Thank you that's very helpful advice. Is it ok to have an extra shake or bar if I'm struggling? I wasn't sure if that was just as bad.

It really is important for you to stick to the preop diet plan. Try cutting your shakes with Water so they go further and fill you up more. Drink more broth. When you have the Vegemite craving, tell yourself, "I can't have that now, but I will have it later." And you will - once you get to that stage post op. Pre-op can be hard, but this time truly will pass. You just have to hang in there. Get rid of anything in the house that is going to tempt you - like the Vegemite.

I hear alot about broth. I haven't been told by my surgeon anything about broth. Is broth like chicken stock? Like the Fluid part of Soup?

You could always put a teaspoon of vegemite (or marmite) in some hot Water and make your own broth to get that flavour.

Yes.... i lived on wonton Soup (with out the wontons)... just drank the broth. Some dr. allow egg drop soup. I also did other Soups and just strained out the big chunks so all i was left with was the broth (fluid).

Cheating is bad, but quitting all together is worse. Acknowledge your mistake and move on. Don't let a cheat meal be a cheat day. You already know where that is going to lead you. Dust yourself off and get back on track! You got this!!

I feel hungry all the time. Is it hunger or is it years of mental abuse on myself and I'm confusing the 2. I just keep trying to push through it looking towards the next meal break.

Drink lots of Water. Your body AND mind are still getting used to your new way of eating. No one said it would be easy, but hang in there!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      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! 😞
