I eat what im supposed to and watch my calories as well as my Protein intake. I have a hard time getting enough fluids in but i try lol. These last few days I feel like I cant get enough to eat. Ill eat at my meal times and 45 mins later i feel like im starving and i could naw off my own arm lmao. I go to healthy Snacks but i feel like im defeating the purpose of this surgery by munching all the time. Has anyone else gone through this?

My nurse practitioner & surgeon told me that I was actually dehydrated when I was feeling hungry. So, when I started thinking I was hungry, I would drink, drink, and drink. It worked for me. Hope this helps!

My doctor told me the exact same thing. He said by the time you feel thirst you are already dehydrated. He pushes Water more than anything else. He told me the more I drank the better my weight loss would be.

For me, when I felt like that it was actually acid problem. I didn't have them pre-surgery now, but if I don't take my PPI, I feel like I'm starving.

      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.
