Supp Grp 14 "What Didn't You Expect After Surgery?"

[regina657]

I can't stop cheating on my liquid diet. I really havent lose that much weight and my surgery is on Thursday..I feel soooo bad, .Is there anything I can do?

[WeightNoLonger]

I cheated too but it was only with small amounts of protein. I still lost 10 pounds. Knuckle down for the last 2 days - it's important for the rest of your LIFE! If your liver hasn't shrunk enough they may back out from the surgery or your surgery recovery could be much rougher. Starving for the next 2 days is much better than a rough recovery. Just my thoughts! Good Luck.

When you notice that you are having 'head hunger' ask yourself the question "what do I need?" . I saw that on a video, and I ask myself that question now. I have to have a snack inbetween meals to try to keep my blood sugar even throughout the day. I can't wait to feel really "good" and full of energy! Hmmmm...I am still waiting for pizza to be yucky... I have been going every 2 weeks for fills - yes, they are very concerned about giving you too much of a fill - that is bad. Thanks!

I hope that one day I could enjoy one slice of pizza rather than 2 whole pizzas. :)

Steve, your surgery will definitely make you feel full on much smaller amounts!

[WeightNoLonger]

I'm with you on that. It's amazing how little you can eat and have to stop. That is the best part of the surgery and the fact that you just aren't hungry. I was always hungry before.

[WeightNoLonger]

The head hunger seems to be going away. I don't know if that's temporary or not. I went to a wedding this past weekend and it didn't bother me that everyone was eating tons of food and cake. I just wanted my little chicken breast to fill full and I was happy.

I love that you do this for us please never stop... I need this inf. I never got this so bless you for doing this sweetie love it...thank you thank you...love rosemary

[WeightNoLonger]

Not a problem rosemary. As long as everyone likes it I'll keep doing it. I'm glad you enjoy the reviews.

I am on Obesity Help, and I always think it is interesting how many people eat snacks throughout the day. My surgeon is vehement about us not eating between meals. I guess everyone works their tools differently.

Hearing that everyone feels well is a huge relief to me...I am so looking forward to that as well.

I can't imagine pizza tasting yucky lol, I hope my tastebuds hate it too!

[WeightNoLonger]

The best thing I have found so far is not being hungry all the time. I can postpone a meal with no problem.
