When does it get easier?

[hohmanf 4]

I feel very blessed that everything has gone well post op. Im two weeks out and in the middle of my full liquids phase. the only problem is I very much miss all my favorite foods. there are certain meals i really crave. does this get better?

I'm in the same boat, had my surgery a week ago. I find myself wanting certain foods also, but know I can't have them! I don't want to tell my family they have to eat somewhere else, lol! I usually just smell what they're about to have and then have my shake or Soup and I'm okay with it. I just look forward to the day when I get to taste different foods, that helps. My husband cooked a vegetable soup the other day and I took some of it and put it in the blender until it was liquified. I have that for lunch and so far so good. No problems! Wish you all the best on your journey. Hang in there, it can only get better

I promise, it will get better. Hang in there. It'll all be worth it one day. I was full liquids for 4 weeks and dreamed about my first "real" meal. I made refried Beans, a pinch of cheese, and taco sauce. It was like steak and lobster. I didn't realize how much I missed chewing.

Good luck! Ull make it. We all do...

I'm 21 days out. I don't think it will ever get better, but your willpower should get better! I see/smell all the foods my husband eats, things I love, too, but then I just have to remind myself why I went through the surgery in the first place. The first 6 months to a year are the most critical in losing the most weight while learning new habits and better food choices.

All I wanted was pizza for at least the first 6 weeks. But it does get easier. It did for me. I'm four months out now, and don't have cravings nearly as badly as I did back then.

Be well…
