Wow. This is a big change... I sure I will get used to it in a few days, but I could eat a small horse right now. Anyone else enjoying this special moment with me?

If anyone is hungry enough to eat lard--I can donate my ass for the cause. Tastes like chicken! (but looks like cottage cheese!)

Well, that was just too funny not to acknowledge your contribution. A sense of humour is so important. Good luck all with the pre-op! I promise - it does get easier.

I started on Monday - surgery date 9 November. So I am on a soft diet for 2 weeks then a liquid diet for 1.

3 weeks....... of hell. Hope I can stick it out.

Samantha.

Unless I'm driving by all these food places, I have no appetite to eat what so ever. I don't completly know why, and I'm forcing myself to eat but I just am not even hungry-- part of me hopes it stays this way for a while.

Anyone else?

I dreamt last night that as well as the gastric bypass the doctor hynotised me so that I was never ever hungry again. He then programmed my brain for 3 meals and 2 snacks a day at certain times so that I would eat even without the hunger. Do you think........Nah it couldn't be!
