I had my gastric bypass on 11/8. I had major issues with the pain meds. Once I stopped then I felt so much better. My question is how do you know how much broth to eat? I'm able to tolerate sugar free popsicles. I am really missing regular food. Especially my saltine crackers. I used to eat like a pack of crackers a week.

I had one ounce every 15 minutes. It's more about staying hydrated during week 1 than overeating or oversipping. Give yourself a few more hours and the feeling should pass. It gets easier, I swear!

@@sjohn185 I had my bypass the same day that you did. I haven't had any hunger issues yet. I hope that it doesn't happen too soon. I can't drink too much at one time so I am basically just sipping.

I had mine on the 4th and I agree about the pain meds. I stopped then last night. I feel so much better. It seems we all on here have a ways to go but good for us in the steps we have taken.

      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.
