OK I started my pre op in Friday and I was feeling pretty good about it... until today. I'm all liquids and today I am missing food. Like real food. It's almost making me sad.

Anyone else feel like this?

Hang in there. How long are you doing it for?

Yes! I have dealt with this issue every day since my surgery. Many days are filled with crying at the loss. Having said that, it is getting better day by day. For me it is the reality of dealing with food addiction.

I'm doing it til Monday. I never expected to feel such a loss. And it definitely is an addiction.

You're or the only one! I thought about food all the time and every commercial on tv I wanted it (pizza, Taco Bell, mc Donald's, Chinese food) everything. It does get better, and when you start to see the weight come off your thought process changes to I don't want that. Hang in there.

I can only imagine. I've been doing my low carb for two weeks. My surgery isn't for another 41 days but my doctor doesn't require any type of liquid diet, before or after. But from what I read, it's still hard to go through once we're sleeved. We only need a few bites to nourish our bodies, but five times that to nourish our souls. I guess that's why it's called soul food .

Time to find something else that doesn't revolve around food, becoming a raging alcoholic, or turning to street drugs to fill that void .

Thank you everyone. I have happy tears from all of you.

We all go through this. Most of us have a serious food addiction that's how we got here. Your not alone. You got this. Stay strong and drink tons of water.

I started my liquid diet on Sunday and I broke that same day. I have the option of cucumbers and those are the highlight of my day. I am not missing food now but when someone is eating, I remove myself from them. If a commercial comes on, I just look at my phone and drink water. Have you tried sugar free popsicles? I have some and they aren't that bad.

WOW! Good for you! That's a great loss so far.

If anyone out there needs help or support please feel free to get in touch with me. I had mine on 1/23/17 and so far this is by far the best decision I've ever made. Every thing you read isn't that bad, believe me it's very easy.
