I was hungry until I got to "real" food. liquids and mushy never made me feel full. Now my meal is 2 oz of Protein (chicken, hamburger, fish) and that is it. I stay full for 4 hours on to oz of dense protein. You may also ask your doctor about a ppi. Acid feels like hunger. Since taking a ppi I dont feel hunger most days.

PPI is a proton pump inhibitor, i.e. Zantac, Pepcid. It reduces the stomach acid that gives you heartburn/indigestion.

I would ask about the ppi. Many people take it post op. I never had any acid problems pre op and didnt feel like I had acid post op. I know I need it because if I forget to take my pill, I feel hungry. With it... I dont feel hungry at all unless it is head hunger. The further out I get it is easier to know when it is head hunger. When I truly need to eat it feels more like I am empty. Also, for me, full is not the same as it was pre op. I eat set portions of food only. I dont feel full like pre op... It is more like satisfied. Keep on doing what you are doing!

      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.
