What staged diet are you?? When I came home from hospital I was full liquids so Soups (strained) yogurt, pudding and liquids. I usually drank as much as i could all day and ate two to three times a day. Did they not give you some sort of guide?? My program gave us a booklet sample times and sample foods. If they didn't I would call them and tell them you need something. You probably won't feel hungry but right now you need to get liquids and Protein in!!

I know liquids get tiring initially. I did liquids 13 days post op but it is so important to follow the staged diet for healing of pouch and to prevent complications like strictures. Just keep drinking, taking in Soup. I found chicken broth worked best for me to get all my liquids in. I could put it in a cup and helped to prevent dehydration. Crystal light works wonders in Water too to make it taste better and jazz it up.. Hang in there-there is a reason for this stage of the game.

Your body isn't ready for solids, but our mind sometimes gets the best of us. Just stick with liquids - try all kinds of Soups, mashed potatoes, oatmeal. Lots of options out there.

Right now you probably want to rely on the clock to know when it's time to eat. I tried to stick as close to the times they brought me food in the hospital. The hunger feeling will come back as you heal.

      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.
