hungry starving 6 days post o Starving at 6 days out....

I really love you all!!! Thanks so much! I did take my PPI this morning & so far, so good. I have had 12 oz Water (not doing so great today) so far & nearly an entire 5.3 oz container of 100 calorie Yoplait Green Lemon flavored yogurt. NUT said to stay away from seeds & the first bite I had of yogurt was strawberry & got a mouth full of itty bitty seeds that I spit out (well, wipe them off my tongue with a napkin actually).

Now I'm having my first Protein shake of the day which is 110 calories/14 grms of Protein & I mixed it with 6 oz of fat free milk, which has protein too but not sure how much??

Have to get back to drinking Water like I did yesterday. I was so hungry yesterday so that's why I drank so much!

I do find that when I drink my stuff super cold, it goes down better for me. Also, I can take a nice sized gulp too. I don't have to take an itty bitty sip like the NUT said & everyone else. Only if it's cold tho!

If I hadn't seen my upper GI x-ray, I'd have really wondered if I had been sleeved, but I saw my banana shaped/sized tummy so it must have happened! With the hunger I had yesterday tho, I was really doubting I did have the surgery!

Thanks so much for all your help! It's nice to come here where people understand cause as much as my hubby wants to understand, he just doesn't since he hasn't been in my shoes. He won't ever be either since he knows how to control himself, unlike me.

I was sleeves the same day also and today was the first day I met my Protein goal. Definitely take your ppi. I missed a dose yesterday and felt hungry and when I took missed dose went away. Also today I ate a cream based Soup (panera baked potato Soup strained of course) and felt very full after. Ate about 2 oz and felt like a new woman!

Now I have a craving for Panera's baked potato soup! LOL! Maybe I'll have my hubby pick one up for me tonight or tomorrow!

BTW, I just ****LOVE**** your user name here! Very clever!!! Mrs.SleevieNicks! LOL!!! Two thumbs up for that one!

I think I know what you feel. Before surgery when i was on the pre-op diet i got so hungry 1 hr after i woke i was in pain. Actually in pain! I couldn't figure it out. I was not used to eating in the am. On the pre-op diet i started the day with a Protein shake. Like clockwork within an hour every day i had extreme hunger pains. On several of those days i gave in and ate something to make it stop, usually an Atkins meal. It did stop. The next day, lather-rinse- repeat. On day 5 i decided to treat it like reflux. For me the best cure has always been a cup of milk. I tried it and voila. Problem solved. Since surgery it has not happened. I think the reason is that my surgeon started me on a different RX. I haven't had a trace of acid or reflux since surgery and have not felt hunger. I guess what I'm suggesting is that if someone finds themselves in post-op starvation feeling try drinking 1/2 cup ff milk. Its worth a try and won't cause a problem with your post-op diet unless you're lactose intolerant.
