Drink Water and get out of the house and walk. If it continues, have a Protein based 100cal snack.< /p>

have you had a fill? Are you measuring your portions? Until you have fill restriction it's a hard time.

If so then find something else to do instead of eat.... Doing something with your hands is a good start.... I have a friend who knits. She says it keeps her from eating because she doesn't want to get the yarn dirty.

make sure you are writing down everthing that you have eaten today---any triggers that come to mind.

I'm so sorry that you have had such a difficult day, but tomorrow is another day, start fresh drinking Water, getting in all your Protein first, journel, and spend sometime doing some pre planning for what you will be eating for a day. Good luck. Effie---You are not alone!!!

All I can say is welcome to bandster hell... 4 weeks post op can be tuff, no restriction... so what to do?

I drank alot, whenever I felt hungry i drank 8ozs Water and if i was still hungry i ate. Most times the Water was enough. I also preoccupied myself, went for walks, did crafts anything but eat.

Its not easy, but its not forever either. You will survive. Good luck.

There will be days like this. You have to just try to do other things to keep yourself occupied. Clean, drink lots of Water. Go walk, brush your teeth ( yes that helps with hunger) start exercising.

I am only three week post-op and have luckily been ok. On Sunday, though, I felt really hungry. I had a hot cup of tea and the feeling subsided.

Hope today was better than yesterday!

      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.
