1 Week Post Op - Hungry.....



Recommended Posts

I'm one week post op today, and lost 9lbs this week. However, today seems like a turning point in hunger. I have been starving all day ( tummy growling hunger). I'm feeling concerned about the "feeling full" aspect. When I'm turned loose on regular food, will I really get that "full" satisfied feeling? Right now I feel like the bottomless pit.

I'm 3 weeks out today and I've just started feeling hungry but only if I haven't eaten. Make sure your getting your Water and Protein in. The protein will help with hunger. 9 pounds is great! I'm down 22 lbs today but I was at a stall for about 4 days.

You will feel full once you start on the full liquids and puree! Matter of fact my stomach tells me if you eat another bite "you will be sorry". I only eat 4oz 3 times a day and I have 2 Snacks but nothing over 100 calories. I measure out the for oz and when I get down to the last bite or 2 I feel a huge difference in my stomach.

Have you went to your 1 week post op yet? If not, write all these questions down because when I went for mine, I for got everything I wanted to ask about cause I was so excited about the weight that I had lost.

Anyway, keep me posted I'd like to hear how your doing since our surgery dates were so close.

Good luck.

      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.
