7 weeks out. I'm scared because I just started wanting food again



Recommended Posts

Up until 6 weeks out. I was never hungry and the crazy thing. Was I never thought about food. Then I had to go out of town for 6 days unexpectedly. And I knew I had to get Protein. Not being home was hard. I relied on Protein Bars and nuts. To get my protein. We spent alot of time visiting family at hospital. And i only had access to a vending machine. Which is why i chose nuts. Now. I just got home. I keep thinking about food. Trying to eat proper protein today. I'm doing ok. But the thinking and wanting food all the time again. Scares me. I am wondering if all the choc protein bars make me crave food again or what. But I had to get protein and I didn't have a fridge at hotel. Which made it even harder. Now that I'm home. I'm not eating the bars anymore. But I'm so scared. The fact I want food all day again. I thought I'd of gained weight on trip. I actually lost 3. I was shocked because I felt fat and puffy after a week of eating like that. Has anyone been through wanting food like this ?

I have to agree with Amy...bars make me hungry. I am surprised that the hotel didn't give you a refrigerator. I travel a lot in the beginning. I got a doctor' note and spoke to managers of the hotels. I was always able to get a frig. or access to a frig because it was a medicate reason.

If you drink mostly high Protein low carb normally, the bars might have knocked you out of ketosis. If you do something like that Atkins induction phase, it will probably put you back in ketosis and knock out the hungries. Be sure to get in all of your protein and Water.< /p>

      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.
