Oh man I totally know how you feel. Pre op was the hardest. I felt like all I was thinking about all day was food. But seriously after surgery it changes, it becomes much easier. Of course smelling things will make you want them but it's soo much easier to resist.

When did you have your surgery? I honestly can't wait till all this is over and done with

I am very very post op still. Just had it done 9/2...went in on Wednesday and came home Friday. When I got home...I slept SO MUCH...didn't even think about food. It was difficult. Lots of pressure I'm my chest n tummy. :( But every day that went by got better n better. I know exactly what u mean by moody!!! Our emotions are all jacked up. Even after, you'll be even crabbier!! Just try to keep ur eye on the prize ;) and we'll make it through!!

I just honestly feel like this is some sort of torture. Can't stand the chiken broth the smell is anoyying me. Getting tired of Jello and popsicles

I know what you mean!! I didn't do chicken broth pre op...because I knew I'd HAVE to do it post op and didn't want to be burnt out on it. Right now, I love it. :) and Instead pre op...I did shakes after shakes after shakes. Peanut Butter banana smoothies with Protein are SO FILLING and they are what got me through...occasionally, i had a cucumber with chili y limon...but i shouldnt have. alot of it is mental too. keep ur mind busy. watch Netflix. not TV because TV has so many BOMB food commercials...ugh.

I am very post op as well. My surgery was 9/1 but experienced the same things. Pressure and no desire to eat. At least not like I wanted to before , I will say the commercials did hurt post op ????. But I did notice everyone's pre op diet is different. I had to do liquids all day like shakes and was allowed one meal a day what could be a 4oz. Piece of meat and 2 cups of veggies. Was not as bad, I don't think I would be able to have done it. But my doctor also prescribed me an appetite supressant that worked miracles. It helped me get through the day.

Yes. I did. Not just once either. My bday was Aug 29. I went to olive garden. HORRIBLE. I know. But I'm VERY thankful all came out ok and that I haven't done or ate anything I shouldn't as of now. I know the guilt you speak of too. Lol....lots of things in common.

Hopefully you're feeling good now!! I know I am. Except for some Days, I have zero energy. -_- and you're totally right, everyone's pre op is so different!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
