I am on day 6 and going to the full liquid stage tomorrow. I am learning how my new tummy feels. I have had weird feelings, unsure if is it hunger or maybe a spasm, or even little cramping. I was told to be very careful of mental hunger !! Also I was told that my little tummy is swollen for up to six weeks, and still very very small like a straw .

I was feeling the same confusion as u I am now 6 days post op. I went on YouTube and Dr.Alvarez made a wonderful explanation as to what we are feeling and it made perfect sense. I would paste the link but I'm on my phone but yes I too felt hunger pain in the middle of the night I was freaked out had two sips of my shake and went back to bed LOL

Look it up though it will mKe u feel much better

I'm still preop but thank you for this post, so rumbling and swelling going down makes more sense. :-)

      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.
