I am HUNGRYYYYY!

[laurenella82 625]

And so dang evil! I can't wait to eat something! Anything!!!! 9 days post op (and 13 lbs down)and everything makes me want to vomit! Lemon zinger tea and ice cold diet snapple is all I like!! It's like my security blanket. Lol

I can't be the only one going nuts right now...

It gets better. Trust me. It does. Hang in there. *hugs*

[laurenella82 625]

I know. But I just want some chips and guac. Or some chili with sour cream and cheese....lol

[Essence46 493]

There are some days where I am starving. I am eating Protein bars, drinking Protein shakes, eating Jerky, eggs, etc and my stomach is like "I'm hungry. I don't want any #### eggs! I want food!!! LOL!

I have been hollered at for telling this before...oh well! What got me through is I would take a package of instant potatoes and make it so thin.....it was Soup...add a little cheese. I know there is no Protein, but you are in the healing stage and that should be number one!!! It was so satisfying......I have never liked broth......some say cook chicken and make your own broth and it is better? You can also take refried Beans and add Water to make them Soup and add cheese. Just make sure it is real thin and no lumps. I had a terrible time with Protein at first also.....Once I hit the soft foods.....I lived off of Soups for several months and is still my go to when my tummy is not tolerating very well.

Guac, yes – chips, no! Stick it out through the 2-week liquid phase and you'll detox from the crap foods. Tell yourself you dont' want them anymore. Then introduce soft meats like tuna and chicken salad. You'll be amazed at how great they taste after 4 weeks of Protein shakes. I also found that warm chicken broth was very soothing during the first 2 weeks. Hang in there. It gets better quickly!!!

Stomach of Iron here. Nothing made me sick. I got bored of the taste of Protein shakes in the all liquid phase, but everything stayed down from day 1.

Hang in there. It's just 2 weeks. You can do this! However if you get to the point where NOTHING stays down call the doc ASAP.

[laurenella82 625]

So my all liquid phase is over tomorrow but because I haven't been getting in enough Protein my nut is leery of moving me to pureed/mushy foods. I'm praying she dies though. Im so evil sometimes, I can't stand myself! Lol

[bruni 38]

I saw my doc today and he asked if I had already started pureed foods and I said...uh, I thought you were suppose to approve that today...lol. He basically told me to start adding in pureed and soft foods slowly as tolerated. He is super laid back and obviously not completely on the same pages as the nutritionists...lol

I say this because yea...I was going NUTS on Protein shakes...couldn't choke down enough. Lucky for me they didn't even ask if I got 60 g every day or not, just if i was tolerating it all ok.

hang in there!

A girl in my support group ate guacamole, tuna with mayo and hummus as her first soft food meal. She ate it two weeks post surgery. I can't wait to eat that meal ????

[laurenella82 625]

I would love some salmon but I would settle for egg salad....guac or curry chicken salad! Mmmmm

[laurenella82 625]

If you've ever looked on pinterest or subscribe to "the world according to eggface" blog there is this ricotta bake that I want to try. It's basically lasagna without the Pasta. And you can add a meat sauce in top if you line.

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

I made that ricotta bake after I was out for dinner with nothing to eat. I ordered stuffed shells and just ate the stuffing Then cam home and started making it in ramekins.

You can up you Protein with greek yogurt. Thin it out by mixing it with the shakes you're drinking. Once you hit soft foods you can go half and half with mayo without changing the taste.

I know. But I just want some chips and guac. Or some chili with sour cream and cheese....lol

You actually have the chili w/sourcream and cheese- just no chips ????. I've been putting chili & cheese on top of mashed potato. Its really yummy
