All of a sudden I want to eat so badly. I'm still on pureed diet phase, so I will not push it, but this urge is overwhelming. Words of encouragement appreciated.

I'm only one week post op and feeling the same! I don't have genuine hunger but the desire to eat is so overwhelming. I still have to be a wife and mom and cooking/being around the smell of food is brutal.

It's all a mental game. I just try to focus on the fact that the benefits of this "new" life will far exceed the deliciousness of food.

How much longer until you are on regular food?

Stay strong! Anyone who says surgery is the easy way out has NO idea how crazy this ride is!

I have a couple more weeks until regular food. 1 more until soft food. I hope I'm just having a day. Good luck to you.

My will power is so low I have that urge also and gave in with tremendous regret cause it made me felt some pain

Keep going all of you. Honestly it will get easier. Food is just something we need to survive . Once you get to the point you can eat food the flavour doesn't seem so amazing after all. You can do it.

I’m a little over 3 weeks post op. I was able to add a soft scrambled egg with shredded cheese. Takes me awhile to eat it, but so tasty and REAL food! I’m struggling with purée texture. Try to focus on your protein intake and stay hydrated. This is temporary, once we can eat real food in small portions we will be all the better for it! Stay strong!
