Ugh I feel ya, once I started mushies I started to notice that I could start feeling hungry.

I'd suggest taking a shake and mixing fruit and greek yogurt in it. The yogurt and fruit will make it a little thicker. The fruit also has natural sugar so it decreases the need for sugar. If you do though use splenda, it's not half as bad as it seems, trust me this is coming from someone who wouldnt touch the stuff! Not to mention all the protein!

This is bandster hell! Make sure to get 3 oz of mushie Protein. Protein is what makes you feel full longer.

I feel the same way regarding eating. Started mushies last week and I just have to measure some out because I could certainly eat more. I did one night eat double mushie brussels sprouts and I felt soooo bloated all night.

At day nine I had lost 13 pounds from the day of surgery, since then nothing, in fact a week into mushies and I've gained four pounds???!!!!! However I have since found out that this happens to a lot of people and that I should just stick to the eating plan until I get my fill and okay from the doc to do some serious exercise.

Hang in there.....I am and this forum really does help!

I hear ya everyone...Its day 13 for me, I felt hungry lastnight, had a Lipton Cup a Soup. I still however have some swelling on my port incision underneath. I can feel my port, feels a bit odd to have something under there. I am hoping that swelling goes down, I don;t like it. I go to get my staples out today & I will ask about my swelling side.

Get your protein- I have those Protein shots- and when I take those I noticed i'm not hungry as long as i'm getting my full protein i'm suppose to have- It makes it much better and with drinking my waters and such it helps..

      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.
