I had surgery 1-29. I have gained 7 pounds since starting pureed foods. I can not get a handle on this head hunger crap! Im not hungry yet I eat. I eat crap I KNOW I shouldn't eat. I need help and please done preach at me I have had enough of that by my "friends" and myself.

Do I start all over maybe a day a Clear Liquids and a cpl days of full? I just dont know what to do. I am in full depression mood too. Please.. any ideas any advice any words of wisdom.

Thank you for not spreading negativity

I haven't had the surgery yet....but I did read that it is normal sometimes to feel depressed and have mood swings...perhaps your doctor could see if you need some temp meds till you are feeling a little better..I know that it has to be such a huge adjustment...mentally and physically so don't be so hard on yourself...I also read that someone said that taking the prilosec or something like that helped with the hunger not sure how...when you feel hungry and want to eat maybe you could call a friend or surf the web till it passed....only suggestions....not sure if they will help but I hope so...I'll say a prayer also.

Hi eyoung. This surgery is very difficult as are the life changes so its not uncommon for us to become depressed and make poor choices. We've always self medicated with food and that is what we are comfortable with. Tomorrow is another day and you can start over with your Protein Shakes and then get back on the diet, You can do this!!!! Get your mind back on track by figuring out why you had this surgery and what your goal is. You are the master of your journey.

I have bad head hunger as well. My only recourse is to always be eating Protein. Even if I eat outside of a meal I make sure it's Protein. It's not the fries I really want, but it tamps down other cravings and fills me up too much to eat more stuff.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
