I want pureed food!

[animallover1247 249]

I have two weeks of a liquid diet and then two weeks of pureed foods. I am starving ALL the time. I am miserable! I did not expect to be dealing with this hunger all the time. Today was the first day I did not get all of my Protein in. I could not take one more bite of greek yogurt or one more drink of a Protein shake, I was eating and drinking those things six months before surgery and I want to puke every time I have to consume them now. Once I am on food, I don't think I will ever eat or drink those same things again. I will find an alternative. I feel for you having to wait an entire month. It is very interesting how every doctor is different with their instructions.

How much Water do you drink? I have to drink 2.5 liters of Water a day, within that I need half a liter with my protein. That keeps me feeling full!

I am supposed to drink 64 oz of water and I am doing that. Personally I think the problem is acid becasue I've been on Nexium for the past 15 years and I know the symptoms. My doctor told me my acid should be gone last week at my post op visit and would not increase my Nexium. I will be calling the office tomorrow.

The goal is to get 40oz a day of Water and 70 grams of Protein. My MD said my main goal was to concentrate on getting as much water in as possible and not really focus on the protein that way I won't end up back in the hospital for dehydration. Yesterday was the closest I've gotten, I was able to get in 32oz WOOHOO

I am sure others will tell you, it is only because your new stomach needs to heal. I was only on liquid diet for 2 weeks post-op and it felt forever! Give it time, I tried eating a teeny tiny pretzel bite not even a week after my surgery; needless to say I regretted that immediately because my stomach rejected it. It wasn't pleasant. It will all come with time, this is a difficult decision and you are that much stronger for having made it; stick to it. I was barely cleared to eat salads, and boy have I been missing raw cauliflower! It is all for your healing process. Hang in there. I will all be worth it when you start seeing results. Best wishes.

I had my sleeve done on the 23rd also. I was on Clear Liquids the first two days, then full liquids. I have been doing ok on strained cream Soups, pudding, yogurt, Jello, etc. I am able to move on to puréed food this Friday, according to my surgeon, but I'm really nervous about it!
