I am 2 weeks after surgery and starting soft foods per the doc's okay. The deal is, I have no appetite, I'll get a little hungry, but nothing really sounds good so I'll have a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes or some Beans and then I am done. I've had a few cravings, not so much for specific foods, but tastes - ike sour, or textures - like creamy. I'll have something to answer those cravings and then I'm over it and not hungry.

This is a very new sensation for me and it's a little scary, but good - right?

Anyone having the same feelings?

I went through the same thing. It's normal, it's gonna take you a few weeks to get a little more in. Just make sure to keep hydrated. Congrats on you journey!

SO normal!! I was the same exact way. I loved not being hungry (I understand it being a little scary because it's so weird!). It's very good! :) Take care!

Feeling the same way. It's nuts to feel no hunger. My tummy will get chatty if its empty for too long. But little "food" and it will quite down for several hours. I have to pay attention to the clock and make myself eat.

Crazy... :-)

      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.
