So...I'm 4 weeks post op, and I feel great! The only thing is, I get hungry after I don't eat for an hour or two. And I know it is not head hunger because I feel a pain in my stomach. It goes away when I eat something, but then I just keep eating! I'm following all the rules perfectly. Help!!

I get hungry too, I have half an Optifast shake in between meals, it's a good source of Protein, it keeps hunger down and it means that I don't need to stop drinking fluids. It's what my dietician recommended

The Premier Protein shakes are available everywhere and are not expensive, are ready to drink and are my favorite. The 30 grams of Protein should help with hungry tummy!

I get all 3 flavors. I added coffee to my chocolate shake for mocha. I added Torani sugar free syrups to my vanilla shakes and can make so many flavors.

I didn't get hunger pain, but I did get a weak, woozy feeling if I didn't eat every 2-3 hours when I was 3 months post op. I can go longer now because I am eating more regular food, but I still need to eat more often.

      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.
