Im 6 days post op and depressed...im hungry all the time and i keep thinking about food i almost dream about it! Im soooo tired of the clear liquid diet and im ready to add some more things to drink on my list but if i follow my dr recommendations it should only be in 3 days....how far along did u start ur full liquid diet?

I also have a continuous headache since the surgery altho i drink all my fluids....anyone had the same?

It's really tough at first...no picnic! Just concentrate on getting through the day in front of you and doing your very best to stay on your eating plan and hydrate. For me, the eating/drinking plan helped me to create good habits that I still follow. I'm almost 4 months out now, and eating is just now getting comfortable for me, although I still eat approximately the same amount at each meal. I am SO incredibly happy with my weight loss and so glad I took this step. There were some times when I thought, 'this sucks!' That is pretty normal. It DOES get better!

It's certainly the hardest surgery I've had and there's been a few. I'm week 5 today and after a good run I felt miserable and depressed. It's not for the faint hearted and when I'm alone I feel very vulnerable. I just hope the weeks get better, the pain goes and I get some energy. 17kg down at the 4 week mark but reflux drives me crazy.

I progressed to soft foods and have been eating tuna,salmon,yogurt,cottage cheese and my favorite now,Humus!! I havent had any issues with anything I have eaten yet, knock on wood. I even tried 2 shrimp the other day with my salmon. It is amazing how small of portions you can eat and how fast you feel full like you ate a huge meal. The soft foods phase has made me feel 100% normal again thankful.
