Six Days Post-Op, And I Am Hungry!

[CoCo41 54]

I am 3 weeks out and starving most of the time. I have found that adding Fiber to my Protein shakes and puddings tends to fill me up better. Being in the puree stage, I also am able to fill up on pureeing meat with canned Soups. I must admit that I am discouraged too though because I was really hoping that the surgery would help me overcome hunger but it hasn't so far. I have also only lost 5 lbs since surgery. I'm not sure that I would have had the surgery if I had known that this would be the result. I actually just bought some appetite suppressants to help me with the hunger. I'm thinking that another way to deal with the hunger though is to make sure that we eat or drink something, no matter how small, every 2 hours. I have to set an alarm to remind myself. I find though that I am much more satiated if I force myself to have something every 2 hours than if I only eat or drink 3 times a day.

When you do soups try to go toward the ones with the most Protein, I am currently 3 weeks post and eat lentils. split pea with ham bits and it fills me up quicker and it holds me longer
