The hunger you are experiencing is called head hunger. You are not actually hungry. The Brain has not caught to the surgery. Not sure what stage you are on, but my surgeon said the first couple of week staying hydrated was most important. Don't advance too quickly as you will find foods you will not eat again. eggs are not fun coming up - that is the food I advanced too quickly on.

Just remember head hunger is a strong advosary. It will play so many tricks on you.

I thought hey I got this liquid thing down I think I can advance. I have not been sick or had nausea I got this! Oh boy was I wrong. The eggs hit my stomach and my pouch said you damn fool I will show you.

About two weeks later I thought to my self man I really really want some turkey. I was on the puréed portion and thought well if I chew this enough I will be good. Same thing happened.

Thanks for the information. My surgery was May 27, I have lost 33 lbs. I try eggs and it hit my stomach like a rock. I have a problem with smells. I dumped for 3 hours after sitting around 2 restaurants. I crave salt, so I suck on chips every now and then. Is this normal? I'm overwhelmed and its only been a month. I need help!!!

      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.
