Feeling Too Hungry?!

[4Everhealthy_88 0]

So I am 13 days post op. I got my surgery done in another country. The diet given by the surgeon worked well while I was still out of the country, but now that I am back home. Hundreds of miles away from the types of liquids i was nourishing myself with and I dont want to stall on my weight loss. So Far I am super hungry ALL the time. My diet mainly consisted of sugar free liquid yogurt, milk, Soup broth, and Jello made to drink only. But i cannot do only this diet anymore. At first i was satisfied now im beginning to feel depressed bc these liquids just arent enough! So my question is What do people eat on a regular basis? Breakfast, lunch, dinner? Sugar free or not? PLEASE let me know. Thank You!

The long post op liquid diet is hard. I had a reaction to sugar substitutes and don't bother with sugar free anything. At this point, I figure I eat so little at a time I want to make it count. I don't do low-fat, either.

The diet link you were given is a good one. What are your surgeon's guidelines? I went to Dr. Aceves and he advocates a full three week of liquids before you can move on. It was really hard for me to make it that last bit - I wasn't hungry but the meals I was eating were boring and I just wanted to CHEW, even if I wasn't hungry. However, the guidelines he has are one reason he hasn't had any leaks.

It may not seem like it but in just one week when you're on mushies and soft foods your complaint will be that you can't possibly eat the food you're supposed to be eating and that eating is a hated chore. You feel like you're starving now but wait until all you can get in is three bites of scrambled egg!
