It was constant for me during the liquid phase, but became much better once I could add back solids.

Last night in my dream I was eating all kinds of horrible stuff and I was still only nine days out. It was a huge relief when I woke up!

I would go to ShutterStock and watch their commercial clips of people eating food. For some reason watching someone eat and chew helped me out in the first weeks.

OMG, yes, I also had a dream about food when I was home recovering on liquid diet watching TV, which I never noticed how MANY food commercials there are! Seriously!

I stopped watching live TV and went with a movie or read or walked, out of sight out of mind. Hang in there, once you're on soft foods it's amazing how good stuff tastes and satisfies you, Sugar Free Chocolate pudding was a go to for cravings.

I once dreamed about eating a whole pizza. I could only fit 2, max 3 slices of pizza BEFORE surgery! I was freaked out in the dream because I was aware I'd had surgery but I just kept eating! It was weird. But that was a while ago, and thankfully doesn't happen in real life :P

During pre op liquid phase I had dreams about hot dogs and bacon. At a weigh in the nurse suggested my body may be wanting some salt.
I'm 15 days post op and the first thing I wanted when in was cleared was Applesauce but I went for the mashed up tuna (protein first!)

Stick with what your doctor says. Try adding flavors to your shakes or some new Soups. Do something to change up because I found it easy to get into a rut on liquids.< br>

I've been obsessed thinking about all the foods I can eat once I con co puréed. I am tired of liquid everything. Have you tried gum? That was my plan but since I'm constantly drinking I haven't wanted gum

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
