I survived the 1st week! Have my 1 week follow up tomorrow.
I have to say that today was the worst day by far. My head hunger was out of control and it had me regretting the surgery.
Started with an email from pizza hut... it looked so good. Then a commercial for subway. Then my sister rubbing in going to Texas Roadhouse for a steak. My friend snapping me a pic of her Wendy's burger and fries about killed me. And finally with my husband bringing home lasagna and cake from his Dad's bday party.
I did lick a peep today... I was weak. But you know what? Peeps give no flavor unless you bite it so it was a wasted lick. And a reminder at just how much of a b***h my own mind can be and that I need to fight twice as hard to knock her off her throne. I wanted to lick a piece of lasagna... but i didnt.
Now that it's bed time I feel better. Not as sad and grumpy.
And I didn't need any Zofran today so that's a win.

On another note, I am struggling with my Fluid intake. I have only met goal 1 day since surgery so I have to work on that big time.

Also Pinterest has a ton of great recipes for the soft phase and further out too.

Best of luck to all the other May 1st sleevers and hope everyone is doing well!

The mind game is 100% real! In the hospital I couldn't stop dreaming about food. I totally get it. My wife made a pizza for her and my daughter last week & I thought it cruel lol. I'm no longer a big pizza fan, but knowing I can't have it makes all the difference.

I too am struggling with fluid intake. I've made it to 60 oz the last days, after staying up late. The crazy part is I am on top of it the entire day. Sigh.

Yay for us making it to 1 wk post op! I'm thrilled with my 10.2 lb lose & keeping my eye on the prize!

      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.

      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!!
