The pre diet is the hardest. I bought the same things for post and pre. Is it your all liquid pre diet? My surgeon had me on a two phase pre diet. I've noticed not all do.

The best advice I got was buy small portions of Protein because your taste will more than likely change.

Thanks Mindy. Lol I'm already wanting that big fat plate of nachos. Nacho cheese. Sour cream. Guacamole.... Mmmmm so good. But...at same time I know that's in the past. Will I ever be able to eat stuff like that again?

Years down the road and in small portions.

Just remember food addiction is a real very hard thing to overcome, but with the tool you are about to receive you can do it!!!

Several months after my surgery I couldn't figure out why I still wanted food when I wasn't hungry and if I ate it I got so sick. So I was looking up YouTube videos of other WLS perps and I watched one that put it all into perspective. She said a food addiction is the worst of all addictions if you think about it. A drug addict simply avoids the people and places their drug of choice is. Same for an alcoholic. A food addict has to eat to live. It was an ahh haa moment as well as a duh moment for me. Once I had the mindset I was eating 3 tiny meals a day my Protein and Water just to live and for no other reason I was the most successful.

When you start thinking about food find a good distraction like walking for 5 minutes and drinking a bottle of Water.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
