3 days till surgery and im sooo hungry



Recommended Posts

I'm almost there but I'm like ravish. I want food so bad!!! Things I would never typically eat I'm willing to make exceptions for. I've worked so hard to get where I am and wouldn't jeopardize everything but still I'm thinking...... On the other hand I'm getting nervous not about the after so much but the actual surgery.....

I have 12 days left and I'm feeling the same. Preop diet has me wanting real food so badly. I am tired of being so hungry. Not to mention the food they have me eating tastes awful! Also diet has me running to the bathroom constantly. So not fun! I just have to keep reminding myself this is worth it.

Me too! Surgery in 2 days wanted a hotdog today but I was like nope only 2 more days. I'm thinking about the actual surgery too. Wondering if everything will go ok, will I regret it once I wake etc. But I have faith and so far all the signs have been there that I'm doing the right thing.

I felt the same way before surgery. I was hungry & wanted "real food". I was nervous about the surgery, too I'm 33 days out & I'm feeling fairly normal except I do get super tired by the end of the week. The weeks post op of liquid food & puree are tough, too. BUT, they are worth it. I can eat real food now - VERY small amounts! I've lost 24 pounds and doing well. Can't wait to get my energy fully back, though :) Good luck!!

I'm wondering if anyone can answer this question. 2 and a half weeks now since surgery. I had hoped I would see great improvement with my diabetes. Is it too soon to tell? They keep slowly raising my long insulin but shouldn't it be better. Lost 20 pds.

      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.
