive done in a while. The two weeks following surgery suck too. But it's one month of suckage for a lifetime of joy. Pretty great trade off. You're almost there... you've got this!

Suckiest thing ever!! I'm on day 6. Yesterday & today have definitely been better. Either the hunger is dissipating or I'm better at ignoring it ???? we've gotta keep our eye on the prize!!

Yes it sucks royally!!! They already put me on the preop diet and my surgery hasn't been approved yet. I'm only allowed to have two protein shakes and a healthy meal a day. If I get hungry it's another protein shake. I understand that they need my liver to shrink, but now I want to eat everything. However I am doing pretty good aside from being cranky. I started my diet on the 10th and tonight was the first time I cheated. It was either eat out or starve. Tomorrow is a new day and I will start a new. I guess I will be on this diet until surgery, I don't see the doctor again until April 7th. I know its hard road ahead, but I know I can do it. Good luck to everyone conquering their preop diets.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. A slimmer/healthier one I might add. GL with ur wls journey. Stay positive, u can do it!

It does suck, but at least for me that was the worst part. Stay focused -- better times are right around the corner.
