Recommended Posts

Glad I found this post - thanks for the reply Tiffy, it is now perfectly clear to me why I can't feel full!

I thought that it was just because I'm on liquids and am STARVING for something with substance. I want to CHEW something and eat something that is going to last so that I don't have this contant hunger feeling! I'm sick of liquids and chicken broth already and can't even have mushies for another 15 days! :001_smile: What am I going to do!?!?!

I can't even watch TV without seeing something related to food and it is killing me!! :eek:

Once you get to full liquids, my program allowed sugar free pudding, small curd cottage cheese, greek and regular yogurt. Regular gatorade has sugar, but it definitely helped keep me hydrated, and gave me something different to drink that didn't make me sick.

If you are cleared for full liquids, see what all you can have. Full liquids are still liquids, but they do have more "staying" power than just clears.

SF pudding with Protein powder mixed in helps keep you satisfied longer as well.

It does get better I promise. Just hang in there ! ! !

Last night I bought some vegetable beef Soup and just strained everything out of it. It was nice to have something besides Protein Drinks. I am getting pretty burnt on them. I am on the 3rd day of the 2 week pre-op diet. Glad to hear you are feeling better. :001_smile:

      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.
