Thanks everyone :-)

Hello, I am three months post op and I do occasionally have "normal foods" just in very small portions.....for example instead of having three pieces of pizza I eat maybe one if I am lucky.... When we go out to dinner I split a meal with my son.... I do allow myself to have things but I make sure that if I am going to have…

I concentrate on myself very much. Not worried about him, just have the nagging feeling and don't understand it.

Thank you everyone....i dont live in the same town as my ex. We were very young when we got together and we're together until 4 years ago when I was 28.....i honestly don't know why I feel this pull to make contact. I was thinking of just sending a card to his parents house wishing him well and leave it at that. I don't…

Yeah we have no kids

I do think I jumped right into my current relationship to help get over the hurt I had felt. I was dating again within weeks of breaking up with my ex.

Lol yes. I don't think we ever wanted to break up just were young and had issues we didn't know how to fix. It was one of those when it was great it was great and when it was bad it was bad. But we always made up. Ugh I don't know I just have this nagging iN me right now and I just don't know what it means. When you spend…

No don't want to see him per say. I wasn't heavy while with him. I can't explain why because I don't know why lol

Yeah I can't lift weights yet but will as soon as I can. Saturday I can eat soft foods but whole food thankfully :-)

That is great to hear :-) They give me a nausea patch right after surgery thankfully... I hate having nausea but I am expecting it.

fire_falcon Yeah my pre-op diet is two weeks :-\ My surgeon wants it to shrink the liver before surgery. My last day before surgery I get to have breakfast and then only clear liquids until midnight.

Thank you Patty, I cant wait until my stomach is smaller and I wont have to worry about being hungry lol

vsg_joanna I have been really good about eating my meals spaced out evenly... Also I try not to think about food at all LOL....what I found has helped me as well when I get hungry is I have some herbal tea and it seems to crave that desire for something that tastes good.

Hello your post op diet is similar to what mine will be.. I have found this site very helpful! What I have been doing with my preop diet is that my family eats the same as me, just on a larger scale because they need to eat healthy too! :-) http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

Congrats!! My surgery is April 4th and I am in the pre-op diet phase, feel free to add me as a friend :-)

Just finished my day and only ate 459 calories and 17 grams of fat and 65 grams of protein.

Thanks everyone for the helpful hints and suggestions..... I am trying to not even think about food LOL but I am sitting here typing this and thinking a burrito sounds pretty good about now haha! I will be strong! and crabby! LOL

**MY pre op diet is basically eating the same portions and frequency as you will after surgery. Eating about 1.5oz protein and 2 oz of fruit or veggie three times a day and for the two middle snacks is 8oz of low fat milk (I use almond milk) and protein powder. My total calories for the day are about 600 haha

Thank you everyone for sharing :0)

Great to hear! :-) I am hoping I have a good experince too :-)

Great to hear the good and the bad :-) I just want to know what to expect and who better to ask then people who went through it :-)

Thanks ladies :-) I am doing pretty well so far. I havent had any coffee today :-)

instant coffee in your shake is an awesome idea!

Thanks Ladies for sharing :-).... food funeral LOL .

Garber6th I wish I didnt have my cravings.... they are insane right now :-( I am trying to be very good though and am starting my pre op diet little early to leave room for error LOL

dsjsmom23 I hope you get your surgery date soon and I am sorry it has taken so long! That would be so frustrating.... I am a starbucks latte girl as well...alas no more :-) My post of plan is if I can tolerate coffee after a while I will use almont milk and sugar free torani syrup and put it all with the coffee int he…

I am getting very excited :-) and nervous, but mostly just concerned with how I will feel after surgery... I dont take pain very well and this is TMI but I am really not happy about a catheter and I am sure they will have one during surgery...silly to be worried about but I really hate the idea! LOL

Thank you ladies for sharing :-) I thought of a farewell food tour but not sure LOL... I have a sweet tooth, I have such a hard time resisting....will for sure have no sweets in the house! LOL

I am hoping to be able to have at least a cup a day once im all healed :-)

Thank you!
