2 weeks post-opt need help please



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

It has been about two weeks since I had my lb. I was feeling full and loved it but now I am soo hungry all of a sudden. Is this normal. I've been doing good losing about a lb a day. It is really hard today though all I want to do is eat. Any reccommendations? I have been sticking with the post opt diet strictly which is really hard b/c I can't stand tuna, so my main source of Protein is Beans. Also can anyone reccommend a good Protein Drink I can get a wal-mart-that is low calorie.

What about chicken, Tofu, yougurt, cheese, hard boiled eggs? I at all of these post op and I had only two episodes of crazy hungriness.

I was very nauseated the first week after surgery, then after that passed, I was RAVENOUS! Until you get a couple of fills and have proper restriction, it is difficult. Search this forum for "bandster hell" and you will read all about it.

I really like "Pure Protein" chocolate Protein shakes. I don't think Wally World carries it, but it is available online.

Good luck to you!

It's very normal. Here on the forums it's called bandster hell.

Until you start getting your fills and get restriction you appetite will be almost the same as it was before the surgery.

You've just gotta hang in there for now and do the best you can to continue eating healthly.

      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.
