I had my surgery last Wed., Nov. 7. All went well, but today I am starving ! My stomach is rumbling. I have had 2 Protein Drinks today, 1/4 cup of low sodium chicken broth, 1 sugar free pudding, and 1 sugar free Jello. Not as much Water as I need but I am trying. I was hoping I wouldn't be so hungry after the surgery. Any suggestions?

I guess your mileage may vary.

I had a bit of that, try that Tomato Soup or try a Soup that is a tiny be thicker then broth... the juice of a minestrone soup was great for me.

I know how you feel... We are sleeved twins & today I not sure if I was hungry or just wanted to eat... But I am on Clear Liquids for the next 2 weeks and I think this may be harder than I thought... But we will over come this. Stay strong!

The first weekend is when my hunger hit too- for me it was mostly being over the sweet everything. I made "cream of chicken" Soup with the Unjury chicken powder and skim milk and added a splash of v8 - it got me through while keeping me on my liquids.< /p>

I'm a 11/7 sleever too & today I felt hungry. So before I made Breakfast for company that came to see me a sipped on my Protein Shake & then I was full :-) I can only get down one shake a day. I Hope this coming week I can get down 2. Maybe try pudding? I had a half a cup of pudding n wasn't hungry after that either. But I kind of think it was mental more than anything but I just said to myself oh I'll hv food soon just a lil bit n I'll get to taste things one day just won't over eat. I'm so happy! This was such a great decision! Congrats to all and best wishes as we train our new tummys :-)

Oh my I am so glad I am not the only one..........sleevie nicks is constantly rumbling and gurgling I feel like I can eat a horse......so hungry. In order not to start any bad habits I drink Isopure Protein Water at inappropriate eating times and it does the trick. But wow...I am on. Full liquids and cheated last night with some mash potatoes they went down just fine. How are they any diff from cream of wheat which is on the full liquid diet? Any way I also get sharp what I call gas bubbles on occasion anyone else? I was sleeved on november 6.

      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.
