I was supper pumped yesterday and couldn’t wait for today to begin my diet but when I woke up this morning I almost convinced myself that I should start tomorrow and instead have salmon with Alfredo and ribs for dinner. Like I really had to talk myself out of it and get rid of everything else in the fridge. I haven’t experienced hunger pangs but I can’t stop thinking about all the delicious food I want to eat [emoji30]

Can you guys suggest any weightloss shows or documentaries that will keep me a little distracted?? Thanks in advance

Well peeps I broke,down today and watched another episode of my 600 pound life after I swore I never would. It was the episode Kirsten's Story. Found myself appalled and yet fascinated,by the proceedings. I hope this doesn't sound upsetting but it was like watching an caged animal in the zoo, I didn't feel a link with her at all., So I finished watching with a sense of detachment. I am glad I am not a part of that show. ?

Also the pre op liquid diet prepares you for post op. I'm one week post op and feeling great. Looking forward to this new journey.

I’m so jealous! I can’t wait to be where you’re at bc this liquid diet is killing me. I’m expecting post op liquid stage to be much easier because it just has to be. Being full after a few sips sounds good to me but being this hungry after 5 shakes is torture [emoji30]

I’m such a complainer lol

Think of it this way. Is it worth possibly sabotaging your surgery by giving in to your food cravings? This helped me even though I wasn't as hungry during my pre op liquid phase, I just couldn't imagine them not being able to perform surgery because I didn't follow the diet. What you're experiencing is totally natural

The pre op is hard. But this journey is supposed to be hard. Every time I’m tempted to cheat, I remind myself that the reason I’m heading into Bariatric surgery is due to a lifetime of a chest here, and there.
I’m on day 6 of my 14 day pre op & Down 10lbs.

Awesome! The struggle is worth it!

Pre-op is tough, and so is the first month post-op. Then it starts to get easier. Hang in there, its worth it!

Facts! That’s the only thing that keeps me going. The thought that they can’t perform surgery or that I make it harder and more painful than it needs to be. So I will drink my shakes and then come on here and complain about how hungry I am afterwards [emoji23][emoji108]

Excellent.. have you felt sick at all? I’m starting to feel really hot like it comes from inside of me. I also feel my blood pressure low and super nauseous and fatigued. Also every shake I drink is starting to taste sweeter and sweeter ugh [emoji58]

My first five days were a breeze. My sons stopped by for a visit and brought fried chicken and fries; at work there were doughnuts, cookies, cakes and every commercial was related to food. ? I never felt sick because I kept telling myself too think of the outcome. One day I was tempted, I grabbed a bottle of water and took a two mile walk. It helps to divert your focus.
