So im 6 days out and I feel like I could be hungry but im not sure if its hungry or just gas. I've been sipping and sometimes bigger than I should. But it almost feels like it could be a gurgle like empty. I'm just having issues trying to figure out the difference.

On a side note. Nothing sounds good. No thinned yogurt. Not Soup. Not Protein shakes. Im just confused

I'm only on day 2 after surgery, and am still dealing with the awful gas pains. I'm better this afternoon as some of the gas has made its way out, but definitely still feel bloated, big time. I'm trying to walk around the house every so often to help.

I also hear & feel the gurglling but I think it's liquids when they go down. I'm still on Clear Liquids & will be for a week. Rather boring but I can't say I crave anything right now. I'm drinking because I have to, certainly not in the mood for it

Just keep with the program to the best of your ability, and you"ll start to understand your body's signals. I don't think I really ate anything for about a week, and then, only a few bites. Otherwise, I learned how to drink Water without becoming nauseous--that was a struggle for a while. Work on drinking, drinking Protein Shakes, and moving. I know it sounds cliche, but it really does improve every day! :)

      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.
