I Am Starving!

[Julez23 2]

I am 17 days post op and I was starving on liquids also but once I started pureed foods I finally feel satisfied again. Hang in there' date=' it does get better![/quote']

Good for you!!!!! I wish I was on purée food already!! If you don't mind can you share some recipes, so that I can be prepared when I get there?

i had my surgery on Thursday the 27th. My stomach isn't hungry. But my mind is constantly telling me i want food. I think it just takes time to get used to. Your eating habits changed drastically. your mind needs time to adjust. Hang in there the results will be worth it. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Lol! Maybe that's what's going on, but I feel the rumble in there lol!!! It can be mental as well since I haven't had food in over 4 weeks! I can't wait till I begin my purée stage!!! Lol thank you

Same here. I'm almost 3 weeks and I want sassy foods. Tonight I made lasagna for family and I had Tomato Soup. I made them apple crisp for desert and I had unsweetened applesauce (I did add cinnamon and sugar- ya do what's the point of unsweetened right?). I want brownies popcorn m&m's etc. still waiting for head hunger and cravings to lesson

Aww that sucks!!! I have read there are alternatives for lasagne once you reach the purée stage! Trust me I can't wait to get there! I love applesauce and I can't wait to eat some again lol!!! Little by little I believe we will be able to overcome this, the beginning is always hard! Everything should be getting better soon

hopefully' date=' you should be done by now right? hope so! I am on day 9 of my liquid diet and I feel the same way! I thought it would be better, some hours of the day are better than others, I keep drinking Water, tea, eating Jello, pudding, popsicles. it's hard for me, especially at work where people are always eating. Be strong, you should be done with it by now and it will all be a memory. i come here to get moral support and remind myself that i will soon be posting how much better it will be 'afterwards'.

Have Faith everyone, we are doing something to better ourselves and live a healthy life![/quote']

I wish I could tell you I was done!!! I'm still on liquids! according to the receptionist at my doctors office they still don't have the nutritionist schedule! I was supposed to start tommorow, but god knows when that'll be! And YES!! I keep thinking it'll get better, it'll get better! I just can't wait to eat something! Anything!!!! Lol and yes I agree! We are doing something to better ourselves ! Thank you!

After years of consuming lots of calories, of course our bodies feel like they are starving. It's not head hunger, you are lacking all those nutrients you are used to. It takes time to get acclimated. And not everyone loses their REAL hunger, some people still feel real hunger and head hunger. Once you start with more solid foods you will start to feel a lot better. Hang in there!!

I sure hope so. Now I'm hungry again and it's 8:38. I am thinking- ignore it or go eat a sf pudding? I hate when I think about this stuff.

Oh my lasagna. Pretend its gonna kill you and you can never have it again. Thats how I deal with alot of foods that are not in your best interest

I am 4 weeks out I felt after 1week like I was hungry I asked myself did they really take my stomach lol. Then puree I ate but got hungry sometimes. Then I started to go away. If I got hungry 1z of cottage cheese ur a string cheese or 1oz cheddar and I was ok. Now at 4 weeks I only feel hungry if I go along time between meals, like 6 hours after waking up. It does get better.

Thanks. That's hopeful . I go back to work Thursday and I'm hoping that will be the same for me. I do fine controlling it and never ever overdo it.
