Eating/Drinking Too Much, Too Fast



Recommended Posts

I'm 13 days post-op and I feel like I can eat too much, too fast. For example, in the morning, I drink a full 8oz Protein Shake which takes me about an hour to finish. I think that's fine, but then over the past couple days I've been feeling hungrier more often. So, I try to eat a couple ounces of Protein rich foods throughout the day, and then a second protein shake in the evening. Have I stretched my sleeve already? Is that why I'm feeling hungrier? Is this normal?

I seem to. E having the same issue I'm two moths out and I can eat quite a bit of food. I think I have to constantly remind myself to slow down and allow my stomach to send messages to my brain saying that's enough and not eat until I feel full

You need to stick to portions sizes. I felt like I was straving, I couldn't sip I had to gulp. I couldn't nibble I had finish it. It's so hard. I know I was regretting it like crazy but think lifestyle change everything you used to do didn't work. Take your time!

      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.
