Recommended Posts

Im not hungry but want to eat something

:(. Like Soup with thin noodles (liptons chicken soup) would this hurt me? Ive been doing great on all liquids, no nausea or vomiting what so ever.. Hot or cold liquids dnt make any difference to my new tummy.

Why would you sabotage your WLS?? You are only 8 days out and it is so important to follow the guidelines that you were given. Follow your surgeon's program-if you don't that is where problems and complications begin. One of the main complications that can occur from trying no foods to fast is a stricture. I have not had one but they aren't fun and when you have one you need to go back in for an outpatient procedure. Im not saying that six months to a year from now you won't cheat on foods we shouldn't eat but being so early out just don't do it.

I never said i wanted to cheat. Im simply bored of full liquids. I think im ready to advance to pureed/soft foods. Phase 3 is just a few days away for me.

I realize how it feels to be ready to advance your diet I would just really follow your program guidelines. I have read horror stories about people eating foods they shouldn't to early. Even though soft food is probably not going to hurt you- what is a few more days. Ultimately it is your decision... :)

      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.
