Struggling a bit

[jblgirl 10]

I was sleeved on the 6th and I've already lost 30lbs(yay!!!) but I am hungry :/ I want to eat something. Soup just isn't cutting it anymore. I've even upgraded to a yummy homemade thin potato soup and I still have the urge to eat. Any tips? How long were you on liquids? Is 3 weeks longer than normal?

I was on liquids for 3 weeks (5 weeks if you count preop). Are you on a PPI? If not, you should start. Your hunger could be acid. If you are, take some Maaloxx or Rolaids when you feel hungry. If it's acid that will help. Are you getting at least 64oz liquid? Thirst can also feel like hunger. And are you sure it's not just head hunger? Are you getting at least 60g Protein everyday? If none of the above help and you are truly physically hungry, well, no one said this was easy. It will get better when you start pureed and soft foods.

Thanks I need to up my fluids. It's just so hard to get in 64oz. I'll work on that and see if it helps.
