I Think I Can Eat Too Easily



Recommended Posts

Are u drinking plenty of Water? I am almost 3 weeks out and I get hungry,although I thought the removal of Grehlin was taking care of hungry.. :/ I have found that if I don't drink enough fluids I get hungry more often. When I wake up in the morning,I require myself to drink 20 ozs of Clear Liquids before I put any food in my mouth,10 more ozs before lunch and at least 10 more ounces before dinner. This keeps me full and works on getting the required amounts of liquid in too.

Its only been a week and I've been eating pureed food today. Had an egg with cheese for breakfast, 3oz lean taco meat with some cheese, two fudge pops, Protein Shakes, bottle Water. And I feel fine. Never really fully full. Just scared to push it. Is this normal only 7 days post opp. I feel like I can keep eating.

Wow, You can really seel how every Dr. plan is different. I am 10 days out tomorrow and just starting full liquids. I am not hungry at all but do lack the energy. So I am excited about starting this phase. I What keeps me there is wanting to give my stomach time to heal from the staple line inside. I am afraid to eat more... all though I must say I am a little jealous. eggs and taco meat w/ cheese sounds yummy.

Make sure you get your liquids and Protein in. For the first 3 weeks I was on a liquid diet. Then 3 more weeks on pureeded food, and then 3 and moist foods. I am working on under eating my sleeve but today, I am eating everything. ;)

      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.
