jmg79 10 Posted March 23, 2016 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. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SassyNanny 311 Posted March 23, 2016 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!

dsheive 100 Posted March 23, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmg79 10 Posted March 23, 2016 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. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmg79 10 Posted March 23, 2016 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. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
