hungry every 2-3 hours post op.



Recommended Posts

I'm 1 month post op, on solid foods now, but I feel hungry every 2-3 hours. Is this normal,or am I not eating enough when I do eat? I always eat high Protein foods. I can't imagine that eating every two three hours would be good.

I just talked with my nutritionist about this! I feel the same way and am close to 3 months out now... She said it's because my new tummy cannot hold very much food and I'm eating such a small amount at each meal now. She also said not to worry. I thought I was becoming one of those "grazers" that I keep reading about! She told me to just eat a healthy Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 Snacks each day that are high in Protein, low in carbs and calories... and space them every 2-3 hours :) Good luck to you!

My nut said the same thing. Every 2-3 hours using 3 meals and a snack in between.

My problem is my meals are so small I can't tell what should really be a snack and what should be a meal.

I'm the same way! Lol

Are you waiting 30 min before you drink?

Since I had my surgery in November, I have always eaten every 2 hours. It works out great for me. I get only 2-3 oz of food in, but at least I am trying.

I have lost over 65+ pounds by eating like this. You will do fine.

      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.
