Day 9 Post op and Hungry!

[CeeLuv 9]

I was sleeved on 7/17 and have been doing well with my liquid diets. Tuesday I will be able to have purée foods but all day I have been contemplating putting the salmon I cooked for my family in a blender....the craving hit me again so I just went to the freezer and grabbed a Popsicle to take my mind off of this...I am gonna get through this.

I was sleeved 7/15 and just blended cream of broccoli Soup. And I had a bite of avocado. Oh boy, was it good. I literally ate 3 tablespoons and felt like I could fall asleep. How are y'all doing otherwise?

How did you make out with the mashed potatoes. I did try a few bites but got scared so I went and grabbed some yogurt....

I'm doing great!!!! Other than feeling hungry. Lol. Full of energy. The only thing different is that I stay cold all the time when before I was always hot!

I'm supposed to be on full liquids for 2 full weeks & I was sleeved on 7/16. I've been starving! Today I broke down & made a portion of Idahoan 4 cheese mashed potatoes (they come in little cups, just add Water & nuke.) OMG, I thought I was eating some gourmet food! It went down well (I did eat slow) & for the first time in a week, I won't be going to bed hungry!

I have an appt on Wed with my surgeon & I'm going to tell him I want a refund! I thought he was supposed to cut out that part of your tummy that brings on hunger. He must have missed mine because I could eat a subway sandwich most times!

I"m only a month out, but I remember 3 weeks of unbelievable hunger. It was ridiculous! I wasn't prepared for that kind of hunger either. The full liquid diet seemed like a reprieve after the Clear Liquids for a week, but I just stayed in a pissed off mood and couldn't stand my Protein Shakes. I even went so far as to chew on some food and spit it out. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I was hungry and it was better than nothing. I don't know when I will ever want another creamy Soup again either. Being on soft Protein, I still crave salads and crunchy vegetables. Prior to surgery, I juiced vegetables almost daily and ate a lot of salads.

Just know that it's normal to feel ravenously hungry. Try not to eat your children and keep your wickedness to yourself. I sent my own self to my room to spare my family.

Coming out on the other side of it is a glorious thing! You can do it!

I was hungry too! I'm 18 days out. Someone told me to take 2 Prilosec OTC because that hunger pain is gas and it absolutely helped.

The thing that is amazing is how good food tastes when you finally get to have it! You are so grateful!! Two bites of mashed potatoes is like heaven. I love that part of this plan - that you don't have to think "oh I will never get to eat that again". You WILL get to eat pretty much everything, just smaller portions!

Sending hubby to drug store now for Prilosec.....sick of this "hungry" feeling too. And I am one of the lucky ones who is able to introduce new foods as tolerated!

Hi i believe it's head hunger. Try eating a Popsicle, drinking more fluids. Try walking .. Even at 11 months post op I get head hunger and once I start drinking my fluids it does get better.
