2 weeks post op and regressed past 2 days?



Recommended Posts

I'm finally supposed to be able to start the pureed phase of my diet, however; yesterday and today I feel like I have taken a step backward? Yesterday I felt like I was constantly hungry but too full to eat anything and today I can't even take a pill that's been cut into fourths without discomfort. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or if there's possibly something wrong.

My Dr did not have me taking any pills for a month. chewables, blood pressure patch, Prilosec capsule opened up and taken with a sip of liquid. Drinking Premier Protein drinks filled me up and I never felt hungry. Sipping slowly and aiming for 2oz every 15-30 minutes kept me busy and my Protein high that first few days. Good luck!

You're feeling hungry and full at the same time, that's head hunger. Your use to eating so your brain is telling you to chew. Listen to your tummy not your brain

My doctors told me to cut or crush pills, and I don't think it was head hunger because my stomach had physical hunger pains.

could be acid - are you on medication for that?

I think you may be right. After I thought about it a little more, I did eat something that had a little more "flavor"...yes, I have 2 meds. Today I feel a bit better so it was probably something that just irritated my stomach.

      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.
