8 Days out and....

[CarrieP 50]

I'm hungry! Is this normal to be hungry? My stomach is turning and growling. I'm still on liquids till Thursday but I've already cheated and eaten a piece of cheese. It went down fine also I can take pretty big swallows when I drink. Is this normal?

Being "head hungry" is normal at this stage Im kinda going through that stage now but it's going away and I'm 6 days out. It's not healthy to eat cheese this early according to my doctor that's what gets patients back to where the started over weight because they try and eat food to early it leaves less room for weight loss. I have heard of people chewing up the food then spitting it out but not completely swallowing it. Be carful it can get stuck and you can get really sick

Are you allowed milk and Protein Shakes? Those made me feel like I had some substance during my liquid phase. And at about that time I was able to take normal sized drinks

Lol a piece of cheese I think a lot of people cheat sometimes. This is not a easy process to go through. I'm pre op but Protein Shakes deffinetly help the most when ur hungry.

Yes I was told soy or almond plain milk and Protein Shakes are good

I chew the cheese till there's nothing left. I hate doing it but I'm hungry. I am only allowed liquids clear only till Thursday. I think the next stage is ensure drinks for a week or so.

i'm on day 11 and my dr has a 3 week liquid stage so I still have 10 days to go... I kind of paniced on day 7 thinking I just cant drink one more Shake! but I bought plain whey protien powder and started making Soup shakes and now I calmed down I can do it ... but I"ve cheated with a nibble of cheese that I let go to mush and swallowed ...feels good to know we,re not alone

I am on day 12 and am having a hard time with liquids only. I love my Protein Shakes but i crave warm Soup and am not a huge fan of broth. My saving grace has been campbells bean soup. I mush up the Beans real good and Water it down...put some cayenne pepper in it for some spice and i am in heaven. Can usually only consume 5-6 small spoonfools at a time so one can goes a long way. Lots of Protein too!
