I had my surgery on March 24th and I can safely say I have been super hungry ever since. I am on a liquid diet (including thinned cream of wheat and thinned soup) for another week and a half. Please tell me it gets better :)

Welcome to head-hunger! Try to feel your tummy. It will probably say "no thanks, I've had enough!". BUT your head just can't wrap itself around that! Use the search feature in the upper right hand corner to find the many posts about this subject, and if you have more questions, don't forget to ask!

Yep, I drank so much flavored Water I spent half my day in the restroom, lol! Those little packets of Instant Lipton Cream of chicken Soup were my saving grace on full liquids... Make it with 4 oz of Water and add a scoop of unflavored Protein powder. I also got egg drop Soup from a local restaurant.... very satisfying.

If it is any consolation, it gets dramatically better when you get to purees/soft foods, that is when my hunger stopped.

I was sleeved on 3/30/15 and my hunger has returned. I was able to reason around the hunger because I know how painful it would be to even try. Also, I MUST trust the process and surgery. food will be there for me soon in 3 meals of 4oz. I'm relying on "Eating to live not living to eat." Old habits suck.

      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.
