I feel like I am eating nonstop. I know I'm not, but I am definitely eating more often than I have been. I dont expect to lose anything between now and my first fill, but i dont want to gain any back either. My stomach is growling like every 3 hours so I know it is not just in my head. I have my first post op appointment in two days and will talk to the Dr then.

im 7 days out and finally starting to feel hungry. still on liquids.. just made the jump from clear consume and popsicles to liquid nofat yogurt. my stomach is playing the anvil chorus most of the time and i haven't seen a formed bm yet. but i know this is all in the short run.. and its related to the surgery and my body getting adjusted to all thats happened to it. protien shakes may ease the hunger and that s in one more day for me.. You are not alone.

I to am 12 days post op. I am able to eat just about anything again. Should I be? Should I only be drinking liquids and very soft stuff? I go back a my 2 week checkin in two days. I don't want to mess up.

Hey loseit...I know you feel like you can eat again...I do too...but you might not be supposed to yet. Take out your packet from the dietition and read about when you are supposed to be on certain diets...because at 12 days I am thinking you should be on purreed or almost off of it? I just saw my doc today and since I get hunger pains he let me go to purrees early...cuz I am only one week out. I am assuming by next week I will be close to soft foods....so its possible that you are ready but you should double check.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I'm on mushy foods for 2 more weeks. I have the band with the plication so I really don't ever feel hungry yet. However, I'm just getting really bored with my food selections.

  • could it be you arent eating enough? I know that was my problem. now that I eat abit more and small snacks inbetween? 4-6 meals, a bit better.
  • its quite a challenge for th itese day, to preplan meals, I honestly didnt worry about protein in every meal, but you will get lots of information on this site
