Just hang in there - do you have a ppi (acid reducer) you take? It can mimic the feeling of hunger if not. One day at a time - definitely don't let your head win. Leaks are horrible.

Ladies, do you not understand that what you are doing is dangerous? You can land yourself in the hospital with major complications.

This isn't just a physical journey. The mental part is the real struggle. If you can't get control of relationship with food when it is dangerous to eat what are you going to do when you are able to eat regular food?

Why did you get the surgery? Do you want to succeed? Do you want to be slim and healthy?

Don't make excuses. Do something else. Call a friend. Go for a walk. Hit a punching bag. But

DO.NOT.EAT unless you have been cleared to do so by you doctor.

@itzbrittanyx3, I am by far the wrong one to give advice but I will tell you what I am feeling. I am 5 days out. Drink ALL my Water eat 2-3 popscicles a day a tiny bit of yogurt to take my meds. I AM HUNGRY your not the only one. I have been shamed on here from @@Babbs for asking what ppl are slowly introducing as the days go on. I sent him a copy of my discharge instructions because I know he didn't believe me. All it did was break down the different stages but gave NO TIMEFRAMES. So I feel at this point it's worth getting other sleevers inputs//--- besides @@Babbs. Read through and you can get some good ideas

I have been reading other comments you have made on other people's post. I just wanted you to know that when you get yours and you need someone to just agree and understand where your coming from. I hope that you dont get someone like your self that will kick you when your already down.

All my years of fighting for this and preparing my self for this and it still is messing with me.

Good luck on your journey.

You see what you want to see honey. I don't kick people when they are down, but I also will not lie to you and say what you want to hear when you are doing things that are harmful.

When I am fortunate enough to to be post-op I will follow all the rules because I've been reading and researching this process for months and I know the rules are there to keep me safe.

I do no lie to myself and I don't make excuses. I do occasionally make mistakes. I do not say "I can't" I say I will try.

I'm sorry you think I'm mean. You aren't the first and you won't be the last.

If you are really interested in what I post then stick around because you might find out I'm a huge cheerleader and believer in the power of positive thinking.

Your success is up to you. No surgery or other person can define your success. It is all on you. You are in control.

May you have a wonderful journey of self discovery and weight loss.

I'm basically in tears because I want to eat.. this is so pathetic... I still have a whole week left of my liquid diet [emoji19]Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Get busy cleaning a closet, rearrange drawers, and paint a room if you can. It kept me sane and occupied!

It wasn't allot and it was basically puréed... I did consult my physician... and everyone's body is different .... this is a rough journey and if you have someone you know that has had this done ask for there advice.... everyone's situation is different some are allowed food 5 days after surgery... some not until 4 weeks after....

      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.

        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.

      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!!
