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 :)

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 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.

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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
