ok so I'm 15 days post op and i feel like I'm starving!!! the nurse told me its head hunger and of course i got a little defensive .... like your not in my body you don't feel what i feel. after a lot of thought i realized a lot of it is in my head ..... i see all this food that I'm used to eating in fact as a single mom I'm up close to it 24/7 because i obviously can not starve my kids but I'm struggling big time because even though some of it is in my head i am also really hungry as embarrassing as it is i have to admit I've eaten a very tiny piece of meat and it hurt my stomach I've chewed and spit. I've even sucked the cheese of Cheetos (I've rarely done these thing but i have done them) i keep telling my self that i can do this but in reality its very hard people think that we chose surgery as the easy way out but its actually harder than most would think!!! its not a magic cure its only a tool to help us get to our goal it still depends on us to make it happen!!! does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get through this liquid stage with out completely failing??

i found it on YouTube the only thing i would change is using boneless chicken without skin since we cant really have skin and fat oh and if you love Chinese food they have a recipe for shrimp fried rice lol

so i tried vanilla cream protein drink in my decaf coffee and i must say its not completely terrible lol

congrats!!! i see my dr for the first time since surgery Monday and I'm only 5 days from purees

that actually makes me feel a lot better thank you!!

i found a recipe for arroz con pollo with cauliflower rice!!!

I'm gonna look for that to try

boost isn't all that bad but its still not something i wanna drink 3x a day lol i hated premier lol

I'm going to try those thanks!!!

ive tried so many from liquid to powder and the water is just as bad for me

see with me i cant really stomach the protein drinks and my puree stage isn't until the 15th but i order the chicken noodle soup from Panera (a soup and sandwich restaurant) with mostly broth and it seems to help;

i checked out that web site and I'm defiantly going to order some lol

what are the websites and what thing have you tried making so far

I'm reading about everyone having to do a liquid diet 1-2 weeks before that's crazy idk if i would have survived lol i only had to do liquids the day b4

i had mine February 22nd!!!

will it taste the same if i make yellow rice?

have you had ur surgery yet??

thanks!!!

I had mine the same day !!!! I've been having that problem as well but I guess you don't really need the advice now that you can start your puree it sux my Dr says the 15th but if it does help someone told me about bone broth which has about 10g so that a few times a day is great and you can cook with it !! best of luck and congrats!!!

I owe you thanks I drink broth 3-4 times a day but apparently the wrong kind lol I was only getting in 1-2 grams of protein in per serving so I switched it up and bought the bone broth and now ill get 30-40 grams of protein in a day so thank you so much!!!! now I don't really have to worry as much

I have been having so much trouble with my protein I cant seem to get the shakes down they're so nasty to me!( starting to feel a little week and shaky) I've also have been having an issue with getting in fluids they tell me 64 ounces a day I only get a bout one 16 once bottle a day.( I feel full and feel like I cant fit it) please if anyone has any Ideas let me know

I've tried a bunch ( slim fast advanced with 20 protein I've also tried premier and choc, vanilla, strawberry whey protein powder and I just bought the unflavored but it still tasted like protein powder to me lol btw if anyone needs protein powder I got some barely used lol jk

thanks I will definitely try that exception of the sugar free jello every time I've tried it my stomach hurts like crazy

you just had surgery so don't worry give it some time I'm 8 days out and down 22lbs !!! get ready to start dropping pounds!!!

I will definitely try that thank you so much
