5 days post op and I have to say it was so hard to be around so much food and not being able to eat any. I wanted some food so bad but I put my big girl panties on and sucked it up.

Same here! I'm 4 days post op and this weekend has been torture. A lot of people say they don't feel hungry after the surgery so I wasn't anticipating it being this tough but I'm starving! Hoping next week will be a little easier.

I'm also 4 days post op and watching everyone around me just chowing down while I sip my broth. But hey, that's ok, it's my cross to bear so I'm toughing it out. I just keep telling myself that with each tummy pain that it's just more fat my body is getting rid of!

But it will be worth it at the end!

I have been ok for the most part. I'm 3 days post op. I have these off and on belly pains gas? Rumblings. that make it hard to want food. However being around all the food the ribs, the brown sugar baked beans, the hot dogs the ice cold apple cider gives me a tiny pinch of sadness. But i know this time next year I will be quite fabulous so it's worth it.

Excuse me ice cold hard apple cider. Hang in there guys!

We got this. Atleast now I know I wasnt the only one feeling a bit down on the 4th. Next 4th we will be able to enjoy it looking fabulous.
