Ok, so I'm on day nine of my pre-op liquid diet and I'm starting to get some hunger pains when I smell other people's food. Is this just my head hunger? Or I'm I actually hungry? I have done so well up until now.

I doubt you are actually feeling hungry as long as you are getting your Protein from the diet. If you are anything like me, you are just tired of being on the diet and missing real food. The closer I get, the more I think about real food. Don't cave, you are too close! Good luck.

That's awesome that you are down 8 lbs., you are doing great! You can do this just try to stay busy. I'm going to do projects around the house all weekend and then I think I'm going to have a massage Monday to help me relax. You got this!

I tried to stay busy this weekend to keep my mind off how nervous I am. House clean, laundry done, yard done, groceries bought, etc. I still have to pack a bag for my son and I, but I figure I will need something to do tomorrow night to occupy my mind.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
