Anyone ever eaten before you're suppose to?

[TransformingBri 17]

Today I am sooo thinking about food. I want some food. I have to have food. I want to chew something a million times and swallow...ANYTHING!!! I had surgery Tuesday. Anyone ever eaten before time?

That's really soon to eat something. I wouldn't risk it. I was supposed to move from liquids to puréed Friday and I had Refried Beans Thursday night so one meal early. I wouldn't risk it. If you need to chew something try ice.

This is head hunger find something to focus on and ice is good or try making flavored ice chip

I also moved myself to the next stage one night ahead (dinner) that was from puréed to soft food I ate a piece of chicken breast. I thought I chewed enough but since it was my first food in about 3 weeks or a month (don't remember) I did throw it up.

I wouldn't move ahead of schedule keep busy!!!

Good luck

Surgery date 7/25/12

I would not do it. You have to have time to heal (in the inside) it's not worth a complication or getting sick. Be strong! You can do this!!

Thanks for the support everyone! That's why I love this forum. I am passed the stage for the moment. I took a nap and woke up wanting my usual crystal light

I'm glad the moment passed for you. I'm 19 days out and in the beginning I was definitely hungry just like you. I wanted anything and I knew that u was truly hungry. However like you I would take a nap and that would help. Now I'm learning that if I drink a Protein shake it help tremendously with the hunger. So maybe that's something you could try. I know for me that helps at night as well. Good luck and hang in there.

I'm happy for you that you withstood the temptation. The fort to weeks of liquid only was by far the hardest for me. I had cravings and felt "hungry" all the time. You may laugh at me but at times I seriously wondered if my dr actually did the surgery lol. But I am 6 weeks post-op (3 weeks post bowel obstruction) and I now often have to force myself to eat. Hang in there!!

I started saving my Protein Drink for my late night snack. Really does helps with the hunger. I actually like them so it's something i look forward to.
