I'm 8 days post-op and I am also hungry. I've been reassured that for some people it takes a few weeks, up to 4 or 5, to feel full. But everyone promises that it will happen. And I am holding them to it!

Hang in there!

Wow your doctor advanced you fast. I wish I could have chilli :( I'm 4 days post up and I'm on full liquids until the 27th. Then I go for my 2 week check up and move to puréed. I am also hungry now. I chalk it up to the liquids not having any real body to them to fill me. I did have a thicker Soup for dinner tonightA butternut squash with a dollop of FF Greek yogurt. Yummy and filled me a lot more then the broth and Jello has been! I hope when I get to puréed I'm not hungry still. Like others though I've heard it takes a little while for us to get to a feeling of full.

I am 5 days post op, I had my first "hunger" pain in the middle of the night last night. I grabbed a sugar free 10 calorie Jello cup and could only eat half of it and I was more than satisfied. I am on liquids till I think Friday and then can switch over to "soft" (consistenancy of yogurt). But if they tell me liquids for another week, I won't fight it, I am not prepared to move up yet....mentally!

      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.
