Don't do it! The grumble is not hunger it's trying to adjust. I'm 9 days out and I hear ya! If anything try some thicker Protein like a Special K or slim fast. I "cheated" on day 5 by making Tomato Soup with extra Water bc everything else made me gag. Good luck!

The grumbling is NOT HUNGER!!

It's acid, call your surgeon and ask about taking an acid reducer... The first few months my stomach was grumble, rumble and make some seriously crazy noises, its all par for the course.

your hunger hormones are still floating around your body also. that takes a while to go away.. its pretty normal. besides, you're on liquids. thats not going to make a full feeling stick around. it gets better. then the surgical swelling goes down and you get hungry again. at that point you'll want to stay full on Proteins. hunger is something we're always going to battle, unfortunately.

      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.
