Day before VSG..any advice? I'm nervous! And starving to death!!
Can the surgeon tell if you be cheated? I lost 15 pounds in the past 12 days and I'm already under 190 lbs!!
How long after surgery before. I will be able to eat real food? I am craving salad with Thousand island dressing so bad! And I never used thousand island dressing before this diet! Wierd huh??
Who's hungry???

Deep breath - this is just a very short time. Is eating anything really worth risking postponing your surgery. You know the saying - nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. It's just your mind messing with you - stay strong!
My best advice as you get ready for Monday is to re-read your information. Post-op you will be very groggy and will make mistakes (trust me), get as much information clear in your head while your head is still clear! Good luck Monday - prayers and happy thoughts are headed your way!
Man, I was starving before surgery and after surgery! I don't know if that is head hunger but stomach actually growls when I get hungry. I can only ear full liquids now but I eat when I feel hungry and I stop exactly at the point where I feel remotely full.
I eat about 3-6 times per day and all is small portions and lots of liquid. I think the cravings are head hunger and because you remember what it tastes like and so forth. I get that too and it is ok with me.
I am looking forward to the day where I get to eat real food again, I mean solid food not high sugar or high fat, just solid, lol.
Hang in there Hon and good luck with sugery.
Hugs,
Rita
Thank You everyone! Today is the end of 12 days no food..just liquids..so it's hard..as you all know...I don't understand why some doctors only require one day fast, some let you eat some foods etc...I have read so many different scenarios...it makes you wonder why...that is why I feel like it doesn't matter too much if I have a few pumpkin seeds or something that I can actually chew..
I have to say, reading everyone's posts on this site has helped me so much!! I don't think I'm going to be able to make it without everyone here..thank you from the bottom of my heart...because I'm so afraid of failing! I have to get my diabetes under control..it's killing me...I have NASH too...
thank you everyone! God Bless!! pray for me Monday, please? Xox
