Its My 4Th Week Since Surgery And Feeling Hungry !



Recommended Posts

I have been eating Chinese take out since about 3 weeks so you should be fine. Just stay away from anything fried, with rice or noodles or anything with a real sugary sauce. I tend to lean towards chicken egg foo young or Mongolian beef.

I know every doctor is different. My doctor willnt allow rice, bread and any flour products until the six month. He states it will get stuck and you will be miserable for hours. Honestly, I don't think our stomach is healed enough for rice, my opinion. I can barely get an oz of food in and I am 4.5 weeks post op. If you are hungry my doctor prescribed a medication to relieve the hungar pains which he described as not really being hungar. Good luck... egg drop Soup would be a good choice.

According to the diet plan that my doctor gave me on discharge I can not have rice, bread until farther out post op. I know that each doctor is different but to be safe I would check with your NUT. You certainly do not want the rice to plug you up and make you sick and start vomiting at this early stage so close to your surgery. I am 9 weeks out and almost stopped yesterday at Chinese to get some chicken and veggies.

I don't see why not. Stay away from the stuff others have warned you about. I am still wary about eating bread, rice and Pasta and I am almost 3 months out. I had 1/6 a breadstick at Olive Garden and felt OK afterwards but any more than that might have gotten stuck.

      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.
