Hungry

[hopeful2loose2014 21]

I am 6 days post op and I have been doing great but today I'm starving. I had a shake for bkfast, puréed lentil Soup and ricotta cheese for lunch and haven't had dinner yet.

Also today I gained 3lbs. I'm getting very upset.

I've been hungry too. BUT I have noticed if I do drink 64 ounces of Water my stomach is pretty full. I've been really spending time trying to discern head hunger from stomach hunger. Definitely think I have both. I am not allowed anything but liquids yet. Just hang in there and do exactly what you are supposed to. It's pretty fool proof IF we don't get creative in following the rules. Hang in there hopeful2loose2014. I am 8 days out and its harder then I thought it was going to be but we have had the surgery so now lets make it successful!! 'm rooting for you

Thank you!! I was allowed mushy when I got home and I have been doing pretty well, but today I'm really hungry.

I woke up this am and found my self at 252. After my shower around noon I was 247. Lol try weighing at a different time.

It is so hard in the beginning! I got hungry a lot too! If you have acid in your stomach it can make it seem like your stomach is growling. A good PPI wil help with that. Some people never experience hunger again after this surgery, some do, guess which one I am? lol. Are you getting enough Protein and Water? It is hard in the liquid stage because dense protein is really what is going to fill you up. Just hang in there!
