I got sleeved on July 8th, and walked through the grocery store to pick up liquids. Although I do not feel hungry, the variety of scents made me have this weird feeling of missing it.

I think food addiction is a real thing. Find new things you can have that you do enjoy and try to appreciate them? I know it's rough, but it's a limited struggle to help us accomplish our long term weight battles.

This too shall pass....maybe feels like passing a kidney stone, but this too shall pass, lol.

The first couple of weeks were the absolute hardest for me. I was emotional too. Angry at myself and everyone and at times seriously regretting the surgery because I wanted to eat so badly. I do think food addiction is a real thing and it was then that I realized I had it! I am now a little over 5 weeks out and I feel great. I know it absolutely sucks but hang in there. If does get better!

Mention to him that eating fast foods, Snacks or foods you really crave, but can not have, in front of you right now is difficult while you are going through the post WLS diet phases.

Perhaps you mentioning those foods to him made him hungry for them and that is why he bought it? As far as eating in front of you, he was just eating his food and did not think of how that might affect you.

You know him, I do not.

In Friday I'll be a month post op. I know what u're feeling the first week was bittersweet. While I was in the hospital (2days) I was fine but when I went home something just clicked. My hubby is very supportive. He set up a table next to a recliner where he put all my mess and in the morning he'd put my Jello and broth but still just watching tv i noticed how 80% of the commercials are about food and that just pissed me off and caused me to make horrible choices not even 2wks post op. BUT not all days will be bad. They do eventually get better. Trust me. Hang in there. If u have any religious tendencies or practices or whatnot. Pray, sage, chant, crystal-curei it, (what ever that case may be) on it.

I am just about 2 weeks post op and have been very emotional about food too. For me, it's because I feel denied what I want--my addiction--food. It's so hard but it does get better. Little by little you start to mentally adjust. I don't know what's ahead--I'm sure I will cry about pizza sometime soon!! Take good care.

Hi sleeve twin! I also had my surgery Wednesday July 6. And I desperately want French fries. My husband is super supportive though and has been cooking and eating in the kitchen because he feels bad for my cravings. Fortunately I'm on full liquids now, and can have Fairlife milk and Protein drinks. Flavorful Soup broths like ramen without the noodles should count as clear liquid and I found they helped me through my Clear Liquids beforehand. Try to have something super flavorful, and I'd talk to your husband about being supportive. Ask him to eat at the restaurant if he wants fast food, or see if he'll do a juice cleanse or something while you're on liquids. I wish you the best!

Poor thing. Expect that your emotions are going to freak out on you. Mine did. It was nuts. I think your body just goes into shock over this huge change. I was not expecting it but it did level out and did not take a long time. My guidance is to cut yourself a whole lot of slack for the first month. It's a big adjustment but I promise you will feel better soon.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
