I need a whining moment here. I'm hungry. I want to chew food. And, I work in a school and our home ec teacher has made caramel brownies, oatmeal and Peanut Butter Cookies for everyone already today because she "loves the smell of baking" around Christmas. UGHHHHHHH! I ate a sugar free popsicle....wasn't really the same lol

Ok rant over

I'm going through it too sista! Nothing tastes as great as thin feels

gotta keep repeating that to myself! lol

Lol!! No!!! You LOVE your pre-op diet because it means there's a New you waiting just around the corner! Those brownies and cookies are gross and they stink because they are little devils in disguises just waiting to attack your hip, butt, ect whatever! You don't want no stinkin baked "goods!"! ; )-

I've been ranting about Pre-op too so don't feel bad I want to bite my arm LoL

I arrived at work yesterday to cookies close to my office (I think its time to send out a mass email please don't sit unhealthy foods near me LoL

That home ec teacher was a B for making those caramel brownies. How dare she. Now I'm hungry too.

Lol I'm in the same boat day 2 for me. Hang in there!

I hear you! I am the one that cooks Holiday meals for the family! I start my Pre-op on the 21st of Dec! X-mas dinner is gonna suck! LOL

I'm feeling your pain.

Yep. We may as well tape that stuff to our hips.

I had a 10 day, protein shake and water only diet. I was ready to beat on someone, and it's worse when you have to cook for your family. But now I'm 14 days post op, just moved to full liquid and it's not so bad. Getting a little tired of protein shakes, but I'm not hungry, no cravings, in fact I'm still trying to get all of my water requirements in. I think for about two days after the hospital I was head hungry. All those stupid food adds. But it will get better, just look ahead.

I'm on the pre op diet and AM a home economics teacher!!! Tomorrow I do demos of Mac and cheese and small cakes! The kids are going to love me when I let them eat it all...

well it's good to know that I'm not alone

Oh my gosh tell me about it! It really does suck! And I work as a manager/cook in an Italian joint. The smell of pizza as your brush garlic butter on the crust.. heavenly D: This is my 12th day of pre-op dieting (surgery is in 2 days!!! AHHHH!!!!) and it has gotten easier but I was tempted soooo bad when I opened the fridge to get milk for my Protein shake last night and there were meatloaf and brownies hanging out. Just calling my name. But I was a good girl and had my protein.

One of the only ways I've been able to stay on track is by thinking about how awful it would be to wake up and the surgery not be done because my liver was too big.

I'm so hungry right now. This sucks

I did my two weeks and surgery was supposed to be today! After day 5 my cravings went away for the most part! However Monday I received a call that they had to move my surgery to next Friday. Which means 2 more weeks of preop. Needless to say 3 protein shakes, 2 jellos, 2 salads and 2 c of chicken broth are my friend- for 4 whole weeks :-(! I am actually to the point that I am not eating the "filler" items. Sticking to the protein shakes and water! It's not nearly as bad as I thought. Christmas parties have been hard- and mostly avoided. Cheers to 9 more days of protein shakes!!
