I cant have the tv on for 10 mins without seeing pizza, fried chicken, steak, junk food. This pre op diet is hard enough on its own! Comcast is trying to kill me I swear! Does seeing the stuff you really like but "can't or shouldn't " have get easier post op? These cravings right now are crazy!

It gets easier, I'm on my last day.

I found getting creative with creamy Soups made my cravings so much easier. I still drool over some commercials, but I know that soon enough I'll have my samplings.

Tomorrow is my big day and 14 more days of liquid diets... honestly at this point I'd be happy for the pureed stage.

LOL. I totally understand! 6 mos ago this was all still a dream. My biggest fear was a lifetime of Vitamins. Now I'm nervous and excited for tomorrow and the days that follow.

You got this, 6 of 14 is almost halfway and it gets better. I found progresso Soup chicken cheese enchilada soup, it was slightly spicy and flavorful. It was those Soups that I normally don't eat that helped me through the 2 weeks.

Spectrum , the ex Time Warner, keeps running the Humane Society commercials about dogs staked outside and cats with,infected eyes. Suppressed my appetite very well. Then they put on their promo ads followed immediately by Direct TV's Cut the Cable promo. Reminds me of political campaigns, just had a special election in my market area, all I ever got from this campaign is one candidate was a reprehensible excuse for a human being and the other one is a blithering idiot. In truth, they probably are very nice men. Gosh sometimes I hate politics!

And if that isn't enough since this was a special election to fill a vacated seat, they are running against each again in November. And they are having a recount because 1 the votes were very close 2,. They would not total the provisional ballots and absentee ballots until after August 18th. 3. The Republican is claiming victory, the Democrat refuses to concede. Our very own little soap opera/ reality show in Mid-Ohio. Further turn, I got "no,dog in the fight", due to gerrymandering it isn't even MY Congressional District, although I live 20 miles from one combatant, 30 miles from the other, still I'm in another district.
Where oh where is sanity and good sense these days?

Have DVR? Pause your show before commercials. Or record them and fast-forward.

Be strong. Focus on the goal. Don't put yourself in a position to make your hurdles taller than they already are.

      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?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
