Almost one week out and hungry!



Recommended Posts

how often are you sipping on your liquids? have you remembered to include clear broth and popsicles into your plan? I would think the broths are more filling than just Water and sugar free non carbonated beverages?

Today I was truly HUNGRY! Stuck to the thin liquids plan but I'm hungry still. Help!

When was your surgery? There is a lot of what people call "head hunger" here. My husband and I do not feel hunger, and our doctor told us to not eat 3 meals a day, to only eat when we feel like it. Apparently you are still on the liquids stage so keep it up! Good luck!

I'm only "eating" three times a day. I have broth or Tomato Soup, Popsicles, sugar free beverages, 1/2 cup to a cup of Protein Shake a day.

Surgery was on February 13 and I was hungry that very day. When I got the all clear for liquids I was ecstatic and at the hospital had broth and 1/2 cup of tea

I was hungry for the first week after surgery and then it passed. I think it was actually my stomach settling post-surgery and/or acid rumblings. Take your anti-acids!

Only half a cup of Protein shake? Today was the first day I wasn't hungry. I finally got two Protein shakes down. I had to take them everywhere with me and pack a giant ice cube in the bottle. But that made such a difference for me.

Hope you figure it out. The hunger was really upsetting me the past two days.

I saw my nutritionist for a follow up today and she told me to take in more Protein Shakes. So from now on I will try 3 8 oz shakes a day to see if I can get rid of the hunger pains. She said I wasn't taking in enough protein! Thanks again everyone!!

That was my guess because that was my struggle pre-op. hope you get to feeling better soon!

      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.
