3 Days Post-Op and I'm Hungry!



Recommended Posts

Count me in as a member of the diarrhea club! :eek:

My pangs were definitely hunger. Some people don't get that feeling though - lucky for them!

Best of luck to you.

I guess diarrhea is better then Constipation. My belly hurts bad enough when I just cough....I'd hate to be straining to go to the bathroom. YOUCH!! :eek:

Thanks for all the input. I forgot that I had some pudding so I made some of that yesterday and that stayed with me a lot longer. I ordered some flavorless Protein and when that gets here I hope to add that in to some of my yougurts and stuff to help it sit longer. I have been keeping track of I've been eating and the calories and I'm hitting about 500 calories a day or so. Maybe I'll convince my hubby and kids to go for a walk later to help if I need it. Thanks again!

I had my surgery on the 23rd my post-op diet is.

Breakfast 2oz pureed Protein, 1oz pureed fruit

lunch 2oz pureed protein 1oz pureed fruit

dinner 2oz pureed protein 1oz pureed vegetables

This keeps me full all day. My problem is with Constipation haven’t had bowel movement since day before surgery. Started the Benefiber today hope it works.

I had my surgery on the 19th, and I am just now to the point where I am hungry. Try taking some plane yogurt and adding some of your Protein Powder to it. I know that when I was doing my pre-op diet, I was having a really hard time with finding something that would stop the hunger pains, and this really helped. Good Luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
